Helena 2012 Tuesday in the Delta

Typical Delta Day in July - Hot, 98 degrees and very humid; and all is well!   Tomorrow we start on the backside of camp week and we have had an unbelievable number of touching and wonderful experiences.  Our blessing team started the day making and delivering 256 lunch bags containing bologna sandwiches with the red ring left on.  Being that we finished lunches at 11:20, we opted to skip camp lunch and visit Ms. Nora and Mr. Curley.  If you remember the story from last year, Ms. Nora was the lady that was so sick that we helped get her home from the clinic.  Most of us thought that she would never leave her chair.  Since last year, Nora has lost 90 pounds and regained her spirit to be in charge and is up and about.  We bought sandwiches at the Corner Grocery and enjoyed then with Nora & Curley.

Kristen asked tonight where saw God today?  Bob expressed that a Nora story he heard was a wonderful experience and the entire Blessings  team agreed ,  Charlie had collapsed from apparent heart ailments.  Ms. Nora begged Charlie not to leave her and told Jesus not to let it happen. She touched him over and over and demanded he get up.  Charlie did come to and get up.

We later delivered cookies and had nice visits with Mr. Cunningham (furnishes ice), The Flanagan Family, the Propane Company and Pastor Williams and Jean.   Great visits were had with each and Mrs. Williams invited HBBC for dinner next year.  The evening dinner was taco salad at Delta Fellowship followed by ½ price milkshakes at the Sonic drive-in.  A few opted to pay full price at “Best Coke in Town”.

 Hope and Margaret expressed again last night the joy received in doing adult swim.  Hope told me, “You really need to come and take pictures of these older ladies swimming” and Margaret stated that she was tired, ready for a break and begrudgingly went to the pool.  Working with her little lady resulted in a satisfaction and transformation.  She forgot she was tired, she was smiling and she was so glad she was there.

Noted earlier was the presence of Rev. Muse.  Along with Kristen comes Riley.  We want to bottle that energy, that laughter, that smile.  She and Taylor had us all thinking we were young again.  She was a nice addition to camp.  If you haven’t been to the Delta to see God work, you should come!

I and The HBBC Mission Team bid you a good night
