Cindy and I have been involved for several years with the youth ministry at our church. One of the big things we try to emphasize as a ministry is putting others first and being servants. Early this morning (after running, of course) we took a group of students to a local middle school to spread mulch around the trees and flower beds. The really exciting part is that now have proof that Evans can actually do manual labor.
We had a great time. The students worked really hard, I'm sure the school appreciates the effort. After we finished (there were several groups in multiple locations), we all gathered at a local park for burgers, hot dogs and Johnny's (our youth minister) freshly-baked cookies!! Yay!!
Here's the evidence. This is Evans and John offloading a pile of mulch. Jessica is in the yellow shirt way in the background. In the picture at the top of the page, she is in the lower right corner (same yellow shirt).
Evans was allowed to drive the truck. Scary.

I'm homesick for those Saturday morning ministry opportunities. My muscles ache in sympathy to the hard work in "The Mill." You guys rock!!
Glad you said it was you in the truck...I mean that glare from the truck was so bad - no - wait - I think the glare is from that white arm hanging out the window. ;p
