HJH recently had its annual wild game fundraiser which, according to Executive Director Robert Hall, was a tremendous success. The event culminated with special additional help by some community members paying off the balance of the indebtedness on their residential facility.

The highlight of the program was a testimonial from each of two recent residents who explained their path into addiction and how HJH helped to bring them back to a life as productive members of society. Recovery from addiction is a very personal path that may include many turns and bumps. For these men, His Joshua House was a key element in making their path successful.

For anyone currently suffering from addiction, these testimonials would be very motivating to the addict in showing that there can be a path to recovery.

We have all heard a lot about the overheated real estate market in Texas. Austin, in particular, is known to be red-hot. Trey indicated that the market in marble Falls and the surrounding area has been quite active, with plenty of buyers but that it had not been as "crazy" as in Austin. He also indicated that things appeared to be cooling-off just a little bit in our area if you look at the data.

 

One of the questions that I found most interesting, to which there appears to be no clear answer, was about where are people going when they sell in this area and whether they are moving away or moving up. We have all probably thought about where we would go and what we could by if we sold our home at the current (to some) inflated prices. Trey's program was interesting and we thank him for being with us.
