Am I speaking English? I never said I wasn't happy for the family, in fact if you look at the past comments, I said I would gladly do it again!!! I also commented on how deserving they were. You people have missed my point entirely. As far as I'm concerned Jesus set the example, with his humility even though he is the Son of God, that my friend is the humility I want.

To "minnesota", I DO NOT CONSIDER MYSELF A "HATER". I think RoyBatty makes a good point. I guess I was surprised that considering a project that is done as many times as they have, that they would have a better handle on the number of people needed and when. (Unless weather or machine breakdowns occur). I think we can all say that it is a worthy cause and the focus should be on the family. It just didn't surprise me that even in the most humblest of situations, you still have the "haves" utlizing their privilege, and the "have nots" humbly standing by ready to serve.

I'm also talking about the "Volunteers". I was one of them. Don't get me wrong, I'd do it again in a heartbeat. But let me tell you, when I got there no one asked for my name, no one verified any identification. And as far as the VIP , believe me I saw several people who "KNEW" someone get invited to come to the tent and get "special previleges. Whatever, I was just disappointed that I couldn't have done more than just stand around most of the day. However, just being there was definately an "honor".

I volunteered my time for this worthy project, and even though there was not much work for us, I too am excited to have the family see what can happen when a community comes together. I do have one "negative" comment to make. It's amazing how "it' s who you know" syndrome that allowed many who didn't sign up to either get the "vip passes" or do the volunteer work that we signed up to do." Leave it to "vain humans" to take advantage and use their clout to include some and exclude others.

LOL, like anyone would come to see my house!!! I guess I would hope that given the opportunity for a home make-over, I wouldn't mind. I would love to have all the volunteers who worked so hard to get to see up close and personal, the "fruits of their labor".

Wouldn't it be great if everyone upon participating in this great experience, came away with the desire to keep on giving in the community, by reaching out to their neighbors?

Howitz, I get what you're saying. However, as volunteers we were told NOT TO WALK AROUND, NOT TO WANDER, but to stay by the tent in case we were called. By the way, I was given a VIP pass (by mistake) and I did what Jesus would do, "I was honest, gave it back and told them they had made a mistake".
On They’re almost done!
