Santa Clara County Library Cards Now Free For All Local Residents by REALTOR Michelle Carr Crowe   As of July 1, 2015, the Santa Clara County Library District is now offering free library cards to all County residents, regardless of which city or town they reside in.

30 Thanksgiving Thank Yous-Thankful For My Daughter Monique Crowe  by San Jose Schools REALTOR® Michelle Carr Crowe   Even as I daily help buyers and sellers buy and sell Silicon Valley homes, I am grateful for so many answered prayers from God, and today I am thankful for my youngest daughter, Monique Crowe.   Monique is a cheerful giver-her generosity of spirit comes so naturally to her. She loves music, animals and people, and can negotiate almost anything when she puts her mind to it.   One thing Monique won’t tell you about is the time we (her Dad and I) were only planning to give a homeless person a dollar each and she gave $5, and so we ended up matching, making that person’s Thanksgiving Day much brighter.   She is fun-loving and always strives to include others in her fun plans... 11/29/2014

30 Thanksgiving Thank Yous-Thankful For The Home Church in Campbell CA  by Campbell REALTOR® Michelle Carr Crowe I am grateful to be part of the family of God at The Home Church in Campbell, Calif. Since 1989 I've attended The Home Church. It's a basic Bible-believing church. Everyone is encouraged to read the Bible and share what we learn with one another, and to love and pray for each other-both people inside and outside of the church. Some of reasons I am thankful for The Home Church are we: 1)      Practice Financial Accountability. That means no buying of church property or supplies on credit. If and when God intends The Home Church to have it, God will (and did) provide. For example, since purchasing the initial property on the site, the leaders had a vision that eventually God wo... 11/09/2014

30 Thanksgiving Thank You's-For Jesus Christ, Father God & Holy Spirit by Cupertino REALTOR Michelle Carr Crowe As part of the ActiveRain "30 Posts in 30 Days November Contest", I'm sharing at least one thing I'm thankful for each day in November. Today-and every day-I am thankful for Jesus Christ, Father God and the Holy Spirit. Unlike some Christians such as Corrie Ten Boom, I’ve never been truly persecuted for my faith. Yet God has blessed me in so many ways. Here are three of them: first of all by loving me, second by allowing me to be raised in a Christian home, and third, by letting me grow up in Silicon Valley, California, America-a country where freedom of religion is the norm. The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is the only son of God. Even if you were the only person on earth,... 11/02/2014
