A Husband's Confession

I’m in love with the woman across the hall…

This woman across the hall is a never ending light… (I can see light from across the hall all hours of the night).

She came to my door, early this week (I think for a cup of sugar…) what a light to my eyes that was, this beautiful blazing ray of light, filled the doorway, long before the morning sun.

Yes I’m in love with the woman across the hall

She lights the embers of my soul and she is the beacon for my direction in life, this woman from across the hall.

Like an angel sent from heaven, she is the host of my creation and the “light of Christ” in action, this woman from across the hall.

I am for ever lost in the warm light found in her eyes, when we meet in the hallway between our two doors.

Yes I will forever love, the woman across the hall.

I confess.

It's About Time

A Time to Hope, a Time to Believe, and a Time to Pray:

When we stand on the edge of a great cliff and look down into a never ending pit of despair called financial abyss (Stock Market for short). We wonder about the old story about needing a fence at the top or ambulance at the bottom. Church leaders advise use to have no fear; we should “earn interest and not pay interest”. A save and pay model in fact is the best; build a “CASH” account here and now.

But we keep finding ourselves on the edge of that cliff, looking at that financial abyss. No money and many things. I am sure we will ascend to the top of that cliff many times before the crisis of the financial abyss is over (Some say 8 to 10 years), for us, for the nation, and the world (In just one 401K plan we have lost $1,200.00 in a week).

Time is so personal for each of us! God sets time in motion and then turns it over to us to manage. TIME is owned by each one of us and used in a different way.

Just look at the word, it just has “I” and “ME” not a WE or US in it.

If not managed in conjunction with our money and our life, TIME can lead us to debt and loss of family fiber that holds families together forever. Like our church leaders have stated “Have No Fear”.

Long ago at a very young age, I got a penny from my Dad. So I invested it, in a bubble gum machine and what I got out of it has been in the back of my mind ever since. On a little pace of paper that came with the bubble gum, was a saying. It said: Time marches on, so should you!

Take time and invest in fixable, accessible CASH, along with investments and like our church leaders have said – We Will “Have No Fear” – about our current financial abyss or the time to resolve the abyss – and any future abyss.

TIME is given by God – It’s a talent that should not be concealed. Take TIME to store up a little cash that is flexible and movable.

Hard times can build great family memoires and teachings about financial stabilities’ – Take some of Your TIME and teach the concept.

P.S. I wish this lesson was given to me, long before this time in my life. “Have No Fear”
