We moved Isaac from his dorm to his soon-to-be-residence at the mercy house today. We brought a car load of clothes home, and amp and guitar. The rest we took to the mercy house for when he moves in there after the florida trip. It wasn't actually too bad. It was even an opportunity for him to realize he had a whole tub of new towels - other than the two he'd been using all semester. :)And the Mercy House is cool. It's an old school building that their church bought. I wouldn't say it is in real good condition. A summer spent at camp would have nicer accomodations, but... it's still pretty neat. A bunch of great big rooms, a whole weight set, communal living, plenty of opportunity. The rest rooms might be the worst part, but if he sticks to the plan to utilize the AU exercise facilities he can utilize their shower facilities as well.
Apparently he's going to work at the school doing grounds work a couple days a week; mentoring with the pastor 3 mornings a week; take care of the garden; put on a vbs; maybe get another part-time job; take in some seminars and whatnot; and try to build some relationships in the neighborhood. I think it's a pretty awesome thing that they've got like 6 or 7 guys and 1 girl committed to this. What a plan.
It was also cool that they were looking for beds for all these people, and the college just happened to be planning to remodel one dorm, needing to get rid of all the beds. So me, Jane, Isaac, Ben and his mom, and Joel snagged 10 beds. God provides, you know... if we notice. I was disheartened to realize I didn't even notice. But I'm glad someone did.
All in all a good day. No rain doing dirt work at church; no rain moving Isaac. Thanks. Now if I could do something about softening up this heart o' mine...

Try some meat tenderizer on the heart, I've been getting excellent results with it on the grill.
As for the kids in the project, I'd say that's going to be one popular girl. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before they start calling her Smurfette.
