God keeps His promises

"I [Spurgeon] can bear willing testimony to His faithfulness. Not one good thing has failed of all that the Lord has promised! Every example of God's love should make us believe Him more. As we see the fulfillment of each promise, it compels us to say, 'God has kept His promises and will keep them to the end.'

the landlord

There is another dimension of my life I don't talk about much because
it isn't always fun, but I am a landlord. This past week consisted of a
few landlord moments. I had to replace a dishwasher in one unit and
a bad shower in another...not the shower, but the plumbing needed to be
fixed. While I was over there, I did get to catch up with my tenants. I do
enjoy my tenants there. They are a lot of fun and a good mix of people.
Most are either recent post grads or grads finishing up. Overall, there
are a bunch of smart people and some very handy people too.
I did hear a good story from a neighbor of something that happened in
their house. The drains weren't going down well and one day they opened
the basement door only to find a very fowl smell. The sewage had been
backing up due to a tree root in the front yard. I can't even imagine and don't
want to imagine the smells!!
