A very key point lost in some of the shuffle.....

 

 

We had a chance to sit down with Marion while her original house was being demolshed. She was understandably bitter towards the "scumbag" contractors, and maybe others, in general. She told me that though she was a church going woman, she didn't have the ability to forgive the contractors who took her money. Because of this she didn't feel qualified to attend church since.

 

We told her that we were honored to be working to get her back into her home. Then I said, "Marion, you not only need to forgive them, you need to thank the Lord for them." She thought I was crazy. I told her that because of their unforgivable act, Dr Phil stepped in and put his resources, The DIY Network and Paul Davis Restoration/Boyle's Furniture into action. Now, Marion Camp has a brand new house!

 

Don't get me wrong, "scumbag" contractors need to be taken out. But, at the same time when we all follow the lead to take care of the widows and the orphans, we all win.

 

God Bless You, Marion. God Bless the rebuilders.

forgiveness is power,but that's a hard fact to learn. Sometimes holding on to anger seems so sweet but it's poison. I was homeless last year primarily due to one person. I was so angry,it took alot of prayer. This year I'm sending him a Christmas card thanking him because I have it so much better now

I just watched the show and from the pictures, it looks like y'all did an amazing job on this house!  I happen to know that Paul Davis Restoration is based in Amarillo, TX, and for you to be in New Orleans helping these people is just awesome!
