Life Lessons Through Sports

I had the privilege to speak to a 9th grade basketball team last night. It was inspiring to see the hope and willingness in their eyes to become better athletes and men. I love the side of athletics that teaches you life lessons while you play your sport. The lessons that you learn in sports are used every day in normal situations. What a great way to help prepare for life.

The number of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes rose in January to the highest level in nearly two years. It is good to see the media reporting some positive news about real estate.
