Verse of the Day: Don’t Just Talk the Talk, Walk the Walk
23 Work brings profit, but mere talk leads to poverty. Proverbs 14:23 (NLT) Don’t just talk the talk, you have to walk the walk. Do what you say you’ll do. That’s called integrity.

Verse of the Day: Instructions to the Rich
17 Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. 18 Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in [...]
FREEDOM!!!!

My Credit Card Company Called Me!
So I saw an unrecognized number ringing on my cell phone. Normally, I don’t answer unknown numbers, but I didn’t have anything to do at the moment so I answered it. Well, what do you know? It was my credit card company calling to do a customer satisfaction survey. It was about the phone call [...]
Did They Say That? Suze Orman on Marriage and Money
“After you marry, every asset either of you acquires is jointly held.

If you don’t, you can end up deeply frustrated [...]
