FINALLY!

Jean finally got it right. The "miracle" her pastor told her to expect was an offer from Barry to finance the move. Barry doesn't have any money, but his dad does. Apparently, he told the pastor that he could get the money from his dad to finance the new restaurant and keep Jean from going back to Atlanta. Unfortunately, Barry attached so many strings to the loan that Jean said, "Forget it. I'm outta here."
Now Barry can tell all their mutual friends, "I offered to give her the money, but she refused!"
The pastor has already seen through Barry's smoke screen.
She gave Jean her blessing, so this time it's for sure.
Jean told the future landlord that she is not going to be able to sign a lease. He kept her $1,000.00 deposit and told her to get clear her stuff out of the building as soon as possible. In a classic case of counting chickens.. etc. Jean already bought $600 worth of tables and paid to have them delivered to the new cafe. So now, she has to pay for a U-Haul so we can move them to her garage, living room, kitchen, etc. until she finds a way to get rid of them.
Let's try to get a clear understanding of her current situation:
1. She has no money.
2. Her lease on the old cafe is up. She may have to vacate the building at the end of this month or she may be able to continue operations until the end of the year. As of today, she doesn't know which it will be so she's stopped buying bulk quantities of supplies.
3. She has taken two large deposits for catering a wedding reception for 300 people on January 23rd.
4. She has no money.
5. She has a house and storage unit full of furniture and restaurant supplies that she wants to ship to Atlanta.
6. She has no money.
7. She has a Chevy minivan that she wants to ship - not drive - to Atlanta.
8. She has no money.
9. She intends to arrange to buy a bake shop and rent a house in Atlanta BEFORE the end of January.
10. She has no money.
11. She prays from morning to night (and most of the night) for God to help her out.
12. If her prayers are answered, I may need to reconsider my opinion of religion.
13. If her prayers are answered, my opinion of religion will be: You gotta be kidding!
13. She has NO money.
