Ready, Set, ...

Almost Go! The preparations for the barn raising are all in place. The barn has been sited (thanks to my Pastor and oldest son), materials are on site and the barn dance has been scheduled for Thursday evening. A couple of local families who have become good friends and with whom we enjoy truly edifying fellowship are coming over Saturday to help us get a jump on the construction. We hope to get several if not all the poles set. In order to speed up this process, I will be borrowing a tractor auger from a buddy after work this afternoon.

Our friends from Georgia will begin arriving Monday afternoon. By mid-week we hope to be hosting around thirty or so enthusiastic brothers and sisters in the Lord – all here to encourage and help and exhort. We are truly blessed.

We have been hoping and planning for opportunities to practice the “one another” scriptures in this sort of way for some time now. Maybe, just maybe, with a little deliberateness we can shed some of our rugged individualism in exchange for more interdependence and thereby begin to walk worthy of the vocation wherewith we are called.
