What have I been learning over the past three days?

I have learned a ridiculous amount from observation and experience over these past three days.
There's been leadership lessons, lessons on human nature, lessons on crisis care, and plenty of other topics.

If I could sum up a few of the thoughts I've had in this...

• Watching as people come and drop off donated items, you can get a pretty clear view into their heart.
• Even when somebody has lost everything, the first and most important thing you can offer them is a smile and a listening ear.
• It is possible to have your desire to help overshadow and get in the way of those who need to be helped.
• Patience is absolutely key in assisting with relief efforts.
• Disaster relief is an unbelievably fluid venture.
  
• Sometimes your best leadership move is to catch that you're in over your head, and turn to those who can help you.
• My wife is made for disaster and crisis work. She's been unbelievable.
• My Senior Pastor is an amazing man of God.
