Christmas Hope and Powertools

Today started out as an overcast day here in Switzerland, and shortly after lunch turned into a flat rainy day. We, however, didn't let the rain dampen our mood, and continued to try and be productive around here at the base. We finished our shed project yesterday, which brought us to a slow, gradual renovation process in a house turned dormatory that YWAM owns here. This has consisted of a good deal of moving, rearranging, and finally today, setting up some of the rooms for students who are going to arrive here next Monday. While moving, we discovered an old box FULL of random stuff like the complete works of Mark Twain and National Geographics from the early 80's, and also within it held a little jewel known as "Christmas Hope" (http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Hope-Various-Artists/dp/B000H0MMN6/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1218568059&sr=1-9). This joyous selection features some of your favorite Christmas tunes sung by various artists like Michael W. Smith, Gary Chapman, and everyones favorite...4Him. Needless to say, once we found a CD player, we embarked on a Christmas journey not traveled by many, and not soon to be forgotten. Once that started playing, productivity skyrocketed, and the rainy day blues couldn't hold us back. Turns out I'm an electrician...who knew? Speaking of unrealistic resourcefulness...I think I may go see The Dark Knight tomorrow. I might have already seen a bootleg version of it, but really I feel like it is pretty irreplaceable on the big screen, so standby for reactions. Anyway things are going well here, the food is still good, the people are still nice, and Michael Phelps is still winning.
