Russ and I spent 3 days in Maddisonville, KY. We went to the Revolution Tour Conference. It is 3 days of music, speakers, and service projects. The conference is based on acts of service. To learn more about the Revolution Tour you can click on their link to the left. Russ and I worked with another man cleaning brush out of the back yard of an elderly couple. Last year Kentucky had a terrible ice storm. Someone cut limbs and stacked all the debris in a pile in their yard. They had no way of burning it or hauling it off so we helped them. It was a great time doing something for someone who could not do it for themselves. Other service projects were going on at the same time. Some people moved furniture, some painted for habitat for humanity, some visited the nursing home, and others did other similar projects around the community. I would say that the conference was a huge success. Lots of people from the community showed up and volunteered. If only a handful truly got the message of service in their community then Maddisonville will never be the same!
Michelle and the boys stayed home this time. She did a wonderful job taking care of her brothers. Next time they will go with us. We will be going to Nashville, TN in March. We can't wait!
