- 10/08/08 09:26 AM
I just left a networking event where I asked everyone to raise their hands if they have heard or believe that there is no money out there if you want to buy a home today. Ninety percent of the people raised their hands. It is simply NOT true! The media is lying to you and to me.
Sure the banks that are still in business have tightened their requirements on who they will lend to (as they should have 5 years ago): You actually do need a pulse You do need a Job You will need to have money … (3 comments)

How much does a free Banana tree cost...? My Dad gave me a banana tree last year that he dug it out of his own yard. If you have ever had a banana tree then you know they reproduce at an alarming rate. I gladly accepted this free plant.

Recently when I was over at my Dad's house I noticed that his banana tree was about 12 feet tall (seriously). My bananas tree or rather my field of banana trees … (6 comments)

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. Philippians 4:12.
Well the truth of the matter is that I have not completely learned the secret of being content in any and every situation. I want things I don't need and need things I don't really want. It is a daily struggle... I have my first child on the way and it seems to me that … (9 comments)
