Greater Lewisville Association of Realtors - Christmas Kids 2014

The Greater Lewisville Association of Realtors Community Services Committee had another successful year with the Christmas Kids project.  The project by the committee was to raise funds to be able to provide each child with a pair of shoes, shirt, jeans, jacket and a wish list item.  The committee not only helped raise and collect the funds but also went out shopping for the kids. 

The kids and families who were shopped for were provided by the Veterans Coalition of North Central Texas and by Communities in School.  The goal this year was to be able to help 100 kids and that goal was not only reached but also surpassed.  The event as a whole was a success and was a rewarding experience to be able to be a part of it.

Christmas can be a holiday in which many kids go without getting gifts and deal with the feeling of being left out.  Also for the parents it can be especially tough if they are not able to provide as well.  There are many families in the area who needed help and we were glad to be able to come together as an association and help out our very own community who we serve on a regular basis.

NFL WEEK 15: Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles Prediction

So here we are again with two teams with the same record and the same playoff consequences on the line.  The Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles have a tied record and are both trying to establish themselves as the best in the division for a playoff spot.  If you remember last time these two teams met that was exactly the case and the Eagles won the game in a pretty convincing way.

This time I just don't see much being different, the Philadelphia Eagles give the Dallas Cowboys a hard time with their fast paced offense.  The Eagles run the ball well against the Dallas Cowboys defense but it is the passing game that takes it over the top and gives them more trouble.  The Dallas Cowboys defense just wasn't up for the task last time and I don't expect them to be up for it this time.

On the other side of the ball the offensive line has to establish itself in order for the Dallas Cowboys to even have a chance.  If they can establish the line then the running game should follow and we know how they are if they can do that.  Once the running game is established then they can really open it up to the passing game and be a threat but it all starts with the offensive line.

If it is one thing the Dallas Cowboys just don't do well is adjust even through out the game, they are always behind the curve and I put that on the coaching staff, so keep an eye out for that during the game.

I will give this game to the Philadelphia Eagles, I think they should be able to easily take it by two touchdowns, but we will see.

GO COWBOYS!!!

WEEK 14 Prediction: Dallas Cowboys vs Chicago Bears

It's week 14 in the NFL and the Dallas Cowboys are in Chicago to take on the Chicago Bears on primetime.  Remember last time these two teams play it was very cold, which I don't expect it to be as bad this time around.  When they did play they Bears took the game 45-28 with their backup quarterback throwing for four touchdowns.  The Chicago Bears aren't having their best season by their record but they are a dangerous team as they have a well balanced offense with plenty of offensive threats.  The Dallas Cowboys secondary will have their hands full yet again this week as well as the rest of the Dallas Cowboys defense.

Cutler will be at the quarterback position this time which is good news and bad news for Cowboy fans.  The good news is he isn't have a good season and having a lot of turnovers.  The bad news is that when he has played the Cowboys the last two times he has had 5 touchdowns with no interceptions.  Again this goes back to the Dallas Cowboys secondary, they have to play solid and looking on their last game against the Eagles it won't look good.  The Chicago Bears had a field day with the secondary last year again the Dallas Cowboys and I expect that to be the case again.  The rest of the defense will have their hands full as the Bears have a good running back in Forte plus Bennett is having an all pro year as well.

On the offensive side of the ball nothing changes, the Dallas Cowboys have to win the offensive line battle, if they do that the rest will fall in place.  Last week against the Philadelphia Eagles they didn't win the offensive line battle and as a result Demarco Murray did not have a good game which lead to the receivers not having a good game.  Want proof, check out Tony Romo's stats in that game, they are not pretty.  Get the offensive line going and that means the running game does well and so does the rest of the offense.

Again it won't be an easy game, while the Bear's record doesn't reflect a good team they are much better than that and can be dangerous.  For the Dallas Cowboys it will be important that the defense play a well disciplined game and give the offense a chance to stay be on the field.

I'll take the Dallas Cowboys in a close one only by 3.

Go Cowboys!

Week 13: Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles Prediction

 

It is Thanksgiving and that can only mean family, turkey dinner and Dallas Cowboys football.  This week the Dallas Cowboys take on the Philadelphia Eagles in a game that is sure to catch the attention of the NFL, not only because it is only one of two games on Thanksgiving day but because these are two contenders up to this point.  Also they are in the same division tied for first place which should add to the competiveness of the game.

Let me start by saying both teams are 8-3 but which is the better 8-3 team?  Let's look at a few things the Eagles score a lot of points and is the Cowboys defense up for the challenge?  I just see the Cowboys defense as a weak point and see the Eagles having the upper hand on this... but also know they have a lot of turn overs as well.  This will be a big key to the game, if the Eagles start turning it over it can go south for them quick.

On the other side of the ball it is no secret the Cowboys have one of the best lines in football and as a result the top rusher in Demarco Murray.  The Eagles have a pretty good defensive line which have really held back some running backs to low rushing yards but I really doubt that will be the case this week.  If the Cowboys can establish the run and dominate at the line the rest should fall in to place.

Expect the Eagles to put up a lot of yards on the offense, test the Cowboys secondary, put up some points but look out for turnovers as well.  Expect the Cowboys defense to struggle especially the secondary and the defensive line to not be much of a factor.  If the Cowboys win the offensive line battle they stand a good chance.

Go Cowboys!

Happy Thanksgiving!

STUFF THE BUS THANK YOU!

STUFF THE BUS by the Greater Lewisville Association of Realtors

                                          

As we send off our kids to school and take them to class for their first day of school I thought it would be a good time to share a campaign I was recently a part of.  I am a member of the Greater Association of REALTORs and also a member of the Community Services Committee.  We recently had a campaign to raise backpacks and all the school supplies needed for as many students as possible.

I am glad to say that as an association our campaign was able to successfully raise more than 250 backpacks filled with all the school supplies a child would need in each bag.  Our members were able to raise money, take time to shop for bags and school supplies and present them to Communities In School which works with the Lewisville ISD.  The backpacks and school supplies would go to help children in need who would have one less thing to worry about in school.  If we all remember our school days we worried about many things, are kids going to like me, will I make friends, do I have school supplies, and so on.  If we can help those kids in need have one less thing to worry about and help their parents as well then it makes for better prepared kids and helps our community in general.

I am very proud of our effort and just makes me feel great when I dropped off my daughter at school this morning knowing we helped 250 kids have a better first day of school.

Thank you to all who helped!
