| Hooking up the top of the steeple for "liftoff" ! Double Click Images to Enlarge |
Yesterday Clint and I went to Christ United Methodist Church to view the raising and placement of the steeple on the new sanctuary. We joined this Plano, TX, church a few months after we moved here. We were there at 1:00 PM but the event was postponed because of blustery winds.

The raising was rescheduled to 8:00 AM this morning. We arrived not long after 7:30 AM and found what we thought was the best viewing location. It truly was a special event. I was able to sign the cross along with other members before the cross was erected last atop the steeple.

There was some wind to contend with ... Notice the worker at the base of the steeple, he had crawled out of the hole as I was making the photo!    Luke 2:14 |

Very good pictures that you took...
Not only the wind troubled the men, but it
was quite a hard job for all of them!!
