Downtown Habitat House Build Is Going Extremely Well!
We are already heading into week four of the building phase of our Downtown Churches Habitat Build. Our next scheduled day to work at the Habitat House is Tuesday, July 8th, and Fifth Avenue is scheduled to be the laborers on this day. Please call Cyndy Hardwick or Hubert Harvey if you can be there for this day’s work. We need to finish the front porch and finish shingling the roof. The building phase has gone incredibly smooth.
Please note that you can work any day Tuesday through Saturday, 9:30 until 4:30. The address is 1948 Artisan Avenue. You must sign in when you work, but other than that just bring your work gloves and have fun.

Along the Journey...Redeeming the Time
Do you remember the days before you could microwave and enjoy a meal on the table in just a few minutes?
What about the time before drive-through restaurants, when no one would think it possible to roll down your car window, speak into a box, order a meal, and pick it up within seconds, never leaving your car?
Do you remember when you had to “catch people at home” to talk to them on the telephone, never imagining that one day people would walk around with phones in their pockets?
How about the pre-computer era when you could not “Google” and find 17,000,000 references to your search in 0.18 seconds?
One would think that all of these “time-savers” would free our schedules.
I found the following words challenging: “There’s nothing wrong with microwaves or mobile phones – they save time. But God will ask you what you have done with the time that was saved” (Ruwais el-Anthony, [Reuters], as quoted in The Christian Century, July 1, 2008, Vol. 125, No. 13, p. 9).
I’ve kept the article short this week…so that you have more time…
Blessings,
Allen Reasons
