House update

Yesterday was the "clean out the garage" day. Man! It's hard to describe just how much stuff was in the garage (and the boat and all the boat-related stuff is still in there!) - today, we're taking some stuff to my daughter's place and finishing up with the storage building. By the end of the day, Casa del Dan should be totally empty and ready for new occupants.

While I was working over there yesterday, a fellow drove by with his daughter and son-in-law. He asked if I was the owner and I told them that I was indeed. They asked if they could see the place. I said "sure! I'd love to show it to you!" So I took them around and showed them the whole place. They didn't say a whole lot, but the man asked me about the price and how firm I was on it. I told them I'd like to get my asking price, of course, but everything is negotiable. They said that they have to be in a place by the first of the month, so I hope they choose mine! Lord God, give them a favorable view of the place and help them see what a great place it is! Help them with the financing or whatever else might get in the way. Father, if they choose another place, help them anyway. They seemed like nice people who could use a good place to start their lives. Lord, I don't often pray for strictly selfish things, but it sure would be a blessing to Kim and I if my house were gone! Lord Jesus, You said that anything we ask in your name would be granted if our faith was even as big as that of a mustard seed. I cannot judge my own faith, Father, so I ask you to consider my prayer and grant it if it is in Your will. Lord Jesus, I love You and I praise You this day and every day! I ask these things in Your holy precious name, amen!

While I'm praying, here's one for "Dean." Father, Dean looks like a really bad storm, the sort that could cause indescribable damage and heartache for millions of people. Lord, I know that You said that storms come to the wicked and the righteous alike, but I pray that wherever You send Dean, a minimum of damage might be done and as few people as possible will be affected. Lord, watch over us and guide us, protect us, and keep us from harm. Lord, I ask it in the name of Jesus, amen! - Dan
