In the play A Raisin in the Sun, the character Joseph Asagai is a PhD student from Nigeria.  Ever the optimist, he goes over the Younger’s home and finds them in the midst of moving and states, “I love the look of packing crates.  The sight of a household in preparation.  Movement.  Progress.  That makes me think of Africa.”

A Raisin in the Sun being my favorite play, there are not too many days in which I don’t think of some quote or scene from it.  Today I am trying to remind myself that moving is good.  In the midst of boxes full of books and empty bookshelves that need filling, I am trying to be the optimist like Asagai and remember that moving to East Point is progress in the vision that is East Point Church.  It just seems that today, I am not making much progress.  Where is Mr. Asagai when you need him?
