Although we have not completely decided to attend this church or not, we would so love to have financial freedom. I mean really, is there anything that feels so binding as money being "tight". The pastor said that on average for every dollar the average American makes, they spend $1.22. That is crazy! Debt is such bondage, and it is horrible to have any kind of bondage really.
So, we decided to drop what we are doing for the next 13 weeks and give this program, Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University, a real go. Now there is no way we could pay off said bills in 13 weeks, but it sure would be nice to start working towards that so we can have that all important peace!
Here's to a fresh start!

I just wanted you to know that I'm praying for you in regards to your church search... I recently went through my own church crisis and considered looking elsewhere. Came very close to visiting other churches. A meeting with my pastor helped me immensely. I hope you find what you need!
Gosh, $1.22 for every dollar? That's nuts! I wish you luck on your peace program, hopefully you'll be able to pay off your bills soon!
Oh Wow!! That is so terrific, Amy!! I'm actually very excited for you guys! Those statistics are outrageous lol!
Oh yeah, there's no greater feeling than being out of debt!! Keep us posted on this course. Good luck!
oh and I love the new look :)
very cool. i recently read a couple of books about financial freedom. can't remember the author's name now. keep us posted on how the program is!
It is so hard to leave a church. But if you don't have fellowship....
I so want to work Dave Ramsey's program but my other half will not give up his pleasures (hd tv, eating out, etc.) I try my best.
Bless you, dear Amy. g
Hi, We took FPU last summer and it has completely changed our marriage and the way we spend money. It's a wonderful class. I've referred both my sisters to FPU. I wish you the best of luck!
