What, Me Worry?

This is Scott again - Heather is getting ready for another day in real estate. As I sat in the office yesterday, I heard the daily chatter that is part of real estate: "My client is unrealistic", "I can't believe they made such a ridiculous offer", "I need to get a real job" and the like. We are all so "me" focused that we forget what really matters. I was reminded of that when I opened the local paper this morning and read the story of an 8-year-old boy who had lost his 2 year battle with cancer.

Noah Dowell (nicknamed "The Mighty"), died this past Saturday. In 2007 he was diagnosed with a malignant tumor and given only 9 months to live. He would beat that diagnosis by a year. Noah played Little League, and his favorite drink was milk (just like me). Noah raised the spirits of those around him, and perfect strangers often found themselves sitting by Noah's hospital bed and talking with him. Noah continued to play baseball, and his last at bat was an inside-the-park home run. Both teams cheered as he rounded the bases and jumped onto home plate.

Noah is now in Heaven, with no more pain. He is in the presence of the Lord. It sure has changed my outlook for today, Thursday, October 8th. I pray that it continues to Friday, October 9th and beyond.
