The Browning's
 
Ah Progress, oh it feels so good.  I have been dreaming of these days for so long.  Like most men, I need something to work on.  I think we all experience this in one way or another.  Some men want to work with their hands, some want to work on their computer, and some waste their time working on a new high score on their video games.  But this desire is inside all men, we want to accomplish something.  Working in the building this week brought that emotion out for me.  Most of you know, I am not a very handy person.  The common joke is that I only know how to work a hammer and a piece of rope.

Even with my lack of ability, I could feel the excitement welling up in my soul to experience accomplishment.  It is thrilling to know that we have many more days to experience this comradery together.  Over the last two days a team of about 15 volunteers painted the beams inside our church. (Make sure to check out pictures of our work weekend and the building's progress at re-built.org). To some, this may seem like a slightly insignificant task.  On the contrary, this action item will allow for our installer to run our insulation and it also allows for the HVAC company to install our air condition system.  This weekend really helped us continue to move the ball down the field.

As we worked, our contractor had a team laying our plumbing followed by the pouring of concrete. Now that these two items have been completed, the remainder of our wall studs can now be raised. Once the walls are up we can run our data cabling, which is next weekend's task. John Mills will be leading this team who will be working Thursday-Saturday.  We are also now gathering materials for our stage and riser system; our next big projects.  So get your hammers out, your work gloves on, and let's get ready to do this job.  We need all of you to help.  Painting walls is coming soon and we are going to have some very tall walls.  So excited and I hope you are too!
