The topic was chosen because God has laid a solid foundation for his people to
live by. Both General Shale and the Karate five are building on that solid
foundation in the community. I would like to express my thoughts and views
on the past and present relationship with General Shale Company. They have a
mining site in the Sentertown Community, where they dig and remove dirt for
making brick. General Shale has been, and still works with the community and
surrounding communities, supplying help where needed regardless of the size of
the request. I must say even to those that were against them, they never
refused to supply for that need whether the person needed dirt, gravel, brick
chips or whatever was requested. During the holiday season they spread their
Holiday Spirit by distributing food and fruit baskets to the neighbors in the
community. One of the larger contribution they were involved in, was giving a
generous gift to the Church plus allowing the use of their employee and
equipment. Their men moved fences/ trees, land irrigation equipment. They also 
supplied brick for the new construction project for the Sentertown Missionary 
Baptist Church just because they care. To sum it up. I think of the company as 
being a brick, a block of baked clay used in building and when I think about a 
solid brick, I think about strength - a quality of being strong. A solid foundation 
in which one can stand and build on. Showing love to all people.
