Much of my work follows the "Esther" principle. The word "God" may not salt every scene and conversation... but His character, heart, mercy and Love... do.
Hope you enjoy part 1 of this one (written as part of a book of short stories, this is based on actual events... shortly after 9/11).

The “Porch” Sale…
Something happened last week that brought new perspective to a very old pastime. Some neighbors were moving on up in the world, and decided to pass on their good fortune to some “less” fortunate souls. Ferris had gotten himself a new job, more money… and Francine had gotten brand new appliances (for the first time in their married life). To properly mark this milestone in their domestic bliss, they decided to sell their old tumble-dry/washateria combo (which had been given to them sometime during the polyester age) to someone else. They also said goodbye to two living room tables and a microwave… which didn’t go with any of the “new” stuff.
Nowadays we call it a “porch” sale, or a “garage” sale… or, if we’re really feeling benevolent, a “yard” sale (that just sounds grander, bigger don’t it?). And experts tell us that they’ve been around, in one form or another, since about two weeks after the first porch and garage were erected on the first yard. But I haven’t heard of too many that turned out like this one did.
For the "rest of the story", here's the link: The Porch Sale... part 1

It worked! But I don't have time to read them at this moment, but as soon as I do, I will give you some feedback. I can't wait!

I stopped by a garage sale one day, and asked, anything free, with a big smile on my face.
They said, No, get out of here.
So I got out of there.
That's my garage sale story.
