It's A House!

From a mere slab to a sheer beauty in 2 1/2 months. What fun it has been to chronicle the gestation of the Sleepy Spring house.

The exterior is now complete and the work has moved to the inside. Friends either tell them, "Now comes the slow part." Or, "It will just fly by now." The good news is ----- one is right!

The addition of the keystones gives it a very finished look. The angles and proportions are exactly to scale and represent the builder's vision perfectly.

Of course, I thought about the spiritual implications. :)

We have a heavenly builder who has laid out the plans for us. He has designed the angles of our experience to meet His expectations and to form us according to His drawings.

Somewhere along we start to look "finished." But, oh, that is when the inside work really begins. He isn't dealing with the outside (and all its obvious failings) as much as the work on the inside. The finish Carpenter begins.

During this process I have often thought of the words of Jesus, "I go to prepare a place for you." How fulfilling it must be for Mike the contractor to know he is preparing a place for Mary Helen and Smith to enjoy. And just think of the enormous joy we will have in the presence of Jesus when we share His house eternally. Cool!
