One of the many theological topics I’ve been really studying this past year or so is eschatology (the study of last things).

On October 30th, 2009 my wife and I became homeowners. Since that day my world has been upside-down. Beware, future homeowners, of the words, “It would be nice to go ahead and do it before you move the furniture in.” Three weeks later you will find yourself exhausted, penniless, and kitchenless.

Of course I’m making it sound worse than it is. I am very glad that we’ve chosen to renovate now rather than later (and no, dad, we’re not really penniless). True, my wife and I will have to make due without a kitchen for a few weeks – but in the end we will look at our new home with joy and contentedness. Speaking of my wife, she is AMAZING! She has worked very hard to make this house a good home for us and it means the world to me to see her investing her time and energy into making sure that the paint looks perfect and the house is clean.

Moving day is two days away! I’m so ready to be in our new house. The Lord is good in His provisions. I wish I had pictures to show, but we really would like to have the “after”s before we show everyone the “before”s. Hang in there. . .
