Before we head back to Ukraine, I worked an eight (am) to five-thirty (pm) shift at Sand Creek on Saturday. Jen and I were both thrilled when we got there (NOT!) and found out that we really didn't need to be there until 9:30 a.m. but we managed to find plenty of work to do while we waited - including me almost driving the Bobcat over the edge - opps!
My first group was from Crown College. What an amazing time with fellow believers! I was able to challenge, encourage and have so much fun with them!
Sometime after lunch, we had a family of four arrive early - mom, dad, and twin sons who had just graduated from high school. One of the sons, Luke, had just found out that he was going to need a heart and kidney transplant. Mom was afraid to send him down the zip, but staff encouragement won and they finally decided to go. As I locked Luke in, I looked at him and said, "You know, if you're heart gives out now, I'm the one who's going to have to do CPR, so I suggest you don't do that!" (Like he has any say in the matter!). But with a smile he took off - and the family had a wonderful time.
Days at Sand Creek always seem to be so good . . .
