The Journey is fun

Twice a day I walk with my dog around our church property praying for the future of Washington Cathedral.  We walk to the point of the hill overlooking the construction site and I stand there like I was Moses asking God to bless the battle.  Down below I watch as they are preparing the footings of this incredible sacred building.  We walk down the hill and I pray for those who park so far away from our sanctuary on Sundays and ride the shuttle to worship.  I stand next to the construction site and it all comes alive to me.  Every change no matter how slight is holy to me.  I stand by the steel and I ask God to bless the steel.  I thank God for all the sacrificial gifts that are building the church.  It seems like yesterday that we were breaking ground and there was a mountain there.  This is really fun - God is working and that always has an element of adventure.
