 Thankfully Justin took some time off of work to help build his home. The 10 man crew we were expecting....well, that has yet to come to fruition. He and I framed in the floor today and in the afternoon our relief came in the form of Courtney, Kim and Sophie. They saved the day as they put down plastic on part of the crawl space that we had already put support beams in, and they carried all the floor joists! We hadn't installed the plastic because we were waiting on fill which came when we were half done.  There's always something going on around us that we don't think about as "news", or something to report. I tend to report on the "project" even though we repeatedly say "it's about the people, not about the project. As I thought about this I pondered how often we miss God working around us as we focus on the task at hand. It's kinda ironic....my pictures would give away my tendencies toward "the project" if I didn't force myself to take some pics of people. I've even caught myself getting irritated when someone pops up unexpectedly in my project pic. (That was many years ago of course) :/ The photo above tells all kinds of those behind the scenes goings-ons. That's Courtney scolding her dog Reggie who just took a dip in the mud hole dug by her step-dad Lenny with his backhoe which he made because I had gotten his hoe stuck the day before (I was able to push myself out with the loader so I didn't get caught) and the concrete truck had gotten stuck also so Lenny dug the muck out and was replacing it with rocky soil that he got from another hole he was digging to bury some brush and tree debris. All that to say "there is more than meets the eye". "Our battle is not against flesh and blood..."  This was taken at the end of of the day.
Participants were Justin, Courtney, Kim, Sophie and Monte. Comments are closed.
