Today we are preparing for what has to be one of the biggest beat downs known to humanity.  I know some people really enjoy it, and live for the moment, but as for me and my house, not so much.

I'm referring, of course, to the dreaded GARAGE SALE!

I have to say that I believe this was a technique invented during the cold war as a means for interrogating suspected enemy spies.  "You better tell us, or tomorrow morning we'll make you set up and operate a garage sale for 8 hours straight!  Not only that, but you'll have to go through the entire house the rest of today, figure out which items to sell, and PRICE THEM ALL!"

Somebody just put me out of my misery.  Oh well, at least the kids will have fun......???  What's that complaining I hear?

At least so far I've only done one major piece of damage.  I pulled the garage door support brace out of the ceiling by tying a rope from brace to brace, and hanging clothes on the rope.  One trip to Lowe's down, many more to come, I'm sure.

If I'm not at church Sunday, those of you from HCC will know why.

My friend, Scott, passed away today at 2:15 p.m.  He leaves behind his wife, Sharon, and their kids Sarah and David.  Scott and I played basketball together at DCC.

It was a blessing to see you finish strong, Scott.  I pray I can finish with as much grace.

Save us a seat,

B

“And as [Aslan] spoke, He no longer looked to them like a lion; but the things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write them. And for us this is the end of all the stories, and we can most truly say that they all lived happily ever after. But for them it was only the beginning of the real story. All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.” (The Chronicles of Narnia, The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis)
