Week 27 - Pathways

This week's progress on the new Parish Center brings to mind the importance of having clear paths available to us.

For our project, this means the addition of drywall to the offices and the primary office hallway, providing a clear pathway to the parish staff's offices. It also means the installation of our electric meter and fire department water hookup -- clear pathways for the delivery of electricity and water to the areas they are needed.

By way of contrast, a couple other portions of the project have encountered obstacles in their paths, including the disposition of the old fuel tanks and tackling the early availability of the furniture we have ordered for the building. In both cases, the problems could have been much worse, so we are grateful they are at least manageable within our resources.

As we zoom through fall, the nights start earlier, and for me this means the pictures for the album are now taken primarily in the evening. This makes the path to a weekly update a little more difficult, but at the same time provide unique opportunities, like this shot of the front of the church with the twilight sky behind.

It's a decent reminder that though the path through life may sometimes get more difficult, there are plenty of blessings to be found and celebrated!
