99 (x1000) drywall nails on the wall, 99 drywall nails on the wall. pull one out let it drop to the floor, 98 (x1000) drywall nails on the wall. . . Its a song similar song to "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall", but with a few more verses.
Today we finished our mucking out experience. A once beautiful house, ripped by hurricane winds and flooded with canal waters now stands stripped to the studs. Doors and windows out or open now offering hospitality to the next likely guests, copper thieves who will strip the house further of all its copper pipes.
Now stuctural engineers will inspect the house for soundness (and it will probably pass) and then a new owner for the present one plans to sell will rebuild and renovate and out of death will come new life.
Without faith one might find only despair and devastation here, but with faith one sees resurrection signs everywhere. Faith brings hope that all that has been brought low might be raised up.
