Prelude info to The Bible Mission
Tomorrow I will publish a post describing The Bible Mission in greater detail, but wanted to get the reading schedule out to you today so those who wish to join can get started today and stay on schedule.
Beginning today – December 1st, 2010 – I will begin reading through the bible 7 times each year. To accomplish this, approximately 23 chapters will need to be read each day. To mix it up I have decided to split the reading into 3 daily chunks – Old Testament in the morning, Psalms in the afternoon, and New Testament in the evening.
Psalm 1:1-3 reads, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
I think it’s high time I took the Lord seriously, took Him at His Word, and turned my desire toward Him by spending a good portion of my days reading His Word. If we do so, the Lord promises to prosper us… and that is the relation to personal finance, although the prospering should not be your desire, a pure desire is a hunger for God’s Word alone.

Feel free to read the OT, Psalms, and NT readings all in one sitting if you prefer – or – read the daily chapters in whatever order and/or time of day you wish… the most important thing – and the underlying point – is simply to immerse yourself in the Word of God every day. Let us bring the meaning of Psalm 1:1-3 to life!
Psalm 1:1-3 reads, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
Again, the Lord promises to prosper us in this endeavor… and that is the relation to personal finance, although the prospering should not be your desire, a pure desire is a hunger for God’s Word alone. God bless.

I heard an interesting story the other day on a news segment. Although it was general about the holidays and money it got me thinking more specifically about Black Friday. The jist of the article was basically, you have been saving and scrimping all year to get ahead a little. The holidays is not an excuse to go all out and blow what you don’t have. This important for the upcoming shopping events. We all have to Christmas presents so yes it’s a time for great savings but in the back of your mind remember, don’t spend what you don’t have.

Because I love The Cinnamon Bear so much, I post this same article every year. This year is no different, except that I’m posting it a couple of days early to give you time to download the files. If you have young children — and even if you don’t — I encourage you to listen to these old radio broadcasts with your family.
Holiday traditions don’t have to be expensive. Some of the best traditions don’t cost anything at all.
When I was a boy, Christmas meant The Cinnamon Bear. During the weeks before Christmas, a Portland radio station (KEX) would broadcast a fifteen minute episode of this story every night.

I’ve got to admit it’s getting better A little better all the time I have to admit it’s getting better It’s getting better since you’ve been mine Getting so much better all the time
- John Lennon / Paul McCartney, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
And the data out over the last few weeks tells us it is getting better. Does this take us out of the double-dip woods, even as the Fed is lowering its forecast? And what is a recession? Yes, we all know it’s when the economy doesn’t grow, but we are in a rather unique economic environment, this time. Maybe things are getting better, but is it enough to get us back on the road to full employment?
Let’s start off with what is going right. We had a slate of news over the past few weeks that was good. The ECRI weekly Leading Index, after some ugly downtrends, is showing signs of turning around. Read more…

How you handle your finances is one important aspect of your life that can generally influence the rest of you. Your credit worthiness is an asset that you must be able to protect to keep up with this credit-oriented world. Hearing stories about auto loans or mortgages being declined just because people have low credit scores is a common thing bad credit records can result to but the scope of what it can influence has widen.
Today about 35 percent of employers are making use of credit reports as their pre-employment assessment for applicants. Now it is not just your bank that uses credit report to assess your interest rates for loans, not only your insurance company that utilizes your credit score to determine the rate you should pay on car or homeowners insurance but now there are others who dip with the use of this record of your credit to justify one thing or another.
Well that is reality and the best that we can do is to work on building our credit worthiness.
