It's been a weird day. This is the main place I have worked for over ten years. I "float" (no jokes please) around to a few other places from time to time, but this is where I have spent many, many hours. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I think there is about 100,000 square feet under this roof. Most of the time, it was close to being full. Probably around 300 truck loads, give or take a few. As you can tell in the picture, it is full no more. Apparently another victim of the economy. I have been working at a different facility for several weeks and knew this day was approaching, but I felt a bit... I don't know. Not sad, just that change is a very real possibility. I never thought I would see that building empty. I mean, a lot of work took place there. It just seemed so integral... Funny how what we think is permanent is not.5/14/09

Funny how I am reading your post after experiencing the same thought earlier today. As I was driving around town this morning, I was looking at a home (out of our price range) for sale, a Jeep, and a bass boat (that I would have no business buying). Just after my next stop, the praise song, "Store up treasures in heaven" came on the radio. As I sang along with it repeating the chorus, I began to thank God for all He has provided for me. . . not all the worldly treasures that I desire, but a wife and daughter who know Christ. I am also part of a ministry that has blessed me time and time again. Thanks to God for helping reinforce my faith this morning!!
