Tennessee Ernie Ford used to sing a song called "Sixteen Tons" and it went you load 16 tons and what do u get: another day older and deeper in debt! Yesterday when Dr Wanda Pipkin called me and said we had 16 international students without beds and it was sleeting like mad, I thought " Wanda and Lynette are over there praying but I try to 'put feet to my prayers'". So I put it on Facebook and we went to work pleading with people! And they answered and met the challenge!
We have the 16 beds in sight! Wanda has already delivered two in the sleet! Tammy Baldwin came over in the sleet with a big donation and a furniture dealer has agreed to get the fourteen beds on Monday for the donations we have now!
The sleet is here and it is covering everything but prayer and the spirit of giving!
