BULLDOG UPDATE:  41 days to opening kickoff!

As most of you might already know, we are trying to sell our house.  It has been on the market for 126 days.  That is a long time.

We have been somewhat spoiled.  In 1996, we put our house on the market on a Sunday, by owner, and on that very Sunday we had two contracts. 

In 2001, we advertised our house for sale, by owner, and had a contract in three weeks. 

So, we are kind of in uncharted waters here.  I think 126 days qualifies as four full months.  Most folks who have sold a house recently had to wait a long time to get an offer, let alone a contract.   But, we have purchased the land and are paying interest (even as I type the dollars are accruing).  Needless to say, we are ready to move.

God apparently has other plans for us in His providence.  If you folks don’t mind, say a prayer for us – that we’d be patient – and God honoring in how we act and think, even as things don’t unfold as we wish.

Also, if you could, please keep praying for my mom.  She begins her chemotherapy treatments this coming Thursday.  She already is tired of the trouble this whole treatment brings, and she doesn’t have chemical number one in her system yet.  The road ahead for her is long and hard.  Your prayers are coveted.
