Real vs Photoshop?

Back in El Campo after spending the weekend in Odessa meeting the community of Bethany Christian Church and hunting for houses. Meeting the congregation was amazing and FUN!

We also looked at LOTS of houses, which was fun for the love of my life, but not quite as fun for me.  I'm a guy so shopping isn't really that much fun.  I can do most of our Christmas shopping in less than an hour, while the love of my life wants to see, touch, smell and take in every little detail. 

We didn't find anything that we feel ready to pull the trigger on yet... but we'll need to go back next week and try to make a decision on someting... That is assuming the congregation gives their approval, which we have been assured that it will be positive.  However, we still need to wait and let the process work...

Back to the housing stuff... it is amazing how nice and neat the houses look on the internet and how different they look in person!  Jesus said something about white-washed tombs... nice on the outside, but dead on the inside.  Almost ALL of the houses look pretty cool on the internet, but in reality need a LOT of work!  Sounds like a lot of people I know... Me included! How about you?
