I’m so thankful that I have these few video’s of my dad! I love how he laughs at his own joke when he is singing to Jenni. He was such a great father-in-law – he loved her as much or more than he loved me. I hope that one day I will be the type of man he was.

I miss you dad… I don’t know that I will ever be the same without your smile in my life…

Lately it’s been the speed of life taking me down roads at breakneck speeds. Sometimes you need a good stiff kick in the rear to realize you can’t do it on your own. It is how we react in moments like these that define us, the big choices are all the accumulation of lots of little choices. I choose to slow down! With that said. Bye, I’m going to pray.

Peter has been adjusting extremely well. The big test will be when I have to go to work tommorrow. Jenni has been recovering like some kind of super human. Im more tired than she is…

All in all, life is good and Im sleepy!

It seems like our lives are already busy, basketball practice to drop kids off at, games to go to, meetings for work that run late, Doctors appointments, homework, finals, and a million other things that occupy our attention. The problem is, if you are trying to follow Jesus but all of your time is consumed by other things – it’s easy to forget and leave behind God. This Christmas, that’s all changing!

I laid out a simple strategy of Deciding to do away with debt, Starting to specifically set aside savings, and to Purposefully plan.
I have a few side notes that I want to leave with you – just a couple of tips.

1. When you begin to pay off credit cards or loans you will pay them off much faster if you begin with smaller ones and focus your excess income on paying just one credit card or loan off first. Jenni and I did this and as we would pay one off, we would transfer the money we were already used to paying on that credit card to the next – it was like a snowball effect.

2. Get rid of services you don’t need. Ask yourself tough questions. Do you need a home phone? If so, could you go a creative route like using a Magic Jack – $40 one time fee and then $20/YEAR for phone service.

Do you need cable? Jenni and I use an antenna on our house, and receive 20 channels in HD (most people don’t realize that HD is being sent over antenna’s for free) and we save bundles every month. Most TV’s also allow you to hook your computer up to them now and most TV networks are putting their shows online (www.Fancast.com is a great place to catch up on your shows for free, with less commercials and when YOU want to watch them)!

3. Plan ahead for meals. One thing Jenni and I are doing to try and cut back on how much we eat out is to plan out a monthly calendar. This helps us curb how much we spend eating out monthly and also helps cut down the grocery bill by not wasting food (if we are buying a head of lettuce for tacos one night we might do a salad the next).

4.  Be sure to check out Epic Churches Budget resource by visiting epic4life.com/budget.  This will be very helpful to you as you try to plan!

these are simple ideas that could help you cut several hundred dollars out of your monthly expenses right away! You can do it, it just takes some discipline! Can’t wait to hear the creative ways you are finding to cut costs, save money, pay off debt and use your money to fund the Kingdom of God!
