  Saturday Night in Cedar Ridge KY
Greetings from our Saturday night stop over. We are at a Presbyterian Camp just outside of Louisville KY. We had a great day for travel,...unlike the weather at home it was 60 and sunny most of the way. We logged 660 miles today and have about 350 left for Sunday....ETA should be somewhere around 3 EST. Thanks to all who logged into this blog...your posts of encouragement. The team is tired but satisfied...we made a difference down in MS...lives are getting better each day as is life in the Gulf still a long way to go though and many more missions in the future. I will relay this one story that Ella told me as I sat in her FEMA trailer on Friday..when we were in MS last Nov she really wanted to get out of MS and never go back.....but the day we completed gutting out her house was the day things started turning around...Rick told her then that there were a lot of folks from Michigan praying for her and all of our Gulf Family...because they are all our family. Ella said when Rick...a Reverend...a man of GOD said that to her she knew things were going to be all right....and now a year later they are much better and getting better by the day....Ella asked that I thank you all for our prayers and support...and God Bless Rosedale Gardens Presbyterian Church
