There is something great happening in Yuma! There is a playground being built at a local park. While this might not be groundbreaking news in many places, it is here where parks and rec is not the thriving endeavour as in some other places. Something really cool about this is that it is not just being built, but it is being built almost completely by volunteer labor.

So yesterday I went down there for the afternoon. It was awesome! It was a nice afternoon of drilling, measuring, and hammering...what's not to love about playing with power tools? It's amazing when you are there to see roughly 75 people working together to achieve a common goal. I even saw one of my youth leaving as I was arriving.

So great experience. Check it out.

There isn't much Bible reading that goes on at the site, but there is a spiritual realm of the experience. It's rare to get a group of 75 people together from all walks of life to team together to do something because of love. I think these are the types of community that God enjoys. Not those that want to be right, but those that are rooted in love.
