rest for the weary bed and dinner Inn page 1

rest for the weary bed and dinner Inn page 1 by ric gustafson


Harry Monroe and the young real estate agent walked up the cracked sidewalk and tried to open the wooden gate. Agent Hank Kowalski tried to pull on the black handle. " As you can see the place needs some TLC". He pulled once more and the gate opened.
They walked past a Kroeker Real Estate sign that was on the edge of the weed covered lawn. They walked up the chipped sidewalk and stopped at a blue door that was starting to lose it's paint. Both men stared at the rundown house.
" Because of the condition of the house, the price has been greatly reduced" Hank said as he smiled. " Why did you want to find a house downtown?".
" My dream is to find a rundown house, fix it up and start a ministry here downtown". He stared at the house again. " How much are you asking for?". The young agent took out a sheet from his manila folder and told Harry the numbers.
" I'll take it".


Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric
