from on top of the roof . . .
We had an awfully good work crew out at the Habitat site this morning. I got there around 6:45, and we were able to put a crew to work by 7. By the time it was all said and done, I believe 15 or 16 had stopped by to work - most of them for better than 5 hours. We decked the roof, and felted about half the house - not bad, considering the heat after 9:30. It sure looked good from up there on the roof.Habitat is a wonderful ministry. This is home #7 for me - and we're getting better at making things work. Most of the summer has been a drag - we've had a lot of difficulty getting larger groups out to the site. But this morning re-proved why groups work better. We got a lot of work done in a relatively short amount of time. You walk away from these events with a really good, tired feeling.
There is always more to do - we have two houses in process right now. There are families to find for the houses, groups to be recruited, monies to be raised - never a shortage of things to do. But I think this ministry has me hooked - for life.
