WHEN MARRIAGE MEETS MONEY: Part 1
YOUR LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
By Dr. Kevin Downing
I remember when our first child was born. The doctor exclaimed in the delivery room, “Your life will never be the same!” I thought, “No kidding.” Your financial world will never be the same after marriage too. (“No kidding.”) It takes communication, understanding, forgiveness, flexibility and a clear plan, among other things...

THERAPIST CORNER
AN EATING DISORDER OVERVIEW
By Mandy Huffstetler, M.S.
Registered Marriage
and Family Intern, IMF
She slammed her bedroom door and sat angrily on her bed. It’s hard enough dealing with her parents’ divorce, and now Mom was starting to date other men? She felt so many overwhelming emotions- anger, sadness, anxiety- too many to name; and the worst part was she never felt more alone. She didn’t know how to talk to her friends at school about her feelings. “What’s the point? They won’t understand what I’m going through,” she thought to herself. And she couldn’t talk to her mother and father- Dad is depressed himself and Mom is too busy going out on dates. She felt so...

CREDIT CARD TRAPS, AND HOW TO AVOID THEM
by David Berky
Also watch out for the "no annual fees" for the use of the card but "membership fee required" to participate the in frequent flyer miles or cash back points program (which was probably why you chose that card to begin with). Gotcha!
And how about the "fixed" rate? Read the fine print, it will actually say "subject to change without notice.” Is it just me or do I misunderstand the meaning of the word "fixed"?
Also your "fixed" rate may be raised to the "maximum allowable by state law" if you go over your credit limit (including fees that may put you over...

CAN YOU FIT THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE?
by Bob Lotich
Well, if you make $25,000 per year you are richer than 90% of the world. If you make $34,000 per year you are in the top 5%. And if you make $50,000 you are in the top 1% of the richest people in the world. (Find out for yourself here.)
So, how do you define rich? Are you wealthier than you realized? The verse can really strike fear into the hearts of people causing them to run from money. But the truth is that money isn’t the issue. It is a matter of the heart. If we understand that the money isn’t ours, but that it is actually God’s and we are merely stewards of it, then it will be easier...

Featured Speaker of the Month
STATE OF HEALTH CARE
By Michael Tye
Health Insurance
Advanced Benefit Center
Another reason I say that you and I are responsible is due to our lifestyle choices. No one can argue that poor eating habits, lack of exercise, smoking, and substance abuse result in a huge portion of our medical care. In addition, we allow medical providers to go to extreme lengths when it has become clear that they will not extend, let alone enhance what few months or years we have left...

SERVANT QUARTERS
THE ONLY THING THAT COUNTS
by Gayle Erwin
Now, we have enough clues to begin to put the faith problem to rest. To a church that had lost its way in returning to the legalism of its before-Christ past, Paul writes words that move me even if it didn't move the Galatians: The entire law is summed up in a single command: Love your neighbor as yourself. (Galatians 5:14)
The entire law? Yes. All of our works that prove our faith is love? Yes. That covers a lot of territory. True. However, just eight verses earlier, he wraps it up just as tightly: For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith...
