Jacob’s Ladder: Day 2
We worked on the windows all day yesterday. They're not so much "windows" as they are shutters. . There's no glass, and really no need for it. They're just shutters that they can close and lock.
At prayers and discussion last night we were asked how God has called us. I talked with jack about my experience, and then shared it with the group. I didn't realize it until then that God sent me to police work. For so long I thought God wanted me to be a priest. I asked Him, "What else can I do?" I knew I felt called to be a cop, but I didn't know until last night that I was being called by God.
Today, we finished the windows and made some doors as well. the other groups made great progress as well. They're building a new pavilion for the children to use. Tomorrow we'll be putting gutters on the roof of the existing pavilion so they can catch rain water. There's not really any running water here. All of the water is brought in by a tanker truck, and is put in tanks on the roofs. Gravity brings the water into the sinks, toilets, and showers. The showers don't really "flow," they dribble. It's expensive to bring in water too, so being able to harvest the rain water will help.
