Lent - Part 10 - CHOOSE WELL

Ekekiel 18:21-28

Matthew 5:20-26

Something to ponder...

In a country that puts an absolute premium on labor-saving measures, short workdays, and retirement, why should there by any surprise at permanence of unemployment and welfare dependency? Those are only different names for our national ambitions.

--Wendell Berry

Book #4 - I Was Broke Now I'm Not by Joseph Sangl

I believe that I have been reading Joe's blog for about a year. There are 2 reasons that I enjoy what he has to say so much. 1 - He is passionate! 2 - He is practical. These are two powerful attributes to succeeding with money. As a FPU coordinator, I have enjoyed his perspectives and have found insipirations for my personal finainces and to pass along to those on the journey with me. When I heard that he was writing a book, I was excited to get a copy.

Folks, this is just the type of book that everyone needs to read about their finances. The two attributes I mentioned above are in this text in extreme doses. It is the inspirational story of how he and his wife have succeeded with money. Therein lies another key to winning wuth money. LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUCCEEDED. Everyone has an opinion. Joe has gone through and is living what he teaches.

This is not an in-depth scientific or technical text on money managment. It is clear, basic steps that every person can, and should put to use. Anytime you read a book and it motivates you to action, it is a good thing. This is one of those books. You can get a copy HERE. Honoring God by handling your finances well is as liberating a feeling as there is. This is a book that will be in my personal "toolbox" as I encourage others to be good stewards and win with their finances.

Something to ponder...

"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened."

--Sir Winston Churchill

Financial Peace University - Week 1

We were scheduled to have our first class this past Sunday evening. Unfortunately, the temperatures dropped to around 0 degrees with blowing snow and awind at 50 MPH. This obviously caused some unsafe conditions and forced us to postpone the first lesson. This was adissapointment because I am pumped about this class. When I look at the group who are going through, I cannot wait to get together and begin, and continue in the case of the returnees, working the plan to financial life change. I am VERY anxious to get at it this Sunday.
