HOUSE


Michelle and I have been looking for a house in a neighborhood that is meaningful to us for many reasons. Many of you that know us, know that our desire is to live somewhere we can embrace community and attempt to live out ideas of community development and allow God to transform us through that process.

We've looked at many houses over the past year in this neighborhood. The one you see above is the most recent house. We looked at this house towards the end of February. This house is what they call a "short sale" type house and is scheduled to go to sheriff's sale on Thursday. We've made a couple of offers only to be turned down by the bank... UNTIL Today.. The bank called the listing agent who called our agent and said that we could have the house for a price that's quite a bit less than the listing price but more than we offered the last time.

We believe it's still a pretty good deal, but we're not extremely sure. We've been praying for this neighborhood and for something to come along, but as you may know, when a decision like this comes along, you can't get enough assurance.

Please think and pray for us on this.. We'll keep you posted. Decision time is tonight!!
