I had a doctors appointment at OHSU at the Neurolgy department for my Parkinson’s and then we went to NE Portland to help our son Sam and his wife Shannon clean up and paint the house they own and have been renting out for the last several years. They are going to sell it so they can buy a house in Stsyton where Sam is pastoring. It was amazing to me how totally trashed their house was. When they lived there about 3 years ago it was a very nice, clean, cute house. Today the carpets were literally black, the house reeked with the smell of marijauna, and junk was everywhere. It is interesting how people live and the conditions they create that they live in. But in a couple of days with lots of paint, new carpet, and some work the house will look nice once again and someone will buy it and enjoy it and take good care of it. Probably the people who have lived in the house created an invironment that they were fine with though I have been in mud walled, grass roofed, dirt floored huts in Africa that looked better than this house. The Bible calls our body a house that we, our soul and spirit live in and some have a nice house and others have an ugly house but they don’t seem to notice and if they do notice they don’t really care. My inner house has God living in it so it is special.
