Well, this is embarrassing. There is a saying I usually go by, ”Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance.” After starting “My Box” I went to a local funeral home and found out the dimensions required for a cremation urn. Yep, too small. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Hopefully the friend I’ll give the box to wont find out it was suppose to be my final resting place. ;)
I just wanted to give an update to my Buddies. The last surgery I had several weeks ago really knocked the sawdust out of me. But, thank God I feel better today. If I can preach this morning I should be able to restart “My Box”. I also have a few unfinished small projects that I hope to have energy to finish.
Woodworking is still good therapy and motivates me to be active.
I hope you all had a great and blessed Christmas. May the New Year be full of the Joy of the Lord for you all.
-- I thank God for everything, especially all of you!

I feel bad for not mentioning something. Our funeral home gave me a plastic box that they get from the crematory with the remains in it. So I just built mine around that box. I guess its not the worst thing that is ever going to happen to us.

You have a great attitude and fighting spirit. All will be fine. There is a reason you were attracted to your woodworking therapy.
