Comment on Foreclosed by Grant

Being one of the people that talks excessively about foreclosures, I felt that I should comment on this. For five years I have been one of the many people that processes the evictions. Normally it is a very easy job due to the fact that the tenants have moved out by the eviction date. However, five times, I have had to set the peoples possesions out of the house. Until recently, this did not bother me to bad because I had the frame of mind that it was just a job and somebody had to do it. However, on January 10, 2010, I had to perform an eviction the affected me deeply. The gentleman being evicted was a 76 year old man who did not understand why he was being evicted. He said that he had sold two properties in Charlotte so that he could pay cash for his new home. Over the past ten years he had suffered three heart attacks and the loss of his wife. Even at his age, he still has a small landscaping business and works six days a week. I told the deputies to let the man contact his lawyer even though we had the appropiate paperwork, and we gave him two hours for this purpose. Once it was determined that he had to leave, I did what I could to lessen the blow. We spent an extra five hours packing the mans belongings into boxes and bags and packing them as tightly as possible into a camper that he had on sight. Then we loaded his appliances onto my trailer and took them to the next door neighbors and put them in his garage. The whole time, I talked to the man about his life and tried to encourage him by telling him that GOD would give him nothing greater than he could bear with GOD’s help. I found that it was like talking to a brick wall. How do you encourage someone when you are kicking them out? Then I decided that possibly I was there to plant the seed and show compassion as much as possible. Since that time I have found out that the land was in tax foreclosure when the man bought it, and there is a possibility that he will get it back because the closing attorney made a mistake. I don’t know what will happen, but I pray that the seed I planted will grow either in the mans heart or in his neighbors because of the compassion that GOD showed through me. It makes me remember that all things work to the glory of GOD for those who love him. So if your struggling, suffering or hanging on to the end of your rope, just let go and let GOD. He WILL help you if you let him.

Makes me think of this story from Luke 17:7-10
7″Suppose one of you had a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Would he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat’? 8Would he not rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink’? 9Would he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? 10So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’ “

Comment on Christmas Symbols by Tiffany Whaley

We have several nativities around our house this time of year. The girls even have one. It’s a nice visual representation to help them understand the Christmas story. Harper even plays with hers year round. It’s something we’ve decided that we can never have too many of. Scott and I actually have one that we got when we got married and we periodically add more pieces to it.

[...] do people look for when they visit our church? As I discussed earlier, different people are looking for different things. Just as people have different love languages [...]

Comment on Say What? Communicating Love Series by wendy duncan

I loved Sunday. It really helps explain why big and little people act crazy sometimes. I love the idea of crash prevention instead of clean up. BTW do you have spy cameras in our house or do our kids just rat us out?

I’m a BIG fan of the 5 Love Languages. It explained a whole lot and help end some recurring arguments once we understood each other.
