This weekend was great but miserable at the same time. Actually it was mostly great just miserable Friday night between the hours of midnight and 6:30 am. We had "night in a box" with the middle school group from church. The kids brought their own boxes to use as shelters to sleep in for the night. The purpose was to experience just a little bit of what it is like to be homeless. They got to see different parts of the world and see how homeless children survive in those areas. It was a sobering night for some. We also got to hear about what is going on in Redlands and how we can help those that don't have a place to call home. After sleeping on a bench/ sidewalk, we helped build loft houses in the morning to take down to Mexico. There is a reason why I am not a contractor :) ( we nailed one of the houses wrong the first time and had to re- do it, ha!)
