The housing market has tanked, you can’t find a buyer and you’re stuck. Your best option is to rent out your house, to at least help cover the mortgage. You are about to become a “reluctant landlord.”
“One in five of our members move every year. In today’s real estate market, we know it’s more difficult for our members to sell their homes,” says Christopher Villa, USAA’s senior product manager for rental home insurance. Â Continue reading…
A man was riding his Harley along aCalifornia beach when suddenly the sky
clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said, “Because
you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one
wish.”
The biker pulled over and said, “Thank you, Lord. Please build a bridge to
Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want.”
The Lord said, “Your request is materialistic. Think of the enormous
undertaking; the supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific, and
the concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several
natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your
desire for worldly things.
Take a little more time and think of something that could possibly help
mankind.”
The biker thought about it for a long time. Finally, he said, “Lord, I
wish that I, and all men, could understand our wives;
I want to know how she feels inside, what she’s thinking when she gives me
the silent treatment, why she cries,
what she really means when she says nothing’s wrong, and how I can make a
woman truly happy.”
The Lord replied, “You want two lanes, or four on that bridge?
We celebrated the 4th of July yesterday – I had duty. Pretty tough duty day yesterday, I think I might have corns and bunnions all over my feet right now.
Lots of moving part being on and having duty on the largest US Naval base. It was almost as though we needed to have twice the number of people.
At any rate, we were able to dress the Ship; and dressing something that is about 3 football fields long by 1 football field wide. That’s a lot of real estate to cover.
Quite tired now, gonna head home, get a quick nap and spend some time with the youngums!
For anyone who has ever felt the deep lost of a loved one, it seems almost unbearable in the moment. We question things such as love, God and even our very existence itself. We try to cope in many ways, some good and some not so good.
The hurtful memories of such times either fade into the pass or we purposefully turn away from them, pushing them to another place. We can choose to hurt forever, or we can transform the deep hurt, created by such lost, into something much bigger and more lasting.
Doing this is not as easy as one might think; it requires steadfast focus and determination…it requires tough minds for those few and very tough times.
