THE CEMENT IS BEING POURED....

OR AT LEAST IT WAS STARTED YESTERDAY.  I LOVE THE VIEW OUT OF SHANNON'S BACKYARD.  NO HOUSES, JUST MOUNTAINS!

ALSO...TODAY SHAD IS SPEAKING AT THE FUNERAL FOR AL JAY BOYTER.  THEY HAVE BEEN FAMILY FRIENDS SINCE I CAN REMEMBER.  SHAD TAUGHT HIM IN YOUNG MEN'S.  HIS DEATH WAS SUDDEN AND HIS CHILDREN ARE REALLY STRUGGLING.  A COUPLE OF HIS SISTERS TOLD BISHOP DWAYNE THEY DIDN'T WANT HIM TO PREACH THE GOSPEL....SHAD TOLD HIM TO DO HIS JOB...AND HE WILL FOLLOW SHAD SO SHAD CAN "PREACH IT" FIRST.  I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DON'T REALIZE THAT THE GOSPEL IS A COMFORT.
