Maybe it’ll never happen.
Kids and I went over to our new church property to look at the runoff management. The building committee chairman was pretty grouchy about how much it cost - mandated by the county - but it looks like it worked really well to retain water and keep construction sediment out of the waterways.
Once the construction is done, it can be more landscaped, and the environmental committee can attract waterfowl and stuff.
The new church is a rectangular cleared spot occupied by a bulldozer, but it’s something. Jim says we’ll have Mass there by the end of the year even if we’re standing up and holding flashlights!
Francis Chan and his Church were working on a $25M building project when he went to India and saw what poverty was.
He came back and told his Church there was no way they needed to spend $25M on a building when there was such poverty in the world. He said, “We’re in Southern California! We can meet outside. We can hold umbrellas if it rains.
Eventually he and the congregation parted ways.
I think she’s stayed with him this long because she hoped he would propose. There’s no reason now for her to think it won’t take place, so she’ll be giddy until the “next time.” Unngh.
It would seem to me that runoff management on a property that will soon house a new building and all the attendant facilities would be of prime importance in an area such as that.
It will be nice to get updates!
Oh, crikey, I’m cold. I have been for the last few days and I’m also getting very tired. I think the last few months are finally catching up with me. But I’ll “sojer on,” as my nephew said. ;o]
I really like the work FS did in the bathroom today. It now looks like a real bathroom! Mostly. He’s going to put something else in there at the wall end so I can hopefully move the little bookcase that is doubling as a shelf. If I’m going to live here, I want it to be MY place.
