I call him my "Dude." He's my son and he's my rock star. He's the 4th of the 5. I'm still bartering for 6th. My wife's not in for that....bummer. I guess I should be happy with what I do have (I really am, that's why I want more). There's nothing more enjoyable to me that being a dad to a ...

There's a client out there waiting to buck the system. Wants money, but doesn't want to or have the capability to play by the rules. I was notified by a builder yesterday that there's someone out there (they even gave me the name of the person) who is into scamming mortgage companies through fr...

One of my favorite sports is disc golf. In Saint Charles, we have our very own Disc Golf Course. I used to play professionally. I was blessed in having the ability to develop this course with the directors of the Illinois Disc Golf Association. This course, which is located off of Campton Hil...

I get so irritated with this new HVCC bill. Basically, it's the bill that says that mortgage production staff can't contact the appraiser to order the appraisal. The beauty of the "old way" was that the consumer didn't have to order an appraisal, i.e., shell out $350 to kick the tires. No, in ...

Is this really about blessings? Maybe for Mother's Day mom would be better off having a day off without being a mother. However, Michelle, in her heart loves being a mom. I have the best wife in the whole world. I know this day is about you, but I almost feel guilty having such a great wife. ...

I am so blessed. I have the best kid ever. I'll say that about each of my 5, and my 6th, Jessi (my niece who lives with us). But each kid has something special about them. Grant, or "G" as I call him....he's awesome, excited, positive and purposed. He really falls under my catergory of the b...

1 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
(John 14:1-4, New King James Version)
