yesterday was awesome.
i went on a habitat workday and it was soo fun. the house was a three story duplex that had only simple framing and a roof up. I got to put exterior insulation on the side of the house. we were on this shaky ass scaffolding up thirty feet nailing this blue insulation to the walls. we put a window in too. later we had to carry shingles up to the roof. the shingles came in packages that weighed like 60 pounds each and we had to carry them up this wobbley ladder . we jimmy-rigged a rope and had three guys up on the roof in tug of war formation hauling these packages up the ladder onto the roof. it looked like something out of the ten commandments. like we were building a pyramid or hoisting the mainsail. it was so cool.
then some of us hung out for a while afterwards. i got to know a kid in my classes. he's cool. he lived in germany for a year kind of like george in japan.
later i hung out with lee and bobby and jay and amanda. we all played family business, sorry and watched the ali g show. "she look at 'is face.. nice. she look at 'is bling.. nice. she look at 'is dong.. very nice.... bzzz bzzz"
then bobby started asking some killer questions and we had a three hour talk about christianity and it was awesome.
God is great.
the earth cries out his love
