It's Saturday and the building is as always, alive with activity.  Elizabeth, Randal, and Cathy are always here to clean, repair, install, talk, eat (of course!), and best of all encourage.  The smell of coffee and biscuits is all about.  Others drop in - like David Richards, with double armloads of supplies; and Natalie to say 'hi' and visit a bit before taking off into town. Rich swings by to pick up some things from the other day.  The phone rings with calls from our precious ladies, LaRue and Callie, and Brandon calls for updates on the movie night (tonight).

The smell of breakfast is replaced with aroma of 'clean'.  The mud is scrubbed off the nursery mats, music is played, and Roscoe the church mascot plays tag with Cathy when he can distract her for a moment.  Randal and I venture out into the frozen tundra to put the letters on the sign for the movie tonight.  Cathy and Elizabeth are cutting up jalapenos for movie snacks.

Bathrooms are sanitized and the carpet is vacuumed.  The worship music is carefully constructed and the slides are prepped.  The lesson is sharpened and some Greek is tossed about.  Supplies are stocked and arranged.

Wendell, Laura, Arnold, Randy, and Don, begin to filter in for a band practice.  They will be performing at a retreat in Bridgeport in week or so.  So, the building fills with the sounds of praise again - this time, in a live format.  Roscoe takes part with the band.

This evening the building will be teeming with people for the movie.  More fellowship, and no doubt, more encouragement.

It would appear the property is actually serving its purpose - to glorify Him.  If you ever want some down-home Spirit filled encouragement, come visit the building on a Saturday morning.  There's no telling who you will see or what will be taking place.

What a privilege to be a part.
