Serving the Lord, helping the kids, and spending the last third of my life working my way back to the place where I can hang with the boy.

Cookson 001 - Going for Groceries


There are a number of things we do to help the Cookson Hills Christian Ministry. One of them is to go get groceries for the food store. About once a month Michelle and I take either a flat bed truck (shown) or a diesel pickup with a trailer to a near by city. We meet the Olkahoma food bank truck and bring a few tons of groceries back for the kids and the people who take care of them (take care of the kids, not the groceries).

When we lived in Texas I once did a project that I called "A Thousand Pounds of Meat". Simply put I got family and friends to donate meat. I also shopped the sales at Kroger in an effort to meet my goal of giving a thousand pounds of meat to the Texas food bank and various other benevolent food distribution sources. We reached our goal that year and now that we're at Cookson we get to participate in the other end of the distribution.
