She Threw Him Out Of The House!

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!

Three Blown Tires!

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

My neighbor Atchafalaya, in the next RV came over to give my wife a magazine.  "Atchafalaya" was his nickname. Atchafalaya is a river in southern Louisiana where he had grown up. He had taken two by accident at the grocery store. We were talking about how beautiful the day was this morning. And he mentioned that he had gotten his camper repaired yesterday by an electrician.

I told him, "yeah I saw their repair guy was over there, what did he fix?"  He said he was trying to repair some wiring. He explained how he was trying to fix it himself and pulled some wires to get some slack, and ripped out the wires! He said the camper had set idol for ten years, and needed a lot of repairs done to it.

I told him, "yeah the wires had probably rotted out and probably were pretty brittle. He didn't seem to agree with that and easily brushed off my comment. He continued, they tell me how the hurricane was going towards Morgan City about fifteen years ago, and he wanted to get out of there. So he is pulling the same camper to Alexandria Louisiana, Atchafalaya had just purchased the camper, and along the way he had three tire blowouts! I told him yeah the camper set for ten years in a warehouse, and tires after five years are unreliable. After five years the rubber starts to deteriorate! And he seemed to agree with that. He said that it cost him twelve hundred dollars of repairs to fix the three tires!

I told him that he should have had all the tires replaced when he bought the camper. He reluctantly agreed with that statement. He said eventually replaced all the tires with sixteen ply tires. He said now he can run over some I-beams and never get a flat tire!

That just goes to show that things in this life deteriorates. But if we have Jesus Christ in our life, He never gets old and He never deteriorates. You can have Jesus in your life, all your life, and he'll never get old, and he'll always be by your side!
