Finances, finances
Proverbs 11:24-25. One man gives freely, yet gains even more. Another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.
Think about whether you have your money, or it has you.
Tough question, one I wrestle with. One of the ways of loosening its hold is tithing. I really got inspired by Dave Ramsey, and we will be teaching Financial Peace University this fall at Hope Fellowship Church. There are other courses all over the city, check Dave's website. It is biblically sound and effective.
We docs think we know a lot about money because we know a lot about medicine, but mostly it's not true. As I told the medical students last year, out in the world some of your college classmates who are just as smart as you, and just as competitive as you, and work just as hard as you, went into finance.
