Burning calories and making things beautiful

We are almost finished painting this part of the building...
Yesterday afternoon and evening, a group of volunteers from Core Creek Community Church spent some more time painting, patching walls, picking up litter, scraping wallpaper and removing clutter.

My wife decided to do a search to see how many calories we were burning while we painted.  Her research indicated that we are probably burning anywhere between 200 - 400 calories per hour.  I think it was more than that yesterday because we felt like we were literally melting.

It was 93 degrees inside the building...
It was a very warm day.  The inside temperature was 93 degrees in the sanctuary, but we were able to create some air flow which definitely helped a little.  Even though we were drenched in sweat, we had a great time working on the building.  At dinner time, we prayed for the church that will one day meet in this place.  We're looking forward to seeing it filled with people again, someday in the future, and having the privilege of helping people come to faith in Jesus.

On a "sad" or "unfortunate" note, Dylon parked his car out front and while we were working on the building, someone smashed into it then drove off.  We're hoping that the security cameras at the fire station across the street might have caught something.

Dylon's car was damaged by an unknown driver...
We will be getting together again at the end of next week if you want to join us.  In the meantime, thanks for your prayers for us during this stage of replanting the church.


Taking a break at the end of the night to play "hacky-sack" with a sponge
