It has been a full week!
Monday I went to the Arkansas Food Bank to shop for our significantly smaller food panty at the church. Whereas our church will feed about 100 families each month, the Arkansas Food Bank helps to feed hungry folks all over Arkansas. In 2010, they distributed 13.2 million pounds of food to approximately 300 member agencies of which we are one. But, I digress.
While at the Food Bank, I loaded onto a cart 10 cases of vegetables (24 - 15 ounce cans per case) along with some other foods. The vegetables were combined with some frozen breads and meats, some cases of tuna and ravioli, and some cereal to fill my truck with groceries that I pray will last two weeks. Loading that food onto the cart, then into my truck, and moving them into the church is enough weight-lifting for one day.
The rest of the week I mixed the exercises up a little. Tuesday I walked around the church some.
On Wednesday I walked around the hospitals a bit. At Baptist it is a small hike going from a parking space to the elevators! The same is true at any of the hospitals in Little Rock, but I happened to be at Baptist.
On Thursday I walked across the street to Madison Homes where I shared Holy Communion with the residents there. Then I went to West Little Rock to worship with some folks at an assisted-living facility. Great fun even if the walking wasn't thirty continuous minutes each day.
I didn't walk far on Friday, but on Saturday we took our grandson to the Clinton Presidential Library to see the Lego display. Oh, how awesome it is! From Lego building blocks people have constructed statues of people, bridges, buildings (the entire Presidential Library complex), and a "pop-up" story book. It was a great strolling Saturday.
Where have you been? What did you see?
