I have been noticing lately how so many people are getting up tight about the economy, gas prices and so on. I understand how this happens.
How long are we going to stand back and let our country fall apart. Everyone is in the state of shock or what? We need to join together and take action. If you feel like I do maybe we can use our blogging power to get the word out. If we don't … (3 comments)
"The size of the loan package may be 300 Billion"
I just wanted to post an observation today. I have notice that whenever the extended family is around my focus is somewhat fuzzy. I wish I had a way to not only go to the office, but block them out of my mind so that I can concentrate on what I … (1 comments)
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your soul. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
I have a unbelievable supernatural testimony for all of my fellow Christians. I am never amazed and forever grateful to our God for all of my many blessings. God is great and never arrives late, in my experiences I have noticed that he has the perfect timing. He arrives in the … (40 comments)
A few days ago I was looking online to see if an old, very obscure LP was available in CD format. It was an album by the first Christian Punk Band - Ishmael United. (To the best of my knowledge they were the first, having put out their album "If You Can't Shout Saved" in … (6 comments)
In my life I have been accused of many things. I've even been called things that I would never mention in this forum or out loud. There have been times when I have actually upset people. Yes..believe it or not, I have the ability to upset some people.
I want to share with everybody a story that some of you may or may not have heard, it is called The Secret. I went over a friend's house yesterday, after talking for a while about new years resolutions and things to accomplish for this year, he mentioned this DVD (The … (0 comments)
Here is a little movie I just came across. It is a great little thought provoker. 
I wish I had thought of writing something like this on Mother's Day, because I had two wonderful parents! Both are gone on into the presence of Christ now, but I remain very grateful for their influence on me and wish that I could thank them in person today. Most of … (2 comments)
I receive God's promises weekly to my e-mail. As a beleiver in God's promised, I have seen His hand on many transactions. I was excited to see God move in His way for others around the country and felt I would encourage all in their faith and stance when God shows … (2 comments)
I write about politics, real estate, mortgages, financial planning, the state of the economy. I've also typed out motivational posts, and sometimes just posts that vent my current state of mind. So why should I change with my 200th post. So here it goes....
HAPPY DAY
Hugh invited me yesterday to joing this group. I love a place for Christian fellowship. However, I'm writing because my wife and I have ourselves been tested for over two years as to be walking by faith. Kinda funny b/c my wife and I had a long conversation this evening obout … (21 comments)
I was asked to pass it on and what better place to pass it on at but to activerainers...
Today I had some really disturbing news from one of my buyers. He had been in the neighborhood where we are scheduled to close on a property next Friday. The deal has been up and down, extended this long since an early March contract date for very legitimate reasons beyond the … (6 comments)
I can not stop thinking about the movie we went to see last night, The Chronicles Of Narnia- Prince Caspian. What a powerful and symbolic write C.S. Lewis was. His timeless classics just become more empowering as the years move forward. 
I just read the post, "Do You Commit Random Acts of Kindness?" by Darleen McCullen, and want to encourage all the wonderful agents on AR with something that happened to me the other day.
It was suggested that I post this to a new group and being new to the family, this is probably the group I have wished for. So here it goes to Christianity and Real Estate group
Well today is the last day of the Inspired by Movie Songs Contest....I've left my submission to the last moment........I'm sitting here with my family - surrounded by those I love....and its my Daughter Sarah's 20th Birthday!...

"Now, before you can have expectation , there must be faith to accompany that expectation . And there's only two elements in the world that controls the world, that's fear and faith. That's the difference. Those two elements control all nations, controls all people, controls all churches, controls individuals, is fear … (0 comments)
There was a man who loved us so much he suffered a brutal death. A death so embarrassing at the time and so profound in our time. The cross was the lowest and most brutal of all ways to die. Yet today it is the most visible sign of faith. Some … (3 comments)

We hear that expression often...'taking it to the next level'...for me it describes the principle that in business you never 'plateau'...you either continue to grow or you're shrinking!
Yes, we all remember our first time.....
Ok.... so this is going to sound a bit strange maybe... but I am starting an Experiment on Success. 
Normally, I'm not an Oprah fan. I know that makes me part of the minority in the world of daytime TV watchers. That's okay, I can live with it. So, when a friend sent the link to a video today from an episode of the Oprah show, I almost just hit delete. … (46 comments)
There are times that regardless of how hard I try to stay positive, I begin to look at my circumstances, and my faith begins to waiver.

