Well, this is a picture of the one thing that is currently right in my life, my repaired bridge.  It was a big job and it is finished, but as I feared yesterday, YES….the waterproofing contractors begin work in the morning.  And in addition to that, we (my staff and I) had to pull off a bit of maneuvering in terms of the schedule to make Holy Week appear seamless.

SO tomorrow morning, instead of hitting bootcamp before I head into a day of two different services, I instead will miss it and bring a ton of workers and equipment into my house…..again.  Believe me, this is far better than years that we have had a crisis in the church such as a serious illness or a death, but it is stressful nonetheless.  And I want to thank my wife at this point for convincing us to not have more children, AND for not killing me.

But all in all, things are going pretty smooth.  We are our OWN contractors at St. Patrick’s and thanks to Dave and Marsha Dragoo who met Amanda and I there tonight, the work there is almost finished.  And we have just eight more services to move through before being able to celebrate Easter. (They are ALL IMPORTANT ONES…attend one near YOU!)

But for now it is off to bed.  I am tired, but always am during this week.  Yet I thank God for these added stressors as they are just things, and not painful or traumatic to any people.  They too will pass.  And on a week upon which we contemplate what Jesus has done, all of it pales in comparison.

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
