Costa Rica – Day Four

7:00 AM
DiscussionOur schedule varied a bit today. We had a great breakfast, then went right into our time reflecting on the idea of God as our Rock. After that quiet time, we headed back to the shop area and framed up an area to be filled with concrete, as well as a sidewalk area. Later in the morning the concrete truck arrived and we poured those two places. I helped with the finishing work using a hand “float.”

12:30 PM
After a lunch break of grilled meats and salsa and guacamole, we worked on framing up additional driveway and sidewalk areas for concrete pouring tomorrow. I did a lot of gravel transportation by wheelbarrow, and helped frame up some of the sidewalk.

5:30 PM
I am now getting cleaned up for supper at 6 PM.

Dinner will be followed by our “Crew Meeting” where we will share our thoughts today on God as our Rock. Which reminds me, I need to find a rock for our meeting tonight! That reminds me of an old Larry Norman song… Jesus is “The Rock that Doesn’t Roll.” And of course, the old hymn, “On Christ the Solid Rock” -

On Christ the Solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

I found these in my iTunes library and listened to them… great songs!
