The week prior to July 14, 2008, the Church Builder group of the Texas Baptist Men Retiree Builders moved into the community of Brashear, Texas near Sulphur Springs to assist the Brashear Baptist Church in the construction of a 16,000 sq ft Family Life Center/Fellowship Hall/Gym/Youth Education Building. 

Al’s truck is a big one. It is an over-the-road Volvo that has been converted into a recreational vehicle. Al and Darlene use it to pull disaster relief units on callouts and to live in while they are out.  They are proud of their big white truck and refer to it affectionately as ‘Hope’.

GALVESTON, Texas - Tropical Storm Edouard hit the Texas Gulf coast with strong winds and heavy rain, but did little more than soak the travelers who came to relax on the tourist town's beaches.
The storm made landfall east of Galveston and west of the Louisiana border, between the small coastal town of High Island and Sabine Pass, and was weakening as it headed inland.
