I learned yesterday that the total number in the group is fifty-five. That's about ten more than I first thought. Getting that many men - many of whom know or think they know a lot about construction - all moving in the right direction is an amazing accomplishment. Fairview Loop Baptist Church has one man, Wes, who is in charge of the project. Our group has three "white hats" or crew leaders that serve as next-level managers. Most of the fifty-five work under these three men. A few of us are doing special projects like painting or picnic table building.
When I needed a break from painting I strolled over to the slab to watch. Just like on Monday, I saw the Cross Road guys working. With a crowd that big, a lot of guys are standing around a lot of the time. Our guys were working. Happy to see that and not at all surprised!
God is really at work in the midst of all this. We've had no lost time accidents. The pace of work is phenomenal. Men are getting to know one another. Christian music is playing on the site. Most egos are checked at the door.
My hometown newspaper would have written, "A good time was had by all."
