Chapter
4 - Page 36 - 2000 Acres
Jim
could imagine the future, with healthy
Christian children playing all through
these woods.
The car slowed as Jackie
prepared to turn right onto a narrow dirt
road. He sped a short distance down the
dirt road, then ground into a lower gear
and pulled to the right side of the
narrow road. A large tree trunk lay
partially in their path.
As I told you,
Jackie said, This road runs through
the middle of the property. Soon
well come to a clear area
thats large enough for you to build
a small community. He pulled around
the tree trunk and continued driving.
When the clearing came into
view, Jim nodded. Jackie, from what
I see, this land is perfect. Tomorrow I
want to check out the geography of the
area and talk to the locals. Ill
let you know the day after tomorrow if I
want to buy it.
Thats fine,
Jim, Jackie replied, understanding
that Jim wouldnt rush into a deal
of this scope. But I think
youll take it, so Ill spend
tomorrow getting the paperwork
together.
Jackie brought the car to a
stop in the center of the clearing, and
they got out to stretch their legs and
look around. After a few seconds, Jackie
leaned comfortably against the fender of
his car and gazed into the distance, deep
in thought. His mother was in poor
health, and he was worried about her.
When he finally came back to earth and
looked around, he saw Jim about a hundred
feet away on the opposite side of the
car. A light blue glow surrounded Jim as
he knelt on the ground with his hands
clasped together, deep in prayer.
