Proverbs 18:21 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue"

Last Night my office threw a "ra,ra" for the community business owners and officials.  My driving force was to get a commitment from our local area to STOP the negative speaking!  To stop being a victim of world news!  Each town, county and state are different.  Yes, I know its tough, different, hard, its called adversity!  I asked for them to be conscious of what they say, to say things on purpose and most of all to give.  Give until you can't anymore and then that is when We prosper.  What is the worst that could happen, we get together more, we love each other more, we share more.  WE are all in this together and WE all know if the RE market doesn't rise, none of the other business will either.  Stay positive till your very last breath. (oh, and don't forget to pray!)  Spend your money in your county.  Remain conscious of each word and deed.  And another thing, people have a tendency when in trouble to withdraw, look out for your neighbor.  You see newspapers not being picked up, shades always closed, lawns not being cut...go to the door and ask them how they are.  Especially the elderly.
