Wellman Pet (L1/P3) Expansion
-Pearl River, MS
Good progress continues to be made in all phases of the
project. Engineering, with the exception of turnover packages
and miscellaneous items, is complete. All equipment is set
with large bore pipe installation, 16 inch and larger, 85%
complete. Construction has started railroad modifications
and the electrical building is 90% complete. Pipe fabrication
has been completed for the SSP, and the last shipments have
been dispatched. Fabrication for the convey area has started
and will continue, along with the L area piping. The schedule
took a hit recently due mainly to Hurricane Dennis. Lauren
is in the process of coming up with a plan to mitigate the
delays that have been experienced.
Lauren has currently spent 88,552 man-hours (through 7/15/05)
and Lauren subcontractors have spent 8,936 man-hours (through
7/15/05) with one (1) recordable and zero (0) lost time
accidents to date.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Do you ever wish that you were in charge and that life would
go according to our plans? I know I do, but the truth is life
is unpredictable, things are not always what they seem, and the
One who is in charge does not act and think like I do. One thing
seems (to me) certain to succeed and instead it is an utter failure.
Success of another seems highly improbable and it is a huge success.
Disappointment come when celebration is anticipated. Blessings
are received when hardship is feared. An attractive opportunity
is pursued for months, or even years, with no result, while another
unexpected appears immediately producing fruit.
In the April publication of the Lauren Lantern, I shared a passage
from Isaiah that challenges us to prepare for more responsibility
and greater blessing. I stated that to do so would require us
to exercise faith and may create a ‘crisis of belief’.
Indeed, recent events have confirmed the importance of [trusting
in the Lord with all our hearts and leaning not on our own understanding.]
1 Work that I thought we would get, we lost. Anticipated transactions
did not come to fruition. Unexpected opportunities have materialized
which hold great promise. In reflection, all that has transpired
is working for our good but it is also challenging our faith.
The Bible tells us that [without faith it is impossible to please
God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists
and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.] 2 Only by faith
can we more forward and discover God’s plans.
Jesus tells two parables in Matthew, Chapter 25 that have application
for us. They are parables of stewardship. They teach what a good
steward does while waiting on the Lord. They also tell the consequences
of not acting wisely and being unprepared for the unexpected.
These parables are know as the Parable of the Ten Virgins and
the Parable of the Talents and I encourage you to read them if
you have not done so recently. The reward for those who by faith
diligently prepared for the future is summed up in “well
done good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in a few
things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share
your Master’s happiness.” 3 The consequences for those
who do not is “throw that worthless servant outside, into
the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
4
My hope is that each of us will reflect on the encouragements
of Isaiah and the admonitions of Jesus, carefully considering
how they apply to us. I also hope that everyone will take the
time to reflect on what is taking place and as a team, collectively
process current events so that we may properly discern God’s
plans and purposes for us.
Blessings,
Cleve
