The week after Christmas Cross Roads sent a few good people to Alabama to praise God, share themselves and do some good work.....
We did a variety of things but one of the projects was brilliant. We have been on more than a few Habitat builds and it always bothered us that at the end of the day we through away the scraps....scraps that at home would have been stacked up and used for something sometime. But the reality of a build, you just can't keep everything. For one thing there is not enough storage space to do that. And it is not a good idea to leave stuff stacked up, for safety and it encourages vandalism.
But this chapter decided to do something about it....They secured a warehouse to store the scraps and they now make playhouses, dog houses, and bird houses with the scraps....but here is the fun part! They build the playhouses, then they use the scraps to build a dog house, and then they use the scraps from the dog houses to build bird houses.
Then they are painted in bright colors and sold as fund raisers that go back into the programs. The one we worked on is painted Crimson to honor the University of Alabama...AKA Roll Tide. Where Forrest Gump went!
Our group thought we should bring back at least two! One for Abby and one for Kamryn!
Allen checks it out.....
