I just completed my first day of work at the mill and I am exhausted. I worked 8 hours working with an air nailer and stapler (my brothers must be so proud). I get to make, package and wrap big skids of fence parts for most of the day. I actually got to stack big pieces of wood for the last hour. I came home with a pretty nasty looking cut on my forehead from the first 2x4 I touched that fell and split me open.
I am beat and sore, but I definitely thank God for this job. It is real work that will help me get in shape. It is so loud that everyone wears earplugs, so there's not a lot of talking - except during breaks - so I have time alone with my thoughts and can pray as much as I want. Working with wood makes me feel closer to Jesus than sitting in front of a laptop ever could.
And there's not much better after a hard day's work than hugs from my family. Amber and Daniel and Josh all came running when I got home. That made everything melt away.
Please excuse any weird grammar or spelling. I just wanted to get this down.

Nice gash on the forehead! I found a link to your blog from Amber's blog from Jayson's blog and low and behold there you were... I just had to leave a comment.
