Explanation and April Fools
« on: April 01, 2009, 08:43:13 AM »

With much excitement and a little hesitancy my wife and I are moving forward to a new season of life.  We sold our house yesterday.  In 30 days we will be packing up what we can take with us and moving to Tajikistan to share the gospel among an unreached people group that lives there. 

I plan to keep a couple Redemption decks but realistically I can't take most of these cards with me.  I need to part with them quickly so they're priced to sell.  I'm also giving 100 free commons for every purchase of $10 or more.  Just include a note with the brigade(s) you'd like.  Shipping is $1 per order.  I can accept paypal, checks or cash.


Yes, this was an April fools joke.  I expect that someday we will be called elsewhere, but that hasn't happened yet.  It might be across the state, across the country or across the world.  All I know is that we need to be ready to go and hold on to the things of this world loosely.  Both of those things can be tough.

Last year I took a class called Perspectives on the World Christian Movement.  This year my wife is taking it.  Talk about an amazing eye opening experience.  There's so many awesome stories about how God has been moving throughout the ages and the class ties it all together.  If the class is offered in your area it's worth the time and money.

Thanks to all who PM'd me and offered your support and prayers.  It's great being part of this community of Redemption players.  I cherish what we have and will miss it whenever God calls me away.

Oh, and thanks for being good sports!  I promise not to be so ornery next year... maybe. ::)

1   Destruction of Nehushtan   $4.00 (save the other two for other people :))
1   Unholy Writ                     $1.00
1   King of Tyrus (Wa)            $4.00
1   The Destroyer                  $1.00
1   Fire, Smoke, and Sulfur      $1.00
                                         $11.00

*edit (I would rather spend the extra five bucks to get the boosters in the tins (and the actual tin itself (I use them for my playgroup deck holders)).  Sorry)

Actually, this is THE market to buy houses (since they are so cheep right now).  So it isn't surprising that they sold their house quickly (and who knows when they put there house on the market to begin with).

Gabe, how do you want your dough?

except, I've been trying to sale for well over a year AND banks are making it very hard for most to get loans AND people are losing jobs AND people are afraid to invest into a house with a collapsing economy AND the list goes on...Trust me, I have had MANY conversations with my real estate agent.  I know more about the housing market than I want to.

BrianGabe, how'd you learn the Fārsīwān language?  Was your college amazingly diverse, or are you just planning on going as a Macaulay-type 'English-only culture destroyer'?
