Moving slowly but surely...I just got back to the office after setting a temporary electrical pole (with our crew) at Gradma Bet's house. We are in the final stages of making preparation for demolition. We are still waiting on the property deed to be recorded so that we can finish our permitting. Tim Sheehan said this should be completed sometime next week.

Hope everyone has a great and safe New Years! Do not forget our January 5, 2009 meeting at 7:00 PM (First Baptist Church of Lake Placid).

God is GOOD! Last Friday we had our annual Employee Christmas party. Throughout this past year God has blessed our company, giving us an opportunity to share these blessings with our employees by the means of an employee year end profit sharing bonus. On this same day our employees returned the favor by giving me a Christmas gift, which was a $500.00 donation to Kingdom Builders for the Betty Wilson project. What a beautiful thing to witness God's blessings!

REMINDER: Tonight's meeting is canceled. We have rescheduled this meeting for January 5, 2009 at 7:00 PM (First Baptist Church of Lake Placid).

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
2 Corinthians 9: 15
Thank God for this gift-too wonderful for words (NLT)

I attended a meeting last night with Kathy Freeman, Cathy Britt, and Lisa Bellamy to discuss our ground breaking and fundraising events. We are making some changes with these events and I will keep everybody posted when we finalize our plans.

IT'S HERE...The $15,000.00 check from the Lattner Foundation! I received a copy of the check from Cathy Britt...there are not enough words to explain the gratitude towards the Lattner Foundation for their financial help with this project. I know God will continue to bless the Lattner Foundation as they continue to give to other "needy" causes...PRAISE GOD!

We are canceling our Monday 12-22-08 7:00 PM meeting and rescheduling it for Monday 1-5-09 at 7:00 PM (First Baptist Church of Lake Placid). The Holidays have got me and everyone else too busy to make this meeting.

PSALM 96
1 Sing a new song to the LORD! Let the whole earth sing to the LORD! 2 Sing to the LORD; bless his name. Each day proclaim the good news that he saves. 3 Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does. 4 Great is the LORD! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be revered above all the gods. 5 The gods of other nations are merely idols, but the LORD made the heavens! 6 Honor and majesty surround him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. 7 O nations of the world, recognize the LORD; recognize that the LORD is glorious and strong. 8 Give to the LORD the glory he deserves! Bring your offering and come to worship him. Worship the LORD in all His holy splendor. Let all the earth tremble before him. 10 Tell all the nations that the LORD is king. The world is firmly established and cannot be shaken. He will judge all peoples fairly. 11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise! 12 Let the fields and their crops burst forth with joy! Let the trees of the forest rustle with praise before the LORD! 13 For the LORD is coming! He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness and all the nations with his truth (NLT).

Thank you GOD for all the individuals you have used to make this project become a reality. May you God, and you alone continue to receive all the glory, honor and power as we move forward with Grandma Bet's home.

Several meetings ago Paul and Cathy Brit mentioned that Rebuilding Together would have some funds left over as they are shutting down its operation. Paul asked if anyone knew of a need where remaining efforts and funds could be directed. Steven Hollingsed mentioned the need of Keane and Chris West with their trailer (rotten floors, settling, etc...). Paul has since met with Keane to discuss some of these issues and the possibility of helping them. It was discovered that these problems are much more serious than we thought; trailer settling issues (being on muck) and a very serious mold problem. Paul has made a suggestion and started the process to patch some of the defective flooring (caused by mold) with the available funds. Please keep Keane and Chris in your prayers along with Kingdom Builders; God give us ALL specific direction in this matter.

Paul and Cathy thanks for your help with this problem, you guys are awesome! What you are doing will buy Keane and Chris some time for God to work through their problem.

Do not forget our next scheduled meeting Monday 12-8-08 at 7:00 PM (First Baptist Church of Lake Placid). A final thank you goes out to all the kids that participated in the car wash last Saturday raising almost $200.00 dollars for Grandma Bet's home.
