i had planned to spend the weekend painting again, but what with the work night, i didn't think i'd have time to do much. i started another mixed media project and had to put it on hold as i headed down to the church to work my muscles. i started out the evening moving about a hundred chairs from a Sunday school room so the carpets could be ripped up. muscles, check. then, i got drafted into painting. so i did get to spend the day painting after all!
we meet in a decently old building with lots of beautiful wood accents and old things and interesting nooks and crannies. except some of the wood, not so beautiful. because it's wood paneling. and it looks like it's from the eighties. so we painted over it. being reasonably familiar with cutting in and trim work, i was given a brush and a bucket and told to have at it. three hours later, i was still perched in one of those crannies, a window sill, cutting in around the plethora of corners that no window should have.
but the evening was fun, and well-spent. i really enjoyed being able to do something for this church i have come to love. i became a member at the beginning of this month, and really love the people there. it was fun getting to know some new faces and work alongside one of my pastors as we painted. it really was a blessing to give back to the church i love. i recommend it to everyone!

Hey! I like the way you write. :o) Great word usage!! And thanks so much for helping to make our church more attractive. Poor building is definitely due for a face-lift.
