Arlington, Texas

The place on earth today is Arlington, Texas. We have been here since Wednesday night. Today we were with 34,000 other people from all over the country. Yes, we used the roads we built, but more importantly we all paid our own way, and are here to help other people and organizations in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. It is a gigantic outpouring of generosity, love and joy. My daughter and I worked at a food drive collection location, where 10 18-wheelers had already been loaded, and we were working on the 11th. about a hundred people where there, and hundreds of carloads of people came by with bags and boxed of food, as well as clothing, books, games, etc. Elsewhere all over the area, buses and vans transported other folks to homes, churches, community organizations, Goodwill, etc. painting, mulching, feeding, visiting the elderly.

No agenda, no paybacks or much acclaim, except amongst each other. Just being with like minded people of all backgrounds, races, colors. All 50 states. All following a noble call of a guy who has taken it upon himself to lead where others won't go. Glenn Beck. You can like or unlike him, but you can't argue with the results of a fruitful day in service to others, following in obedience to what God tells us to do. Tomorrow will be an evening filled with fun, history, entertainment, celebration, love for all, worship, a true hope, and a camaraderie worth working for. Read up on it yourself, and look for more info here, and on my facebook tomorrow as it happens.
