CNSTRCTN Vol. XI, # 1 Workers Spring into Action, in the Snow

Memories like birds, fleeting.  They must be grasped and held in heart's hands.

We will start this second week of April noting that, during this past week with the students on holiday, the workmen were able to accomplish much.  These photos won't tell the whole story because of blogger's restricted access.  We'll begin with an outside look into the work yard with a heartening thought, blogger is supposing:
to wit, aren't you glad your yard doesn't look like this?  It's the little things in life...




At the other end of the yard full of stuff which you're glad you don't have to deal with, there is more progress in the offing.  The scaffolding is near the newest addition of masonry going toward the soccer field.  It won't go farther, blogger is thinking, because there is still so much going and coming of large pieces of equipment needed inside the extended part of the chapel.  That new section of wall whispers of hope.



Now to the inside with a few interesting elements of progress and one lingering reminder of what used to be.  We'll look at that first. What you see in this photo (enlarge it for better effect) is a cut-away of the old wall that used to be outside the president's office.  Sturdy piece of construction.  It occupies the middle of the photo and is, as you can see, layers wide.





       This photo is placed here just to show that there is still some serious work to be done in the CLC




As new doors are opened, old ones are closed permanently.  In this case it is the former outside door of the faculty room.




And just to emphasize that the faculty members will still be able to leave the building conveniently, here is the new door opening to replace the one just closed off.  Don't they think of everything!
We move now into the end of the big week of Easter celebration to the less spectacular, but still celebratory, Easter season.  May your Easter season bring daily reminders of the blessings of God's incarnation.  How so?  Today is the feast of the Annunciation, postponed because Mar. 25, the real day (--nine months before Christmas) landed on Palm Sunday.  So there you have it.  It's a very nice way to start celebrating the Easter season.                                                  Stay tuned.
