Community service

Scott and I have been going to church since early September and we really like it. We even joined a small group that meets Wednesday nights. One of the things the church is doing is practicing Micah 6:8 - and the way they're applying it is through community service. The only weekend we could do was this one. So we went and helped pain rooms at a men's rehabilitation center. 

Here is the before:

And in process:

We're not the best but we got it done. We did two coats of paint and scrubbed the baseboards. Scott also filled in some holes. I have so much paint on me, it's not funny.

It felt good but boy was it tiring. 

I want to do it more often. I used to do community service, volunteer and fund raise all the time. In high school I came up with an organization called Help A Neighbor where I went door to door to collect over 8,000 pieces of clothing. And in college I did Relay for Life, Ali & Dad's Army, Habitat for Humanity and Big Brothers/Big Sisters. Since I've done a few others here and then but nothing substantive. I am going to start doing this more again :)
