We all want to run the race to win. Never giving up or giving in ... Comin at you like a BLITZ!!!!!!!!!!

The title of this post is taken from an old song by the band Audio Adrenaline (with guest stars, the O.C. Supertones^^) it's about a church group ("14 kids in an old church van") on a trip, and its about how crazy life can be when you are on a mission. Thats what this place is going to be like all week. That's right. It's a Blitz Build. We have teamed up with Habitat for Humanity to do this awesome project, and are really excited, though somewhat apprehensive. Starting tomorrow morning at 5:30am, a group of over 200 volunteers is building 7 houses from the subfloor up, in 5 days. We are in for a wild ride. I will be working an extra 3-4 hours every day, getting there before the volunteers and leaving after them. There won't be much time for blogging and talking, but I highly recommend checking out the Lagniappe Church blog (link to the right) as it will be updated throughout with pictures and news about the builds. Please keep me, the other interns and staff, and especially the volunteers in your prayers. The weather looks good, not too much rain, not too hot, but the heat is a big concern, especially when you are working against the clock, and statistically the odds of getting injured on the worksite go up by a sizable amount when doing a blitz build. I'm going to bed, 5am is coming a lot quicker than I think.
