Just Writing

If by now you haven't notice my blog has the intials that I've been known by through the years. Folks often ask me, why are you called J. W.? My silly response is that I was named after my mother's two brothers. One was James and the other Walter. When they learned that I was name for them, they were so disappointed that my mother decided simply to use my initials. But that is not true. My mother wouldn't have me leaving you with a false thought.

I tell folks in the churches that I've served as pastor that some people thought it stood for Jehovah's Witness. That's okay, but it doesn't resonate well for a Baptist preacher. But of course that's not so either. In the Real Estate world I proudly say that many folks think that the J. W. stands for John Weiland. But that's not so either. I was named after my uncles but they shorted my name to JW simple because they didn't want to use either of my names. But you can think of me whenever you see the marketing for jwhomes. That will remind you that you know someone in the Real Estate business that you can call for all your real estate needs.

Till next time, jwhomes
