Journal: February 16

It’s Thursday night and the end of another SOWER work week. This morning, Jesse made it a point to tell me that he thinks we are doing a great job as a SOWER team. Admittedly he has only a brief experience with SOWER groups, but he said we are functioning the way a group should work. He alluded to past problems related to the GL putting undue pressure on people and causing problems. Our group works well together in harmony and unity. Everyone seems happy. There have been no complaints. I feel that God has blessed us with a group of winners. We have respect for the abilities of the highly skilled folks and grace for each other’s short comings. We have leaders and willing followers. The list of jobs Jesse gave us is almost totally completed and he is coming up with new projects. It is obvious that these SOWERS are committed to serving the Lord as best they can. They are not here to serve themselves.
Today, Harry and I took on the challenge of taking out an exterior door on an old house and replacing it with a new one. Because it was an old house the opening was too small for the new door. We had to make it wider and higher which was the challenge. By the end of the day we were able to celebrate success. I sure like my new tools. The impact driver and cordless nailer were very helpful.
We ended the day with a nice dinner at The Longhorn Steakhouse. Tomorrow promises to be an adventure day with plans for a stop at Plant City, the largest strawberry growing place in the world, on our way to Lakeland, FL for a Booth Brothers Concert.
