6:00 AM
The alarm rings. We get ready for a quick breakfast before the concrete truck arrives! I also eat “monkey brains” at breakfast!
7:00 AM
We are busy getting forms and areas ready for fresh concrete. I spend the morning floating and edging new concrete driveway and walkway sections.
11:30 AM
We break from work. I jumped in the pool and swam a few laps to cool off! Felt great!. Then I spent some time reflecting on Jesus as our Chief Cornerstone – Ephesians 2:20 – and drew a picture to illustrate my thoughts.
12:30 PM
We gather or lunch at the Casa Grande.
1:30 PM
We work on framing up additional sidewalks and another section of driveway. We clear out areas we are done with, and fill in gravel. I “marked” our sections of concrete with a cross and then Calvary 07 – as has become my expected job. While working, I had a nice chance to talk with Bob about the future direction of Calvary and where God is leading him and us as a church.
4:00 PM
We take a break and have ice cream sandwiches – they tasted great!
4:30 PM
We work on framing up a circular section of the driveway. We end by leaving one section of ripped 1×4 soaking in water in a drain overnight to soften up. We hope this will enable us to bend it easier and stake it in place tomorrow.
5:15 PM
Time to clean up for dinner and our evening crew meeting. I need a shower!
