Ain't it purty?
Dirt is not often described as "pretty", but I think this pile of dirt qualifies. The job of filling in the space that will be the pad for the new building has been completed. Later, fill dirt for parking areas will be added, but the space for the new church building is ready for the next step, the pouring of the slab.
This view shows how much higher the final grade is above the surrounding land. This will give our new building the protection it needs should Richland Creek ever get out of its banks during a severe storm. No more soaked carpets for us!
Construction sites are usually a "hard hat zone", and the new church site is no different. Besides the usual construction site hazards, the church site is routinely shelled with balls from the nearby driving range. (Yes, those are golf balls you see in this photo looking in the direction of the driving range.) Of course, that problem will be corrected long before the building is completed, but consider this: Hundreds of years from now, future archeologists will no doubt be puzzled by the presence of golf balls as they sift through the dirt of what they thought was the site of an old church. Let them figure it out!

John, this is getting very exciting. The site looks just perfect. I love the part about the golf balls. It sets a funny senerio in my head.
