War Room Page #4

Veronica, this is Tony Jordan.

We met a few days ago

after I met with Mr. Barnes.

Hey, listen, I'll be coming

through town next week

and I was wondering if you could

recommend a couple of nice restaurants.

Feel free to call me back

at this number.

Take care.

I appreciate you coming this morning.

- Coffee will be ready in a couple of minutes.

- Sounds good.

I ran a sales report from the area.

I wrote down a suggested asking price

for the house.

Well, what do you think?

Now, what did you say

your husband did for a living?

Well, we actually

haven't talked about that,

but he's a sales rep

for Brightwell Pharmaceuticals.

And where did you say

you attended church?

Well, we occasionally attend

Riverdale Community.

So you would say you know the Lord.

Yes! I would say I know the Lord.

You think the Lord is okay

with this asking price?

And you have children?

Ms. Clara, my husband, Tony, and I

have been married for 16 years.

We have one daughter.

Her name is Danielle and she's 10.

She enjoys pop music and ice cream

and jumping rope.

Well, that's good to know.

Now, you say

you attend church occasionally.

Is that because your pastor

only preaches occasionally?

Ms. Clara, I really would like

to help you sell your house.

That's why I'm here.

As far as my faith is concerned,

I believe in God, just like most people.

He's very important to me.

Well, let me get our coffee.

So, if I asked you

what your prayer life was like,

would you say that it was hot or cold?

I don't know that I would say it's hot.

I mean, we're like most people.

We have full schedules. We work.

But I would consider myself

a spiritual person.

I'm not hot, but I'm not cold either.

Just, you know, somewhere in the middle.

Here you go.

- I've got cream or sugar if you need it.

- No, thank you. I like it black.

Ms. Clara, you like your coffee

room temperature?

No, baby, mine's hot.

Elizabeth,

people drink their coffee hot or cold,

but nobody likes it lukewarm,

not even the Lord.

Point taken, Ms. Clara.

But why do you feel the need

to examine my personal life?

Because I've been where you are.

And you don't have to step

on the same land mines that I did.

That's a waste of time.

And this asking price is just fine.

Let me get you a hot cup of coffee.

I was a little sneaky last time.

What land mines do you think

I might step on?

You tell me.

Now, if there was one thing in your life

that you could make better,

what would it be?

Just one?

Well, I'd probably have

to say my marriage.

If there's one thing

we do well, it's fight.

No, I don't think you do.

I'm sorry?

Just because you argue a lot

doesn't mean that you fight well.
