"Master, bid my brother divide his property with me"

 
  
Notice the odd shaped, white house...visible from Maren's window.
   "Master tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."   Where was Jesus when two brothers inherited property in Arendal, Norway?   Unable to settle a dispute about division of the property they divided the house.  Despite the wisdom that "a house divided against itself cannot stand"  at least this half of the house still stands.  If the other half of the house that one brother moved away still stands I don't know but this half still stands solidly as a testament to intransigence.

This is why many curmugeon farmers, having left their farms to their children in hopes that they would be left intact and be "century farms" some day, are probably now up in heaven saying "well darn, that didn't work out!"
