Children of the Corn August 4


OK, how about children of God in the corn. Pastor Jeff writing. Will Becca and I went back to the Chautauqua Rural Ministry today, planning to move furniture in their warehouse. I know that sounds really exciting. When we got there it was decided that it was so much more important for us to sort clothes hangers. For a half hour we mastered the coat hangers - then we moved furniture. Actually what we did is set the thrift furniture store back up after it's space had been painted. So we got to use both creative spacial skills and mindless back breaking work. By lunch time we were done. Yay! Josh from CRM said, "Hey, would you folks like to glean corn?" 'Yeah, that would be great," I said while Becca and Will were trying to get my attention with their shaking heads. "Oh come on it will be fun!" Off we went to the town of Sheridan. An hour and a half later, much dirtier and much sweatier we had 16 large bags (about 50 pounds each) ready to go to feed the local needy. It was a hard day, physically, but a good day that was capped off by Ron from LCLC treating us by taking us sailing and allowing use to kayak.
