Bushes...

I sat down in the red, black and green checkered chair without really thinking about what might come of the conversation. I was there to talk, let my mind wander, in a free-association sort of way, about life and the journey that I was taking on this big, ocean blue bus we call Earth. I was about to get so much more.

Today wasn't for walking around a property seven times, like a nomadic Judean, waiting for the fall of Jericho, that was SO yesterday! I was in a cool office, sitting in a comfortable chair, enjoying time with a friend. Early on in the conversation I was listening to my friend talk about a friend of his who, hmmm, maybe had this piece of property that would fit for my current business plan. Wide-eyed, I confessed that the last person I would have expected to have a referral from was the guy sitting across the room talking with me. I rarely talk specific business issues with him, or business at all, but here we were, zeroing in on a prime opportunity for my new found emphasis on asset acquisition.

(Now talking about "asset acquisition" is death to a blogger. Nothing sexy about that. Indeed, that's probably why it makes good business sense. But back to my story.)

I am always looking for doors opening, doors closing. I believe in, well, the supernatural. You know that by now, but what you don't know is the extent to which I believe that God, via the Holy Spirit is always trying to communicate to us/me. I believe it wholly. Not that I always live like I do, but in my heart that's where I stand. I want to be like Abrahm...

God: "Abrahm, go into a land I will show you."

Abrahm: "Yes Lord." He gets up, pulls up his tent stakes and sets out to WHO-KNOW-WHERE? Abrahm truly believed.

God calls Abrahm out...WAY out. Abrahm follows. God honors his faith by leading him to his new home. Now if I really, I mean REALLY believe all of this stuff then I too, want to go when called. So when my friend told me about this guy he was talking to just one day ago, well, I couldn't resist. I had to find out. I was looking for God in my desert. He's there. I think I can help someone who needs help. Can't wait.

Just as an aside to all this, I went and saw the property...amazing. Fits my specifications to a tee.

"Harlan, go into a land I will show you."

Stake dinner anyone?
