Three and a half years since
Images like this fascinate me. I am proud of myself for the work I did constructing this wall. I hope it stands the test of time and outlives me. But more than that the images go in through my eyes into my brain and some feel-good center in my brain is stimulated. I feel the anxiety overridden temporarily.
This prods my desire to do more, to do better, to do something for Becky and me that is strong and lasting and of worth. Something the sight of which stimulates gladness in the human heart and brings comfort. Something that will stand as a guide and testament to faith and persistence to our offspring and others that will follow after we are gone.
