This past weekend I spent two days riding a jackhammer. In the vernacular of a certain modern movie, jackhammers is da devil!

I’m not much of a fix it guy but as a preacher for a congregation of 400 I know a lot of fix it guys. This allows me to do some work my self with professional supervision. Unfortunately this also allows me to take on jobs that are far beyond my capability. Now your up to date on our current bathroom-remodeling project. It’s way out of my league but now that I spent a weekend busting out a drain line for a new shower I have no choice but to finish this thing.

This is a little like life. You get started on it and you have no choice but to try and see it through. Sometimes you’re riding a jackhammer and sometimes your just cruising along. Sometimes your surrounded by rubble and sometimes everything fits together perfectly. Sometimes your house is covered in dust and sometimes things are nice and clean.

Some how some way there has to be a secret to enjoying the journey? There has to be more then just the thrill of completion. You have to find some pleasure in the work its self. While I never enjoyed that jackhammer I have to say it was good to know I almost burned the thing up!
