Danny Downs is here this week from Louisville to work on the chapel. This is him (with Roger) on his last visit here:

One of the most recent developments here has been the new staircase that Bruce built. In theory it looks something like this:

I am so grateful for people who do jobs they don’t really like – because they need to be done. This worlds needs more people like that.

I need to be more like that.
