05 Mar 07 Hurry Up And Wait

You should have been at church yesterday.  I presented the budget and man was it ever exciting.  You math types would have been drooling over the numbers and percentages.  You graphic types would have gone crazy over the pie charts and graphs.  You sleep deprived types would have had guilt-free sleep.  All in all the budget presentation went well.  Short and sweet.

Speaking of budgets . . .

We offered they countered.  We counter-countered they counter-countered.  We said no and began to look again.  We had a target price and intended to stick with it so we give up the house with the great location.  The cool thing is the prayers in the process.  We weren’t praying so much for the particular house but to be able to hear God through the negotiation process.

We toured 8 or 9 additional properties yesterday and found 2 worth pursuing.  We’ll make an offer on choice number one today and wait upon God again.

   Ah … budget Sunday. An event that is surely responsible for more souls saved than anything we can do. I am so glad we stopped that years ago. There is nothing worse than presenting a budget … so I’m glad it went over well for you. Good discipline to stick with your figure and keep looking. I once did that with a guitar purchase. It actually feels pretty good.

   We are keeping you in mind on the house thing. Glad you stuck to your guns. They will probably regret not selling to you and will be calling back… One day.One time we were in the USA and visited all over the USA. We got four budget Sundays that winter.

   How do you feel Randy to be told that this year’s budget at ACOC was not presented at church?
