Dirt

It is really early in the morning.  There is a big pile of dirt in my driveway about 41 cubic yards along with 30 pieces of grass sod stacked behind it.  A dump truck dropped these off last Wednesday but there is no religious significance to their presence. My plan was to get my yardman to spread the dirt at the top part of my front lawn (nearest to the house) where the earth is barren that is, without a grass covering.  The earth in this area was eroded by rain due to a lack of grass and large tree roots that are clearly visible above the ground from my two large oak trees.  I want to cover those roots over with my new soil and then plant the new grass sod so that I can have a nice green front lawn. After all the Lord wants me to “lie down in green pastures” not barren ones am I right?  I swear on a stack of bibles that I don’t really talk like this!   This yardman, who usually cuts my grass showed up Thursday, took one look at that pile of dirt and ran saying he’d return on Friday.  Well it’s Saturday and he hasn't returned yet.  I guess he doesn't have the kind of faith that could “move mountains,” but I do.  So I’m just going to have to do the job myself and keep my appointment with a shovel and a sore back.  Please pray for me.
