It wasn't your typical guys' night out, but it was pretty refreshing. Shoveling broken concrete, digging up pavers, and tearing brick walls down may seem like the opposite of fun, but the worst part was actually finding the place, the rest was relatively easy with so many helping hands. I could turn this into a lesson about Nehemiah, but I think I will just leave alone. It was a good time with a great bunch of guys and that is enough. It felt good to do some manual labor after sitting at a desk all day. It felt good watching bricks crumble from the force of sledge hammer. It felt good to lift stones and get my hands dirty. It felt good to work as a team, if only for a few hours, and put our efforts to good use...helping a really cool family out.
