'GET-REAL' ESTATE

My friend and I were discussing a house that had just been sold for an exorbitant amount of money. We were dissing it because we couldn’t buh-LIEVE it brought more money than we could ever dream of getting for our own, far superior, houses.

Talking trash on the telephone with my dear bud was also a good way to distract myself from the fact that my diet has been less than whiz-bang successful in recent weeks.

“It’s basically a three-bedroom ranch with a huge lower level,” she was saying. “Everyone KNOWS it’s not ATTRACTIVE to have most of your square footage on the LOWER LEVEL.”

Gulp. That one hit home. Today’s menu: celery and bouillon.

Prayer request: We ask that a skin lesion removed from a friend’s dear daughter-in-law named Chris would prove to be nothing, and the threat of cancer would pass from her forever. Lord, thank You for making our skin such a wonderful and complex covering for our bodies. May each of us take better care of it and not take it for granted. (Ephesians 2:10)
