House Sold

We sold our house this past Friday. Our closing is late in June, which is the ideal time for us. The only contingency on the contract is that the house must appraise for the sale price. So, we are a step closer to my career change.

The appraiser was here for a full three hours today. Like many of the people I encounter these days, he was very curious about why we're doing what we're doing. I guess it's not every day that a 50+ year-old senior executive at a Fortune 100 company leaves his career to study for the ministry. I can understand the curiosity.

Many of our local town folk -- our dentist, optometrist, postal carrier, Starbucks "barista," real estate agent, video store clerk, and so on -- are excited, moved, and very supportive, but I'm afraid they often draw the wrong conclusion: a conclusion about us. The only valid conclusion is about Christ. He's worth it!

See my previous post from last September, "The Presence of God Better than a Beautiful House."
