When I list a piece of land for sale, I often note the Good Lord is not making any more land. It is the truest form of “real property”. Houses, barns and even trees can be replaced or replanted, but real property is not being reproduced. During the deep downturn in our economy, I was…
I’m a local REALTOR and I was very excited when REALTOR.com came out with a new ad campaign that says, “Accuracy Matters”. There is possibly more “mis-information” as there is accurate information online. This is very true when it comes to the real estate market. Zillow’s “zestimate” has been known to be all over the…
On one hand I think it would be so cool to inherit millions of dollars and acres and acres of land. I could have grown up never really working but I might be worthless as a person because the work and struggles develop my character and my resolve. I do know people who have inherited…
I have learned over the years that the posture of my body in worship should be a genuine reflection of my heart. I can either stand in awe of the Lord or sit down and be still in His Presence. I can kneel before Him or even lie down before Him. I do believe that…
I am really wrestling with this concept this morning. I believe the word “Holy” is a special word. Holy means dedicated or consecrated to God for His purpose.

I remember in High School learning to take notes. I wasn’t sure what to write down. I had to learn to write down certain parts of what the teacher was saying so that I could remember most all of what was said. I’ve since become more efficient at taking notes and thanks to my electronic…
If you’ve ever experienced a long distance relationship of any kind, you know that on their best days it’s difficult. With today’s technology like Facetime and Skype, it’s a bit easier. Nothing replaces being together face to face and being able to hold hands and embrace. My heart goes out to families who are separated…
This is a short way of saying a person is mad. There are similar ways to say this. I think everyone who has ever lived has been “ticked off”, mad or frustrated at some point. It’s not a bad thing to be frustrated and mad. If I act on my frustration and anger in a…
I remember as a kid hearing a song that says “God can do anything but fail”. There is no way at such a young age I could grasp that truth. I’m not sure at what age, I began to understand and cling to that truth. I believe it. My daughter used to go to bed…
