• Pray we get these doors hung by Friday ...

  Please pray for one stupid detail if you would – don’t laugh !! – a good friend who does renovations came over to help me put a pair of doors up into a large opening to shut off my teenage son Thomas’ room so he could have some privacy. He got all the trim off and removed and replaced several frame pieces around the opening, and put the doors into place, and was having some difficulty getting the doors to line up right, when he got a phone call with some bad news and had to abandon the job. He won’t be able to come back and finish it any time soon and suggested I find someone else to finish.

   

  It’s nobody’s fault, of course, and we wouldn’t have started the project if we’d had any idea his emergency would come up. But I don't know how to finish the job. At least not anything near the right way.

   

  I’ve called another friend Kevin who does renovations to try to come finish it before the BBQ but I’m not sure he can get someone here that soon. So pray for that. (Imagine 40 to 60 people over, including young kids, with a set of french doors just off the main entry way just barely hanging on to the wall, and open holes into the walls and stuff … it’s just not safe …. and we’re really hoping it can be at least solidly in place and trimmed out before everyone shows up Friday!)
