God answers prayers. How do I know that? Because He did for me and my family. Last Wednesday my wife and I received the news that our mortgage was going to be rejected on a technicality. It had nothing to do with our credit or our ability to afford the loan. It was strictly based …
Yesterday while preparing dinner for my family, I received two phone calls with horrible news. Both of them real estate-related. One of which could have a devastating effect on my family directly.
