Pretty early on in our church's story, we made the decision to finish the basement of our house, creating a suite of offices, rather than rent office space elsewhere at NY rates. That decision has saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars over the past ten years.It also means that every time some new piece of equipment is ordered, the UPS man brings it to our door - and the poor guy is working overtime right now. Todays offering was eight packages containing the rolling racks we will use for storing some of our equipment in Mastic.
The accumulating mass of essentials for the new campus presents one minor problem - it is threatening to force my Mustang out of the garage.
Like many Americans, we have a two car garage that holds one car and an amazing assortment of junk. The junk side was pretty much full before all this stuff started arriving, so today I had to move a load of miscellanous rubbish around to get the latest arrivals in.
Four weeks to go, but I'm nervous that the other half of my garage may no longer be safe. I understand the necessity for sacrifice, but there are limits.
