It is so beautiful. By the looks of it, I would not want to sell it. I would think that putting the work into it, and then possibly selling it later, would be the way to go. But, what do I know! I have not been through this before. It would seem that you would get more money in the long run if you did it this way, right? Anyway, I love you guys and know matter what the decision is, I am SURE it will be the right one! Love you all, Liz Jim amd Shari,

The good thing in all of this is that you and Shari are very faithful, loving, giving servants of the Lord and I truly believe He will provide just what you need at the right price. Just wait on the Lord...my favorite verse..."Be still and KNOW that I AM GOD". He knows exactly what you need! He will give you peace about what you should do. In the mean time...rest in the Lord and wait for Him to do His handiwork. Love, Mom (Nana, Barb, whatever) Jimmy and Shari, I totally understand how you are feeling.
