I decided I would try to read the tea leaves today, so as to provide some direction in this crazy real estate market and confusing economy...
Here's what the 'TEA LEAVES' said...
Gas prices appear to be sneaking up, prices on consumer goods are doing likewise.......does this mean we are looking at inflation revving up, or are consumers finally gaining confidence and beginning to spend...???
I'm betting on the former...How consumers can have any confidence when their jobs are at risk, if they even have a job, and security in the future has a dark cloud looming overhead...
This is what you get when rich politicians are sitting in Washington playing MONOPOLY with our lives...hey, it's the tea leaves, not me...
My productive career in real estate is practically over...at 66, my thoughts turn to my kids and grandchildren...
And as optimistic a person as I am, I do not envy them...
The burden we are placing on their shoulders is like tying a twenty pound weight to a newborn then asking he/she to learn how to crawl...!!!
In my life, whenever things seemed to be topsy turvy, it was time to go back to the basics...PROGRESS sometimes means taking a step or two backwards before you can gain any meaningful ground...There is nothing new under the sun, and God is still in charge...We must be careful we don't try to move ahead of Him...
Often, we take a wrong turn...no big deal...it's human nature...we're flawed, not perfect...
But the right answers always come from an unflawed God who is PERFECT...!!!
Thanks.......TEA LEAVES...!!!
