Daily Java:

Will merchants try to buy it to sell it in their shops? (Job 41:6)

I am at a garage sale right now. It is being sponsored by the prison ministry that we are helping in.

Garage sales are fun. But the one thing I especially like to do is talk to the people coming up. But they don’t always want to talk back.

For the most part, people coming to garage sales want to just look. I always like the interaction,

That is the way with life. My dad could talk to anyone. If necessary, he would even talk to animals. He just liked to talk.

I inherited some of that. My son said one time that when I met someone, I asked too many questions. Then he stopped for a moment and said, But at least I find out a lot about people.

And that’s true. I love to find out about people. I never could figure how a person would go through life and not want to meet others.

The stuff we have for sale, for the most part, is general garage sale stuff. In other words, not worth a whole lot. But, on the other hand, you find some good stuff.

We had a Jeep child’s riding toy for sale, no battery, but otherwise good. One boy was entranced and we sold it to him for five dollars.

There was a child’s basketball hoop and a fort looking thing that had a swing and slide on it. That went pretty quickly.

I have gotten to visit with some friends while we waited, but the day is hot and muggy, so we tend to be slow.

But all of the stuff goes to a good cause, the Set Free Prison Ministry. That will help a lot especially with the families of inmates. That is one of the main thrusts of this work.

More people coming. I always try to bless them in some way when they leave. Sometimes it is the only way people can come into contact with the Spirit of God.
