Both
Sides
of
The
Lock
…
“I
love
It
When
A
Plan
Comes
Together”
These
were
the
immortal
words
of
Col.
John
“Hannibal”
Smith,
the
rough
and
tumble
character
of
the
A
Team
television
series.
(1983
–
1987,
98
episodes)
George
Peppard
played
the
role
of
a
former
military
Colonel
falsely
accused
of
wrong
doings.
He
and
his
cast
of
characters
traveled
the
country
righting
wrongs
for
innocent
people
while
staying
just
ahead
of
those
bound
to
capture
them.
Somehow,
the
A
Team
always
won
and
not
a
single
person
in
the
group
was
ever
hurt!
I
guess
The
A
Team
just
had
the
nerve
to
step
out
and
step
up
for
a
good
cause
even
though
it
was
a
fictional
story.
So
it
was
this
Saturday
past!
For
several
months
another
specially
prepared
meal
for
some
folks
in
a
difficult
situation
had
been
planned.
Volunteers
planned
and
thought
and
set
aside
resources
and
time
long
before
the
first
aromas
of
a
meal
stirred.
Hot,
hard
work
seemed
to
slow
no
one;
it
just
took
a
bit
more
time
than
normal
to
wipe
the
sweat,
as
it
was
some
kind
of
hot
Saturday
last!
At
the
93rd
of
105
packed
meals
a
faint
voice
called
from
the
assembly
line
of
food
packers.
“We’re
out
of
Baked
Beans”!
No
one…
was
going
to
get
shorted
their
due
portion
of
Baked
Beans
on
this
shift!
An
emergency
run
to
the
local
market,
a
few
ingredients
mixed
in
a
huge
skillet
and
we
were
back
in
business
and
we
delivered
all
105
meals,
soft
drinks,
home
made,
(individually
wrapped)
brownies
and
a
serving
of
hard
frozen
ice
cream,
ahead
of
schedule
all
before
4:00
PM.
“I
Love
It
When
A
Plan
Comes
Together”!
Those
of
you
that
had
any
part
at
all
in
this
work:
THANK
YOU.
You
helped
bring
smiles
to
faces
that
most
days
don’t
have
reason
to
smile.
Being
on
the
backside
of
a
locked
door
takes
away
more
than
one
can
ever
imagine.
One
fellow
said
while
incarcerated
in
another
state
that
he
personally
did
not
have
a
cube
of
ice
for
over
a
year
and
a
half.
I’m
sorry
we
have
to
lock
folks
up
but
I
guess
it’s
part
of
mankind;
God
gives
us
all
the
ability
to
make
choices.
Hopefully
those
we
fed
this
Saturday
past
will
be
influenced
to
make
better
choices;
they
won’t
forget
that
some
folks
from
the
Church
of
Christ
were
nice
to
them.
Thank
you,
to
the
volunteers
from
Fairfield
for
preparing
and
delivering
some
great
potato
salad
and
others
that
came
all
the
way
from
Salem
Church
in
Lewis
County
just
to
help.
See
Matthew
Chapter
25
for
details
and
as
always,
To
God
Be
The
Glory,
On
Both
Sides
Of
The
Lock.
