It's an old shed. Tilting ever more. Back wall is rotting from the ground upward. He learned that Papa Jim is getting rid of it. Going to pull the good board off to use on some future project. Toss the rotting boards. Before he got around to it, Joseph, our night guard, had a talk with Papa Jim. Would it be OK if he talked with his wife about the old shed? She might find it useful for her business. Papa Jim said OK. Talked with his wife. Explained it would need some fixing up. Brought her over to look at the old shed. She's excited about the prospect. Rents a location a 15 minute taxi ride from their studio apartment. Installed a table and large umbrella there. Hauls her merchandize back and forth in a taxi each day. We set her up in business two years ago. She's making a go of it, but it's quite a challenge to lug everything back and forth all the time. Joseph will find a carpenter. Repairs will be made on the back wall of the shed. Shelves will be fastened to the walls. Then it will be installed at her job site. Life will become considerably easier for her. Her merchandize will be locked in the shed each night. Her busniss is becoming more sophisticated. She's coming up in the world. Everybody is happy. Especially Papa Jim. He got out of having to pull the old shed apart and haul off the rotting boards! As they say, one man's garbage is another man's treasure. This little story fits with who we are. We're all about helping people in every way possible. For the Glory of God..
