It's All About Respect

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Ward County Notary Services 607851

In today's world it seems to be all about disrespect.

If you disagree with someone's opinion you can trash them as a person, even if you really know nothing about them or their circumstances. Not to sound like an old fart but it seems the world is going to hell in a hand basket.

I am still a suit and tie man when it comes to going to church. I am often asked why, even by the majority of church goers I know and attend with. I answer with this short explanation: You know I am a staunch conservative BUT if Joe Biden invited me to the White House for dinner I would graciously accept, use my best manors, and wear my best clothes. So how much more important is God Almighty than the President of the United States of America? I respect God thus when I am in His house I am going to be gracious, use my best manors, and dress my best out of respect.

One last note: God made man in His image... not respecting others is an affront to God the Father.

Michael Jacobs I do see common courtesy practiced all the time but not so much respect. I hope people will at least hold on to that (courtesy).

People do crave manners and respect Nina Hollander, Broker . You have a great business plan right there BUT add you unmatched radiant beauty and who could possibly resist you?

It is a funny cartoon Brian England . I am not sure where Timmothy got the idea as I am not aware of any of our guinea pigs shredding clothing. I do know that a guinea pig will gnaw on woodwork but we never had that problem either.

Crime is rampant in certain large cities in America, Bob, with no respect given. Nothing is being done by elected officials to prevent violent attacks, burning public property or shoplifting and looting. Everyone else is left to live with it. Would decline an invitation to eat in Biden's basement, I prefer to be in the company of people who put America first!

An over abundance of disrespect is evident Paddy Deighan MBA JD PhD and the media fuels it. It's got to change.

I feel much the same way Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! I would accept the invitation however just so I could bring the Gospel to Joe... he really needs to know there is a MUCH higher power than he and that his actions will be judged, not just by people and history but by God Himself.

Oh, I'm so with you on this, Bob! The world has changed SO very much in recent years and I'm not sure we can ever get back to the way it was. There are a lot of wolves in sheep's clothing in our midst but, I do feel that they will be 'found out' sooner rather than later. 

Love the cartoon too - so very cute!

Do you remember how the country came together on/after 911 Debe Maxwell, CRS ? I think something can and will reunite our National spirit and hopefully it will not be another attack on our nation. We need something to remind us there are more important issues then calling boys girls and girls boy.

We could use a lot of respect in the current national atmosphere. Hate seems to be more common.

Sad but true Roy Kelley . The media are masters at polarizing the people. It would be nice to expose who the people are doing the work of the devil.

Amen Leanne Smith but as with my example, an office like that of President deserves respect BUT that doesn't mean that the office holder does.

Amen Bob!  I agree 100%.  Respect seems to be lacking in today's knee jerk reality.  People disparage others without so much as a blink of an eye.  Not in my world!  Great post!

Thank you Jan Green - Scottsdale, AZ . Today people are so quick to trash someones charictor over one little thing that they do not see eye to eye on.

Loved this post Bob "RealMan" Timm ... Like you I see the same thing.  And I agree, when we go to the House of the Lord "church" we should be respective in dress and respectful.

Q. How can I join the group "Christianity and Real Estate" ... please let me know. Thx

Bob "RealMan" Timm Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I cannot find the group.  I find the Group Tab and there are a number of groups I have already become a member of, but there is no place to get to the one you are on.  Can you help?  I've tried a few different routes and to no avail.  I'm sorry.
