Here is another picture that is close up. Some of the rocks are small and some are larger, weighing over 10-15 pounds, but none of the rocks indicated the beauty to be found inside this place of worship. In fact, without the signs, it didn’t look like a church and the appearance no doubt turned a number of people away.
Following Jim’s example, I prayed over every step and the first step was to remove the rocks. I did this by using a wheelbarrow and good, old-fashioned elbow grease. It took me a couple of weeks to remove all of the rocks and countless wheelbarrow loads. I later guessed that I ended up moving in excess of 3 1/2 tons of river rocks.
The next step was to remove all of the weeds. That took as much time because the weeds were well-established. Still, the weeds needed to be removed before I could plant anything and I wanted to at least get something growing there that was pretty.
