General News:
This has been a slow blogging week as a virus has infiltrated our home. Most of our family has been down and out because of the virus. Hence, the down and out roundup theme.
As you read this article I will be enjoying the weekend with my family in Denver and Colorado Springs, Colorado. Wednesday we will be flying to Houston, Texas for the last stop on our 2009 furlough to North America. Photo by Leonid Mamchenkov
I have just confirmed that at least through the end of October I will be a regular contributor to Bible Money Matters. Remember Double Dose Tuesday gives you the opportunity to read my articles posted at Money Help For Christians and Bible Money Matters. To view my other article I have published on Bible Money Matters click here.
My mentions and activities this week:
This week I guest posted at Kingdom Living. The site’s administrator, Matt Dabbs, is a friend of mine from graduate school. The post Why Christians Need to Talk About Money More challenges the traditional thinking that it is spiritual to ignore financial issues.
My Article 10 Ways to Improve Financial Intimacy in Marriage was selected as one of the top ten financial posts. You can view the list of winning articles here.
Debt: Upside Down And Backwards was mentioned by Enemy of Debt in his week in review.
The Carnival of Financial Planning included my article Why Do People Keep Making Bad Money Choices?.
My article this week at Bible Money Matters was Budgeting: As a Statement of Faith.
Financial Posts I enjoyed reading this week:
Tough Money Love posted an article this week on Personal Financial Lessons Learned the Hard Way. The article introduces what several financial bloggers say was their worst financial mistake. The post is helpful because it points out some of the bigger mistakes you can make financially, but it also reminds us that we are not the first person who ever did something dumb with money.
Personal Finance By the book explains How You Can Afford to Be a Stay At Home Mom. This helpful post lists some tips for financially helping moms who want to stay home.
Money Smart Live gives us an Index Fund Investing Overview. If you are not familiar with Index Fund you might want to read this article as many investors are strong proponents of investing in Index Funds.
Master Your Card has 12 Side Hustles to Stay Afloat. If you have been looking for a way to earn a few extra dollars be sure to check out this post.
Borrow From None asks Do You Have a Purpose and a Plan for Your Money? This post challenges you to set goals and allow those goals to determine your course of action.
Some Christian Articles I Enjoyed:
Churches are full of best intentions, but sometimes out of ignorance we inadvertently mistreat those who are full time servants of the church. I thought this post, Top Ten Ways to Ruin Young Pastors, was a helpful reminder about things for a church to avoid in their interactions with young ministers.
Signs of a Struggling Local Church gives some criteria for a church to reflect on. Again our goal is avoid these signs listed.
