thanksgiving: Thanksgiving and Real Estate
- 11/23/15 11:13 PM
Last night, my wife and I were watching another recorded episode of “Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles” on the Bravo network. It is sort of fascinating watching these agents as they zip around Los Angeles in their flashy and expensive cars selling and listing multi-million dollar properties, and earning mind boggling sales commissions. For an old dog like me, it is almost other worldly watching these guys earn COMMSISSIONS that are equal to the COST of houses I have sold here in Ohio. While it fun to watch…especially with all that is happening in the world, the show is not a complete representation … (6 comments)
thanksgiving: Be Kind To One Another

Be Kind to One Another My wife and I were on a Southwest flight this past Wednesday, heading to Tampa to spend Thanksgiving with two of our sons. The flight attendant on the flight was really funny, and actually made the normal “vital flight information” about how to wear your seat belt, or how to use your seat cushion as a flotation device worth listening to. She had some great one-liners…but I thought the best line from her comedy set was when she ended with, “Please sit back and enjoy your flight…and don’t forget to be kind to one another.” Here … (2 comments)

I Once Was Blind… The rest of the headline, as many of you know, goes like this; I once was blind, but now I see. It is from John 9:25 in the New Testament. It deals with a blind man, who had been healed by Jesus, and the man is trying to explain to onlookers what happened. Despite one’s faith, there is a message here for everyone. There are all types of blindness in the world. I’d like to take a few moments to touch on one form of blindness. It is called Perceptual Blindness. Our eyes send a tremendous amount … (4 comments)
thanksgiving: Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles Ah, in just two days it will be Thanksgiving. The glorious aroma of turkey roasting in the oven, a host of other wonderful smells emanating from the kitchen, wine being poured into our best stemware, and the laughter of family drowning out the Macy’s Day parade on television…yes, these are the things that remind many of us of the joys of Thanksgiving. My brother-in-law, Kenny, and I have a tradition of our own. As soon as we have eaten, and the dining room has been cleared of way too much food and dirty dishes…we sit down to … (2 comments)
thanksgiving: What the World Needs Now...

What the World Needs Now… Go ahead and finish it…come on, you know the words… "What the world needs now is love, sweet love It's the only thing that there's just too little of..".
This beautifully written song was composed back in 1965 by Burt Bacharach, with lyrics by Hal David. While the song is almost 50 years old, the lyrics resonate in our hearts because at the end of the day, life really is all about love. Mother Teresa explained our over-whelming need for love this way, “We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked, and homeless. … (4 comments)