After being in financial planning for a long time, the old age started to catch up with me. I was tired all the time and not enough energy to do my work. So I decided to check out GBG. Needless to say, this product has helped me to regain my energy … (0 comments)

We all face challenges in our lives. Sometimes we feel alone. There are times when a small gesture from someone else, unknowingly to them can make a huge impact on our lives. 
St Joseph and Selling Real Estate (edit/delete) 
Thanks to all of you who commented on my post about the book "The Secret." It seems to have had a big impact on quite a few of you, and it was nice to see that I was not alone in my skepticism. I am not entirley cynical, I have seen my … (7 comments)
About 3 years ago, it was Christmas eve. I couldn't go home for the Holidays, so my other friends that were stuck here in Florida b/c of work and I went out on the town. Everyone was dancing and having a great time as I was as as well ( having … (22 comments)
One of the basic tenants of Orthodox Christian faith comes from the Psalms:
On a recent shopping venture to Sam's club, I decided not to wear my typical jeans/sweatshirt/tennis shoes attire that I wear while taking on the lines and holiday rush. I dressed in a nice shirt,pants, shoes and wore my Realtor pin. As I was waiting, a lady next to me saw … (2 comments)

I believe there are three major points to help manage ones emotions when times are tough. This first blog discusses the first major point. Look for the next point in my next blog. 
I recently received a great little quote from a friend of mine that reads 
Lauren is fighting her way out of the coma! Last night, it was as bad as it could be. The family was told that if she survived, there was no way to determine what her brain function would be. All of this heartache and fear, is because she was either accidentally or was … (6 comments)
I read something this morning that I can not get my mind off of and it has insipred me to share with all of you one of my favorite quotes. 
Have you ever noticed that some things are easier said than done? 
When I first got started in real estate down here in sunny Naples, Florida my mission was to break into the luxury market. I knew it was going to be competitive but truth be told I HAD NO IDEA how competitive in fact it really was.
I found some online Christian radio programing on the below link. Feel free to check it out and if you can point me in the direction of something you like, by all means let me know. A link to some good programing would be welcome in this post.
These are two beautiful videos that have beautiful scenes and inspiration no matter what your faith may be. Be sure to turn up the volume also, the music just adds that special touch.
1. To keep good people away from bad People.
Ya know, some days we wake up and realize that we take way too much for granted. We see people every day, nod our heads, smile, wave and continue on with our lives. But...did we really see people? Did we pay attention to their response when we smiled or waved? Probably … (14 comments)
I have been spending some time with God pondering and conversing about our role in His plan. His heart is to bless us, He wants to, He looks to. I am the same way with my kids, I look for opportunities to reward and bless them, however if they are in … (3 comments)
Her smile was simply dazzling when she pulled out her notebook at lunch the other day. A simple black leather journal overflowing with paint chips, fabric swatches and dozens of torn out magazine pages tucked loosely between the sheets. Her first house was just about to close and she couldn’t wait … (59 comments)
Several takeaways from the three hour session with rick deluca this past week in walnut creek, ca:
Being a believer in GOD makes a huge difference when it comes to Real Estate. With the market place experiencing times of unsteadiness, there is an assurance one can have in the midst of these worldwide changes. A Believer has GOD'S SECRET. 
MAKE decisions on who you want to be not just who you are.
Funny how easy it is to forget God when we have to get business done. How easy it is to get the news about a buyer having a severe challenge in qualifying for a loan on one of your listings, and then spending hours attempting to find a solution, without taking … (2 comments)
Those of you who know me know that I rely on God a lot.
