Green Lodge Hotel

Watch out which door you exit out of in this house. Man That looks like the Winchester house in California. A Door in the wall going to nowhere.



Anyway as we were leaving the school we were visiting we saw a beautiful tree and the girls liked the traffic poles with the decorative birds on them. But as we left there was this big castle looking building on a hill over looking the city. It was very intriguing to us. We found out that the hotel was property of Iruma and through mismanagement and bad people hanging out giving it a bad name the closed the 20 year old hotel 2 years ago. It was supposed to be torn down because it was made with Lead and Asbestos products. But the city budget has been slashed and they can't afford the 1 million Yen it would take to tear it down. It costs them about 4 thousand a year to keep the grounds and trash cleaned up.

I confess I sinned in coveting the place for a Bible College. It is 5 stories and has a full banquet room with a whole kitchen and I had better stop because I have no church yet and well I am dreaming out of the box. It sets me up for a stumble. God wants us to start small and if it is in his will then he makes it happen. With the way the world depression is going to hit lots of land is going to come available at bargain prices soon enough. We just need to worry about the day we are in and serve Jesus. He said sufficient is the evil of the day..." to get all messed up with the things of tomorrow. Pray for the Church in Iruma that will soon exist physically but God already sees it spiritually. He knows who is going to get saved and who will come to the church. He also knows if we will get a Green river hotel for a Bible college and church and retreat center and oh there I go again. Eyes on the prize of Jesus.
