My Ship Is Faster Than Your Ship

I don't remember which Star Trek Movie they introduced the The U.S.S. Excelsior NX-2000 in but I do remember that it had Transwarp Drive. How cool would that be?

If you are a sci-fi fan then you know that a Transporter disassembles your molecules in one spot and then in the blink of an eye reassembles them in another spot. "Beam me up Scotty".

Excelsior

Although I thought this was the first mention of a ship "transporting" across space I realized I was wrong when I heard John 6:21 on a tape the other day. Jesus clearly transported the ship the he and the disciples were in 4 miles across the sea. I've read this scripture many times but it just never clicked with me until last week.

Beam me up JesusI wish I could instantly transport my Buyer clients into their homes but as we all know, even with cash Buyers, you can not instantly transport into your new home.

First time home owners always want to know when they can move, both out of their excitement to move to their new home and also to let their landlord know when they are moving out.

Typically the closing process in Minot ND is 6 to 8 weeks.

When you purchase a home through National Marketing Realtors we will do all we can to "beam you into" (transport) your new home. We will walk with you through each step to make sure the process moves along as fast as possible.

I thought you might be talking about when Christ left Earth to return to Heaven

That's a great example as well Michael J. Perry and no ship was even needed.

Glad you liked it Donald Hester . I will always be a "Trekkie" so there will be references every once in a while in my posts. My daughter (17 years old) is also a Trekkie and when I read that scripture she picked it up right away with "they transported!".

I am not a "Trekkie" but this is a great way to take something familiar and relate it to the faith and trust our clients have in our skills.  

Have a great week ahead!

I still enjoy the mystique of the old star treck show...Science fiction at it's best.

I agree William Feela , Star Trek was about exploring and making friends across the universe as opposed to Star Wars continually killing each other.

Good morning Bob. Interesting analogy on John 6:21.  I need to go back and reread that one again

James Dray I've read that verse 100 times and it never registered with me until I heard it on my Bible on tape last week. Jesus's miracles get a lot of attention and even though this was a huge one I'd never heard of it before.

Hi Bob... an intersting analogy, for sure. We tend to close more quickly at my end... generally within 4-5 weeks if financing is involved.

I'm not sure why we take a little longer but we do only have one title company in town and that may account for the difference Nina Hollander

Bob, back in the day I thought those communicators were cool. Now we have Iphone communicators.

I like the analogy you use and sometimes we see with new eyes after reading something for many years it just suddenly is like a light turning on. Luckily Minot ND buyers have you to show them the way.

Thank you Nick & Trudy Vandekar . How right you are and that is just another reason I love reading the Bible, it always holds surprises for me.

I always thought the delay was due to banking laws Debbie Reynolds , now I'll have to ask why we are different that other parts of the USA.

In my area, a typical escrow is usually 30 days, 40-45 for FHA, and 60 for VA.

We do a lot of VA loans here Inna Ivchenko with a Air Force base here and I didn't even think about those loans taking longer but you are absolutely right.
