"I can very honestly state there is no way I could have built these doors as well, or for the same amount. That isn't to say the doors were cheap - they were just less with shipping than getting them built locally."

"Received the doors. They're big, they're beautiful, and they're heavy as can be. Everything's great. We unpackaged them & we have them out in the garage right now; they'll be hung on Monday. So again, thank you, thank you very much. It's beautiful work. I love everything about them. I was going to paint them, but I think I'm going to end up staining them now, they're so gorgeous."

Good doors make good neighbors

The old saying is “good fences make good neighbors”. It’s based on the idea that establishing firm and unambiguous boundaries decreases the chance of disputes.

Okay. True.

But isn’t there something more to being a neighbor than avoiding disputes? The story of the Good Samaritan in the Bible asks the question “Who was a neighbor to the man left for dead?” Being neighborly is more than standing on your side of the fence and minding your own business.

I think the saying should be “good doors make good neighbors”. Doors are a boundary. They have locks to keep out enemies or unwelcome influences. They give you a way of having your space and your time. But they also swing open to invite and welcome others in.

That’s what a neighbor does. Connecting with others happens through reaching out of our own private space and inviting others into it.

To do that requires a door. Invite somebody through yours today.
