Gather Little by Little

Photo by: Mimi Tang

For the first time in quit a few weeks I really struggled with what to write for this section. I usually write about something exciting or interesting in my personal life, some major news topic, or about my “real job”. This week though, nothing really happened all that interesting. To be honest though, this is a good thing. We’ve been spending a great deal of time outside as a familyglb working in our yard, playing basketball, throwing the football and just enjoying the wonderful weather here in the Carolinas.

About the only real interesting thing I have to share is that we’re still waiting on that house we found. Two offers have been made against it, one Fannie Mae declined, the other was made just two days ago is still pending. Once those are gone, I’ll have some estimates done along with an inspection and then we’ll decide if we want to make an offer. We’re being smart about this and leaving it in God’s hands.  If it works out great, if not, another one will come along.

Important Stuff

• Please keep Pete from Bible Money Matters and his wife in your thoughts and prayers. His wife has a very large blood clot in her leg. She is a great deal of pain and in the hospital.
• Seems I won a contest! Kacie from Sense to Save held a huge Entrecard contest and while I was the grand prize winner, I did win 248 Entrecard credits under the Men’s Interest category!
