This afternoon they started laying the carpet tiles in the commons and main hallway. This work started because all of the broadloom carpet has been laid (in all the office and classroom spaces). The carpet is going in at an unbelievable speed. I talked with the head installer this afternoon and he says they plan to be finished with the carpet installation on Saturday.The carpet tiles are beautiful (three different colors on the 1/4 turn with a very nice pattern). This is one of those moments when the building really starts to pull together (light fixtures, paint colors, trim, and door finishes). The color committee (along with the architect) have really done a wonderful job (yes, my wife was on the committee; no, she didn't pay me to say it, nor will it earn me any brownie points at home).
As I watched them I started to think about all the things that will take place in this new space: wedding receptions, anniversary dinners, school concerts, funeral luncheons, etc. The Lord has certainly blessed us these past years. Our decision to stay has kindled in us a deep desire to share the gospel from this place to the very ends of the earth. May the improvements to our earthly home reflect our work in the kingdom that will reap rewards in our heavenly mansion.

It has been a great pleasure to watch your progress, even as we are about to embark upon our own project. Ours will not be on the same scale as yours, but like yours, it will be to God's glory and will assist us in doing His work here in the Hoosier state. Incidentally, be careful how you speak of your wife. She is your greatest asset.
