  #GODtalksSept. 4th 10:30a GRACE PLACE CHURCH1500 Royston LaneRound Rock, Texas  What is it all about? We go to church and we expect to meet our friends, to see people we love, to hear some great music maybe get an encouraging word. We expect all that.What we probably don’t expect is to SEE GOD! To really meet Him in person. In other words much of our faith based experience is anchored in intellectual endeavors. We can't imagine God is interested enough or even has the time to show up for us individually...right?Does God really want to speak to us? I believe He does. I have had personal encounters with God that have changed everything about me. I want that for you as well. God wants that for you! That is exactly what this nine week series is all about.   09/03/2016

 The biggest mistake you can make is to believe you are selling real estate! You are selling YOU! The first purchase a client makes it the "trust" purchase. They want to know the person representing them is worthy of their trust. It does not matter how great the properties you represent it matters that you can be trusted.   The first thing that gets sold is you. Your character, attentiveness, knowledge and caring are the focus of your prospective client. They are watching you, listening to you, paying attention to your body language, researching you after the listing appointment.  Make sure you understand that YOU are the first purchase of every client. They need to know you are worthy of their trust.  Go out and make it a great MONDAY!!  08/14/2016

 Round Rock, Texas, was established on the north bank of Brushy Creek where Jacob M. Harrell, formerly a blacksmith in Austin, set up his shop during the spring of 1848. The settlement was first called Brushy Creek. Thomas C. Oatts, who became the first postmaster in 1851, was asked by postal officials to submit another name, and on August 24, 1854, the town officially became Round Rock, as suggested by Oatts and Harrell, who often fished together from a large anvil-shaped limestone rock in Brushy Creek near their homes. The Chisholm Trail, used by early cattle drivers on their way to Kansas, passed through Round Rock, crossing Brushy Creek near the rock.   In 1876, when the International-Great Northern Railroad was built through Williamson County, its tracks were laid a short distance ... 07/31/2016
