Staying for a second year
The last two weeks I have spent at home with my family in CT. About three months ago I requested and was granted another term of service with CAP, and we get two weeks off in between our first and second years. I can’t tell you the amount of joy and love I’ve experienced in eastern [...]
Disaster Relief
“I’ve never seen anything like this.” This was probably the most used sentence over the past two weeks in Pike County. The amount of damage that this flood did was unbelievable. I’ve never responded to a flood clean up before and this certainly was an eye opening experience. Many homes were just washed away, trailers [...]
Changes
There have been a lot of changes going on within CAP and the volunteer house lately. One of the big ones is theexpansion of the Floyd Volunteer House. Right now the volunteers at Floyd just live in the downstairs part of the house and the upstairs is used for another mission organization to hold their [...]
There are only so many tomorrows.

After weeks of hearing me talk about them incessantly, a friend came with me to visit Earl and Sarah. Their place really looks fantastic; a church group from Ohio came down for YouthFest and we were able to do a huge clean-up in the yard and paint the trailer. The results were remarkable, and Earl, Sarah [...]
Hot Weather and Weekend Adventures
These last few days in eastern Kentucky have been sweltering. I never knew how hard it was to work outside in 95 degree weather with humidity making it feel like 110 degrees. It’s been hard to get myself motivated in this weather because I feel like the sun just drains me of all energy. Luckily [...]
Ichthus 2010: Faith in Action
This past week I got to experience Ichthus, which is a 4 day festival that includes Christian bands and speakers. This was the first time I have ever been to Ichthus but I’ve been to a similar event in New Hampshire called Soul-fest, which is basically the same thing. It was an awesome time to see [...]
A welcome break
Well, I’ve been staring at this blank computer screen for the past 20 minutes trying to come up with something to write in my blog, but I honestly don’t have anything. These past two weeks have been pretty typical weeks at CAP. We had our house meeting with Harold, our volunteer life manager, this past [...]
Time
Time sure has flown since I’ve been at CAP. It seems like just yesterday I was on a plane to Kentucky to begin my service with CAP. Now I’m two months away from the end of my service time. I think part of the reason why time seems to have flown is because we have been [...]
Busyness and Retreat
These last few weeks seem to have flown by extremely fast and they have also been pretty busy for me. Since it is getting closer to summer we are having lots of prospective volunteers visiting CAP, as well as our volunteer house. So for the last few weeks we seem to have had at least [...]
Remembering the Lord Jesus in everything we do
Originally I wasn’t going to post anything on my blog for this week because I felt like I had nothing of importance to write about. But then on a kind of spur of the moment decision I was voted to do devotion on Monday because no one had signed up to do it. This was [...]
