I love weekend projects.

There are very few finish lines in ministry. Very few things you get to check off and say, “That’s finished.”

So when I get a chance to build something or plant something I jump at it because it gives me incredible satisfaction to look back and say, “Look at that. I built that. I did that. Now, it’s finished.”

So this weekend my partner in crime, Blake Bergrstrom, came over and in one of the most amazing, seamless partnerships in construction history we built a fence to go around my garden which was destroyed by dogs and rabbits last year.

I also must confess that my oldest son, Jett, played a pivotal part. Toward the end he looked up at me and said, “Dad, seriously, this is the best project we’ve ever done together.” Man, that melted me.  So here we go…. It’s going to be one heck of a garden this year. Beat THAT Martha Stewart!!
