Up early, manage to get everyone up and out of the house on time, and manage to find two replacement teachers for the two who called at thirty minutes before time to leave. Nothing like having advance warning.
Church was very good, aside from having to keep poor, tired Oldest awake after her arduous laziness on Saturday. Interesting note was that we had a fellow and his family up from New Orleans who are going to be staying in the area for an indeterminate amount of time. One of our members found jobs for the man and his wife, and we were able to get them and their kids clothed again, so hopefully they will be able to get on their feet soon. Not sure if they'll go back, though. We also are working with three congregations down in Mississippi and one in south Alabama and and will be sending several trucks go down next week with some cash and supplies for them to distribute.
Home, lunch, then back to work cleaning the den and dusting and throwing stuff away. Did that for several hours, then got dressed and went back for evening services, then came home and ate supper and sent everyone to bed so we could make a nice start of it on Monday.
