The team is tired, but it's a good tired

There were no posts on Wednesday night as the team was wiped out from ALL of the hard work the previous 5 days.

As many of you received my emails discussing the number of hours that went into this mission, I pointed out that the team is giving over 3,000 hours collectively.  While this does include sleep, I want to be sure to point out that sleep has been in short supply due to how much passion the team has toward doing all of its work the best possible way and with no less than maximum effort.  There have been many late nights past 12AM as well as starting our days around 5AM with only a few minutes break time in between.

And, truth be told, who wants to take a break when these kids are just waiting like there is no tomorrow to be with you and play with you.

Have you ever had a half dozen little girls in the 5th grade wait outside for you to play basketball?  There is no way that you can just let them wait as you can worry about sleep and high altitude and the fact that kids can run for ever later.

Nothing quite like the team looking dead tired during prayer and reflection to know that each member gave all that they could.
