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.

Ellis’ Christmas Song

Last night Anderson & Ellis had their preschool Christmas program at the church.  They both sang in the preschool choir and Ellis played the part of a wise man in the little preschool Christmas pageant.  When we got home last night Ashley caught this special moment on video – Ellis singing to the baby Jesus in his little manger scene.  Merry Christmas from the Neighbors family!

Last night we held our second annual Ignite Christmas service for the students and their parents at Morningside.  The theme for the night was, “Come to the Manger.”  We gathered on the floor of the youth room around a rustic little manger in a candle filled room.  The band led some old Christmas favorites and some new worship tunes as well.  The service was a time to rest…a time to drink in all the Lord has for us this Christmas season.  In the business of life around the holidays – this service was a time to rest, reflect, and come adore the newborn King!

Thanks to everyone who played in the band, participated in the service, or helped bring food for the meal.  Also, thanks for showering our worship leader, Holly Bannan, with so many wonderful gifts for their new baby due in February.  How fitting it was to being baby shower gifts to a CHristmas service.  God bless you all this Christmas.  May the light of Christ be in your hearts and home this Christmas and forever more.
