Absolutely nothing. This Covid just drains your energy.

Keeping you both in heart and prayers every day Brother Keith.
Retired from Lake Kahola in 2017, and living in Council Grove, Ks. Work maintenance at the Assisted Living about 30 hours every two weeks.
With the Covid our Thrift Store is open by appointment only on Fridays and Saturdays. We are all volunteers from the local churches, process and display the donations, and use the revenue over operation expenses for community projects. Last year we donated 10-$1000.00 scholarships to graduating High School seniors. We also give $300 to each participating church for youth programs. We donate to the local Care and Share for food bank and emergency assistance. We give 10's of thousands of dollars throughout the year to many different local charities and needs. We also offer inexpensive clothing, books, toys and various household items. Shoes many of which are like new, are $.50, pants other than new are $.50, boots are $1.00, as are coats. I can cloth myself in boots, pants shirt, and belt for under $4.00. My coffee pot quit, so I picked one up for $2.00. It is a great blessing to work with some of the most dedicated of hearts in service to our Lord.
We had a young man come in on a cold morning clothed in tennis shoes, shorts, and a T-shirt, who was staying at a local ministry house and looking for work. I took him under my wing and got him work boots and a better pair of tennis, four or five shirts, several pair of pants, a duck coat with a hood, and a suitcase. All for under $10.00 and the store donated them for his need. We established afterwards that we could help out such for no more than $20 total and two times.
We also assist with Commodity distribution each month and also other food distributions. This morning I went in about seven to empty the donation cabinant, fill out the daily appointments, and also get the thermometer ready to take temperatures as folks come in. Like this morning a clothes rack was falling apart so I drilled a couple of holes and put a couple of screws in. We limit to five every 15 minutes and they have 20 minutes to shop. We fill the mission bags with off-season and clothes which do not sell, store them in a shed and volunteers deliver to local Salvation Army Stores in Emporia and Manhatten, as well as to Goodwill. I get to greet our shopping guests, and so often help them carry out, and facilitate the shopping and check-out. I work Friday and Saturday mornings and if needed through the afternoon.

Up with morning coffee and running Facebook, and it is so very nice to come back "home" with my precious siblings in the Lord. Off to Church for Sunday School and worship this morning, changing 4-5 light bulbs this afternoon, then our one hour prayer session at Church this evening. God bless each of you so very much.

Going to church but will be outside. Somehow they have rigged it so we can listen to the service on the radio. So will be in the parking lot listening. Leary of going into any buildings with a lot of people. Love my brothers and sisters...but.
Then home for what I hope is a quiet Sunday afternoon. Children have brought me a tape of "The Chosen" and I am going to watch it.
