The Church is beginning to take shape, the foundation and wall panels, subfloor and trusses, it is coming to life like Lazarus. The days and nights are beginning to run into each other, fatigue being the most common element between everyone. We go until someone tells us to quit. The sound of generators and compressors hum as the smell of diesel fuel lingers down the street. Give me this, I need more nails, Where's the plumber? Does the j channel face up or down? All immediate questions that need anserwed right now. Beep beep, another load of something is being delivered. It seems as if a symphony of nail guns, drills and compressors are tapping out rythms similar to Japan's kodo drums. Keeping time and never missing a beat. I guess that's how is should always go on a construction project of this magnitude, problem is, this is not an ordinary project. Still 10 hours behind schedule.

hi paige!
enjoying your daily blog so i can keep up w/the progress of the projects.
had hoped to volunteer, but poor timing made it impossible.
when you run into Rick and Debra Strini (they'll be installing another of Rick's incredible chandeliers), please give them my best wishes and love.
praying for good weather for y'all.
Bless you,
