Oh! This is about you being available for God… I thought you were saying your were ava… how embarrassing. Ignore that email I sent. I’m busy on Friday anyway.

Chicks love a guy with his own house…

I think the advantage of purchasing a house is not so much the security, but making good use of the money provided at the moment by God. There are many ways that owning(paying off) your own house can put you on the edge – who lives there with you… That is to say like Christina as long as the mortgage isn’t too high. It never stops you moving on – you know we have done that many times.

Thanks guys, appreciate the input. I can certainly see the validity in what you’re saying. And in lots of ways it does make a lot of sense. And there’s certainly a big part of me that wants the security of having a house that will be there and the niceness of that type arrangement. I guess part of it for me at the moment is trying to sort out how much of that is coming from the right motives and how much is me wanting to fall into line with the push of the culture today. Still letting this one fester in my brain, thanks for the help!

if you don’t go over the top with a mortgage it can really work for you – you could still go to deepest darkest Africa and pop someone else into your house to pay the mortgage for you… I am not sure if God often leads us in straight lines unfortunately…

One of the most freeing things my father said to me was that ‘i would always have a roof over my head and food to eat’ The house and mortage thing just fell in my lap.
Watch out for the three year course thing though….
