Credit Cards and the Lord’s Prayer
Do you have a credit card? Do you use a credit card? There are differing opinions here. Depending on your acceptance of the principles taught in “Financial Peace University”, you may put them in a freezer, have cut them up, or may pay them off every month.

Cup Holders, the Drive-thru, and the Christian Life
Have you ever thought about the significance of the cup holder in your vehicle? During the early years of automobile design, the cup holder was a rarity. No one was buying a vehicle because it had luxuries like a cup holder. By the late 1980s though it was common to find more cup holders in […]

Some Good News
Do you enjoy watching the news? Many don’t because it is often filled with negativity. However, I’ve watched the news more in the past two months than in the past several years.
