update

Since we were not in church last week (except for the elders meeting on Sunday night) this was the first time we had attended service when we knew for sure our pastor was not returning. I tried hard to focus on the Lord and worship Him. It was not as sad as I thought it would be but next Sunday is their Thank-You dinner after third service and I know it will be so sad that a part of me wants to avoid it. Perhaps that is selfish?? Paul and his son dug out for the cement to be placed for the entrance to the room yesterday. The electrical inspection is in the morning and then the two of them will begin drywall if the electrical inspection passes. Tomorrow is my birthday and to have them starting drywall is a neat gift because I have felt that once the drywall got started, we were close to getting finished. I also look forward to seeing the decorative part (painting). Mark painted the inside wall in the kitchen today. His mom and Ike gave me a gift certificate to Ryan's for my birthday and we had lunch there after church.
