Yesterday we took a group of students to Sapphire Valley, NC. This was my first trip to these slopes and I was very impressed. The folks at Sapphire Valley are awesome and do a good job taking care of groups. All the teenagers loved it. Even those who had never skied we’re doing well by the end of the night. Thanks to all of our chaperons and especially Mrs. Carole for driving the bus. Check out this little video of (what Mark would call) throw-up footage from our trip.
We had a great parent/youth meeting on Sunday night. I introduced all the upcoming events, trips, and weekly services for students at Morningside. If you missed this meeting or didn’t pick up a copy of the Winter Youth Newsletter you can download it by clicking here. This four page newsletter outlines all the great things going on through the end of the school year and some important summer dates. Be sure to check out the details of our Mside Out Sunday night meetings. These mission focused lessons and outreach projects will lead to receiving a free day at Walt Disney World for our 2010 Spring Break Retreat to Orlando. You won’t want to miss this Spring Retreat. It will by my fifth Spring Breakt trip with Morningside.
As many of you know, I am all about being a good steward of what God gives me. I have always been very interested in good biblical money management principles. For years I used Money Matters software by the folks that worked with Larry Burkett. I’ve read all his books, and Dave Ramsey’s too. In the past few years a new system has been developed and I love it. It’s called Mvelopes. It’s based on the envelope system that folks like Larry Burkett and Dave Ramsey suggest. Which is simply – using a budget to spend less than you make.
I love Mvelopes because it helps me spend within my income, eliminate debt, and achieve my financial goals. Envelope Budgeting is the best way to manage your Money and Mvelopes is the only award-winning online envelope budgeting system.
Ashley and I have been using this system for the past two years and it’s dramatically changed the way we handle money. In fact, I love it so much that I have connected six other friends and family to Mvelopes and it’s helping them too. Rather than having to own software – it’s all online and it takes all the guess work out of our finances.
I know that many of you are thinking about money these days and the new year brings a great opportunity to start fresh in your money management habits.
