All Thumbs

Two Thumbs Down- For those whom celebrated Pioneer Day by enjoying what had to be a mighty impressive display of fireworks in the church parking lot and leaving the mess behind.

Two Thumbs Up- For the youth who stepped up with rakes and brooms in hand and spent a good portion of a summers afternoon, on hot asphalt, sweeping up a mess they did not make.










 Two Thumbs WAY Up- For those who were in such a hurry to help that they showed up without shoes! They swept that blistering asphalt until they couldn't stand it and then borrowed shoes that were sizes too small from a younger brother and mom so that they could finish the job.

Two Thumbs Way Up & Bless the heart- Of this little one who wanted to help and hurried so fast that this is the way she showed up to help...


Now that is dedication.

This made me cry. How could people do such a thing? How sad that they could be so selfish. But then - those kids. Bless those kids. If I'd been here, I'd have helped. This is so impressive.

We should have taken a picture of my bloodied blistered hand from all of the sweeping!!!

I was so proud of all of our kids. We really do have rockin' kids.

People like this - and their children - are absolutely amazing. Thank you for helping to make great people out of 'the next generation'.

You, my friend, are awesome...

I do hope that the idiots that let off the fireworks saw these kids cleaning up their garbage and felt a twinge of guilt. More likely though, they were sleeping and caring less. Morons.
