Realtors Attend Worship Service to Pray for Better Real Estate Market
June 27th, 2007I love it!
Via: North East Florida Daily News:
More than 300 people with a keen interest in the Emerald Coast’s real estate market gathered Wednesday at Destiny Worship Center to ask for God’s blessing.
The Real Estate Prayer Luncheon was organized in hopes of breathing life and positive thinking into the area’s slumping housing market.
It was the first of what the organizers — co-owner of Crye Leike Coastal Realty Wanda Duke, former Destin City Councilman Mel Ponder and Destiny Worship Center Pastor Steve Vaggalis — hope will become a regular, uplifting event.
“The heartbeat of today’s economic community is on the backs of the real estate community,†Ponder told the crowd.
The event was an hour and a half of fellowship over lunch, scripture readings, prayer and testimonials. Those gathered had one goal — “changing the climate in the area.â€
“We need to think positively and get everyone on the same page,†Duke said. “Positive things that come out of your mouth will end with positive results. If we lose hope, we lose everything.â€

They haven’t gone far enough. First of all, they forgot the all important snake handling. Secondly, they need to study the cargo cults of Vanuatu and make some cardboard SUVs with New York plates to lure their buyers to return.

Why do they need bother? By all accounts green house gases are doing a truly splendid job.
Shouldn’t they focus on not going broke, or finding a new line of work, or something more along those lines?
Spoke with a local area homebuilder yesterday that I knew. He reported that last year at this time, he had contracts for 16 homes. This month (and last), the number was “1”, a 94% decline.
It will take the hand of the great invisible flying spaghetti monster in the sky to breath life back into the real estate market.
How long til they are back to making human sacrifices and tossing virgins into volcanoes?
You have to give the realtors credit where its due. They’re “believers”, and have to be, so they’ll put their faith where they hope it’ll do them good. Don’t believe it’ll matter though. The sad thing is, like the old testament story, they’ve had their seven good years but haven’t prepared for the seven lean.
Dude, you already posted something like this months ago. Or maybe it was a slight variation.
Pretty soon, as Jake has already said, it will be human sacrifices.
Those blood gods get pretty thirsty.
