It's been a couple of weeks since I've updated this blog (and others) and as I've mentioned elsewhere, life has been a something of a whirlwind. The biggest update to give is that this coming Saturday (the 10th of September, 2011) SENH - Habitat for Humanity will be dedicating Farmington Unit B for habitation. It has been more than just a few Saturdays here and there. People have been putting in extra hours on weekdays even working on Labor Day.
And, finally, at last this day is here.
My honor is thrice-fold:
(1) I've been asked to be a part of the dedication ceremony. I will be performing a prayer on the gathering and a blessing on the house.
(2) I've completed, as far as able, my self imposed vow to be a consistent part of the building of Farmington. Unit B is, at this time, very nearly completed with just some finishing to do. Unit A should not take us more than a month more. Now I can possibly get involved in some of the more egotistically rewarding projects. (Actually, the truss raising was!)
(3) I'll not go into the reasons behind this particular situation I had found myself in let us just say that this year I have come out of a fairly intensive social isolation. SENH - Habitat for Humanity has expanded my local social network by several magnitudes. This would normally be of some discomfort to me but unprecedentedly the quality of the people add in such quantity has been beyond my most sincere prayers.
My life is not perfect but with the love of my wife, the strength of our relationship, and the ongoing blessings she and I continue to enjoy I could have wished for no more. However the Lord has decided to overfill my cup and it would be churlish of me to deny my delight in his blessings.
