Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
My wife and I had just finished breakfast, and Atchafalaya came and knocked on the door. "Atchafalaya" is my neighbors nickname. Atchafalaya is a river in southern Louisiana. He had gotten two magazines by accident from the grocery store and want to give my wife the other one.
While we're talking in the doorway, he told me how he was living in Patterson, Louisiana, about fifteen years ago, and saw a Facebook ad for his camper that he was living in now. He said him and a buddy of his, drove up to Lafayette, Louisiana, to take a look at it.
He said that he looked at the camper and the manufacturers paper tag was still on the shower wall and the plastic was still around the mattress! Also the oven had never been turned on!
The woman selling it had a husband who was a drinker, and all he wanted to do was drink beer. So she threw him out of the house for three months. So he lived in the camper for three months, and all I did was drink beer and use the toilet. They never actually went camping in the camper.
I said that all he needed was the refrigerator and the toilet. That's all he had a need for him. So Atchafalaya bought the camper for twelve thousand dollars, and now he's living it today. He had gotten a great deal on the camper.
After three months the lady let her husband back in the house. I guess she felt he was punished enough and came to a conclusion that he's not going to stop his beer drinking. But it seemed like she was the one in charge in the family.
Without Jesus Christ in your life everybody's going to have a dysfunctional family. By putting Jesus first in our life, it is the only possible way to have a healthy normal family. When both the husband and wife are without sin, happiness abounds!
