turning the other cheek

so I've been thinking a lot about turning the other cheek.  Matthew 5:39  What a privilege to suffer for Christ though our suffering is so little.  Momentary and light!  I look forward to having another opportunity to turn my face for another slap.  Perhaps I should say, the first slap since I tend to resist offering either cheek for punishment.

So we sold our house... actually closed and sold and all.  It took a very long time, but we are out of 11470 Bristle Oak Trail.  We loved that house, the neighbors, the neighborhood, and all things Anderson Mill.  David Brown was talking with me the other day about the first house you buy and how sentimental you are towards the house.  I found it to be true for us!  We loved our house... but may the Lord grant us a better house than before.  Heb 13:14.  Look out Normal.  Here we come!
