I recently started a new blog for a college professor I had that made an incredible impact on my life. This 70 year old Irish Catholic man changed the course of my life forever. He recently passed away and I want his legacy to live on. Please visit the blog website at http://absolutemoraltruth.wordpress.com/ with the new domain coming shortly. Thank you in advance for subscribing to the feed and your support! Here is a portion of today's post.
It was a thrilling morning as I prepared for my first day of college in the fall of 1999. I was excited but also extremely nervous not only because I didn't know what to expect but subconsciously I wasn't quite ready to grow up. The past many months leading up to my new educational journey had been rocky to say the least. I hoped that my newfound path would yield some stability in my tumultuous life. My first class that morning was an introduction to Philosophy class with a man named Bob Sullivan, Ph. D.
I quietly walked into the classroom and took my seat in the back to try and keep a low profile. The teacher up front, who I assumed was the "Bob Sullivan" listed on my class schedule, began writing on the board without saying a word. It struck me as strange because he was using chalk and I hadn't seen a chalk board since early grade school. Before I could finish reading his words on the board he began,
"What is moral truth?"
The room fell silent as his question resounded. He remained quiet and stared at us as we undoubtedly returned his gaze in confusion.
"WHAT IS MORAL TRUTH?!" He shouted.
The confusion had now turned into shock and fear for almost all of us as a deafening hush settled over the classroom. I say almost all because for me it reverberated into the depths of my soul; I didn't know it then, but I would soon fall in love with the study of philosophy and the arts. I felt I knew the answer but out of fear I remained quiet.
One brave soul raised his hand and said boldly, "There is no such thing as truth. Truth is whatever you believe it is."
I can only say that what ensued after his statement was truly remarkable to say the least. I doubt that this young man realized what he was doing when he spoke those words, but it began one of the most incredible, and yet simplistic, feats of human reason I had ever witnessed in my life.

"I worked with Jacob on a refinance recently and was very pleased with his timeliness and knowledge of the products and services available to us. From the time we started the application to close we felt informed and very happy with what we received. And most importantly what he said we qualified for is what we got at signing. Thanks Jacob for your honesty and hard work. "
-Doug & Sharon Coleman Sun Lakes, AZ
"Up until this transaction I thought I had seen it all. With nearly 14 years in the business as a Realtor and tens of millions in closed loans, this was by far the most difficult deal I had ever encountered. When I sent the loan to Jacob I was initially concerned with his ability to handle it, I didn't know him. After a few days I started to see Jacob's incredible commitment to this loan and was impressed at how thorough he was. To no fault of his own we missed close of escrow by 5 days. Normally I would have been irate but Jacob kept me informed each step of the way and helped me drag the clients through to closing. At the last hour my clients backed out of the deal and made me file a cancellation notice. Jacob went above the call of duty and spent 2 hours on a Sunday night talking to them about why this deal was in their best interest. To my unending surprise they agreed to continue with the deal and it closed that next week. In this business it takes a lot to wow me, Jacob blew me away with what he did. Thank you Jacob!"
