I was reading an article, about a young Christian student named Diane who was home for the summer and visiting friends late on evening. She had to unexpectedly walk home alone and it was a small town, she only lived a few blocks away. As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Daine asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger. When she reached the alley, she decided to take a short cut to her house, however half way down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her. She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for "God's Protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and serenity wrapped around her, she felt as though someone was walking with her. When she reached the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely. The fo...

I just wanted to pass on the story I heard this morning on Focus on the Family Radio Show. I was listening to an account by Joel Rosenberg of a Palestinian Solder that was harassing a Messianic Jew. The Solder continued to beat the man and when the Soldier was done the man he was beating got up and said, Jesus told us to love our enemy and I will pray for you and your family. Then He gave the Soldier a hug. The Soldier did not know what to do with all this love. The Soldier was so overcome that he converted to Arab messianic and is now a Pastor. That is wonderful but the most amazing story is yet to come. A Muslim man was in the hospital dying from Kidney Failure in 2005, he was not expected to live for more than 24 hours. Jesus appeared to the man and said"I am healing you for my glor...

Wow, after all the fires here in Southern California, it's nice to be able to breath a sigh of relief that our area wasn't hit by the wild fires.  My heart goes out to all the folks who lost their homes and will now take years to rebuild their lives.  I pray every day that everyone will get the help they need to make it through these tough times.  Parts of the Palos Verdes Peninsula are high fire hazard too.  We've had a few little close calls but we've been fortunate that our fire services are top notch and we've never had a real problem.   Although we experienced quite a bit of smoke and ash in our area, the Harbor and Beach breezes are back and we're returning to our normal state again. If you've been impacted by the fires and need a break - come out to the South Bay and get some res...

 As you can see by the chart below, The city of Lomita is raising upward in Property values from 2006-2007 Market.  Lomita is still the South Bay's best kept secret for affordable investing and home ownership in the South Bay.  The lomita real estate market has remained steady in 2006 and 2007.  Interest rates are projected to lower this fall, 2007 so the real estate market will continue to remain strong.  They Hype of a bad market is not affecting the South Bay.  Foreclosures that you are hearing about are in the inland Empire and High Desert, not here in the South Bay.If you would like a neighborhood property chart to detail your specific size home and location in Lomita, please give me a call and I would be happy to provide you with a price per square foot of your home.

Greetings from Lomita, California! I first stumbled upon my little piece of heaven 11 years ago.  It's now where I work and playand rest and rejoice!  I was cutting through Lomita Pines one day to avoid some traffic snarls and low and behold I was beckoned to this Open House...  The rest is history.  Lomitais a Spanish name which means "little knoll."  We refer to her as the "Little Hill" because we'reattached at the hip in several places to "THE HILL" which is the Palos Verdes Peninsula.  Iguess you could say we're sort of a stepping stone to Palos Verdes.  I liken my area to a fancier version of "Big Bear."  I love the smell of the Pines and Harbor Breezes.  We're actually the same distance from the Ocean (Redondo Beach) on the west as the Harbor onthe east.  You can bicycle from Lomi...
