My brother and I made this movie, and we are trying to sell it. If anyone is interested leave a comment. Advice on how to sell it is appreciated too!
Recently my wife and I graduated from a course called Financial Peace University. It has changed our lives! The way we handle our money has forever been altered. Spending money on random things is no longer an option for us. We have stopped using credit cards all together, and are currently paying off all of our debt, including my massive student loans. We are making some sacrifices to make that happen, but in less than 2 years we could be debt free (except for the house)! Dave Ramsey is the one who teaches the course, and he puts things together in a real and practical way, helping everyone understand how to better manage money. I highly recommend this class to anyone who is interested, and I know that we will be offering it again at The Journey. I have talked to several others who have graduated from this class, and they all have made some major life changes. I even heard of one couple paying off over $5000.00 worth of debt in 4 months!

I have often wondered what I am suppose to become. Am I what I will be? Or am I on my way to what I can be? This is something that I cannot seem to get my head around. It may sound to philisophical, but it is a real question that I am really asking. I have dreams just like everyone else. Things that I would love to do just once, things that I would love to do for a living, things that seem so crazy, but they are right at my fingertips. I struggle with wondering if I am good enough to make it. Some days I am so sure that I could find my place, others I won’t even let myself wonder about it. And so I come full circle, am I what I will be? Or am I on my way to what I can be?
I just returned from almost a week with my family. My grandma passed away this week and Angele and I were there for the funeral. We went down a few days early to spend some time with my mom. My grandma suffered for ten years with Alzheimer’s, and is home now with her husband who died of a heart attack when my mom was only 11. One of the things that we all remember about my grandma was her cure for anything that was bothering you. She would tell us to make a sandwich or eat some bread. If that did not sound good to you, it didn’t matter she was going to get you one anyway. She loved the tigers, and was always good to us when we were young. My mom has been taking care of her for many years and is obviously missing her a lot. If you think of it pray for my mom.
…oh, and eat some bread
So the question that I have been hearing recently is, ”how can I make extra money?” I am thinking about it, and trying to come up with a way, a friend of mine is looking for a second job, some others are trying some work-at-home deals, and others are trying to come up with a totally new idea. So, how do you make extra money?
So, this Sunday I will be in a new position. Usually I lead the music at The Journey, playing the electric guitar and singing. I love it! But this week, I will be sitting behind the plexiglas shield that houses our drums. I am not the best drummer in the world, and so I am a little nervous about it. On top of not being a great drummer, I will be singing harmonies from inside the cage. We had practice last night and all seemed to go well, but those of you who have ever been involved in a Sunday morning gathering, you know things don’t always go as planned. So if you think about it send a positive drum thought my way… or don’t, I still have to play them.
This is a few years old now, but this kid is amazing. I don’t think his feet could move any faster. Check him out!

Recently I have discovered a new sport, Disc Golf. Usually when someone mentions golf to me I say no thanks. I stink at real golf, and it usually ends in me getting mad. Disc golf on the other hand is for everyone. When I was younger we would take family vacations where would end up playing Frisbee golf. This was only played with Frisbees and something to throw it at. Now they have actually courses, a variety of discs, and an actual net to throw it in. It is really fun.
A few good reasons to play:
1. Exercise
2. It is a great way to get outside
3. The people who play our normally frinedly
4. It isn’t that expensive to get into
5. Good talks, and good friends.
So get some discs and get out there!

 You have a tough exterior. No one wants to mess with you. But on the inside, you’re a total pushover and completely soft. You’re a traditionalist, and you don’t change easily. You’re likely to eat the same doughnut every morning, and pout if it’s sold out. |
