Here is the progress being made on the homes being built behind us... On Wednesday morning the gravel arrived along with the cement blocks for the foundation and the wood for the superstructure. As you can see they've started the walls.
By Thursday evening (below) the work site had changed dramatically and the interior walls have been built defining each basement and the outside wall on the left has grown immensely. You can see the workers in their black hats, blue shirts and beards hustling around to make it happen.
Yesterday was a quiet day for us, but we did get our workouts done at Contours and on the treadmill. We also took long walk together with Bonz. Later we went to Best Buy to get a "Bee Gees" cd. It seems much of their music fits the "Hustle" dance we're learning. Maybe it'll help. While there we saw a guy from Rotary who greeted us and met Dee. (This is the first time we saw anyone we knew out in the community since we moved here. I wondered how long that would take.) We also picked up a cribbage board at Target and took a break from our strenuous day at Starbucks. Dee and I used to play cribbage long ago and really enjoyed it. It'll be nice to get back into doing that again. Later we cheered on West Virginia in the Sweet Sixteen NCAA games. They came so close to winning, but it wasn't to be. Surely a let down for the team.
The image of a house being built provides a good metaphor for the Church. Where it takes a lot of people each doing what they do best to help built it. Each using their "gifts" at the appropriate time in the process, building upon the foundation that has been put in place by others. Together they are creating something that will last a lifetime; will be a blessing to others and will help them fulfill their purpose in life.
