CHOICES: UNCLE BRO'S HOUSE PART 5

In February 2005, Uncle Bro and his friend Frasier moved into the Lakeview house.  When Uncle Bro came to my office to sign his lease; he brought Frasier and asked if he could move in as well.  Frasier was an Indian American veteran that worked odd jobs with Uncle Bro.  He had been to Aunt Dorothy’s house on several occasions to help Uncle Bro work on Aunt Dorothy’s landscaping projects.  Frasier was a quiet man, but was a hard worker.  In fact, I think he would do most of the work at Aunt Dorothy’s house which is the main reason why Uncle Bro brought him.  I told Uncle Bro that it was fine with me as long as Frasier followed the house rules.  The house rules were NO drugs or hard liquor was allowed in the house.  Although I wanted to say NO liquor, I had to remember the Uncle Bro was a grown man well into his early fifties.  He was fully aware of what God was asking of him, but I figured that it would take a process of time.  So, I did allow beer.  I gave Uncle Bro the keys to the house.  The next day Uncle Bro told me that he and Frasier spent their first night in the house.  I was surprised because there was no furniture in the house, not even a mattress.  He said they did not care about that.  They were just happy to have a nice safe place to stay.
