Good News Gospel!
Oh, how your Two Chums LOVE sharing good news! This is a story we read which was written by a very happy Robert Hartwell last week.
“3 weeks ago I found this house online. I said, “This is my house”.
I called the seller and was told it was a cash only offer and that “I’m sure that takes you off the table”. Don’t you ever underestimate a hard working black man.
I saw the house last week and when I walked in I knew I was home. The house was built in 1820 for the Russell family who owned the cotton mill in town. Slavery was still legal.
When the agent asked me why I wanted such a large house I said it was “a generational move”. I know this house is bigger than me.
I wish I could’ve told my ancestors when they were breaking their back in 1820 to build this house that 200 years later a free gay black man was going to own it and fill it with love and find a way to say their name even when 200 years later they still thought I would be “off the table”.
We are building our own tables. I’ve never been prouder to be a black man. Come to my White House any time. I can’t wait to have you!
Glory to God in the highest. I’m a homeowner.”
What a very heartwarming story this is. We love spreading heartwarming stories!
