Church office report.

Business is key.  Small business.  The backbone and the salt of America.  And the church is the only business  worth working on.  Either that or raising boys  and girls in church while you work your business in order for them to go on and do the same in an even greater manner.  The rich hand their money down to their kids and their kids learn critical race theory and equality and communism and socialism while the beast sucks you dry of every penny from the other end.

On the other hand as opposed to Harvard and Yale and unfortunately probably the University of Pennsylvania,  small business is the exact opposite of what they teach there.  But I  suppose without the big businesses like Cisco and T-Mobile and Facebook and Google who owns my blog here and decides if the words I write will be allowed to be published or not are.

But yet here we are with Dave Ramsey and Del Walmsley and Preston James and Ann Wilson and the list goes on and on of finacial success goo-roos who appear to be living well in the midst of it all.  God  bless  America.  But I'm telling you one thing if this  old world keeps going like it's going or then again you look at the good preachers and evangelists like Jonathan Shuttlesworth who thinks he's the current day Billy Sunday  and he may well be and Sean Feucht and Tony Spell and Jimmy Swaggart and Rodney Howard-Browne then it's kind of like praise God I'm living in the end times.  The times that all the great prophets would have loved to live in.  The opportunity to come face to face with the anti-christ.

So meanwhile you run your business and run it hard.  If you're a rancher you by God get out there and get your ranchin' done.  If you run an online newspaper then get your rear end out of bed and get out that story.  You got a deadline boy.  Make that typewriter sing!  Mark Twain said history may not repeat but it sure does rhyme.  I think I'll just be like Mark Twain and sit here and hack away on the keyboard for a few hours a  day and then go read some books and take a  nap.  Maybe I'll get a  cat to keep me company.

I'll go to Del Walmsley webinar tomorrow at 7:30 pm my time and I  think my main question will be how could a guy get started out real small and still do real good without having to borrow any money.  I don't like to borrow.  It says the borrower is slave to the lender.  That's what Dave Ramsey always likes to say and I like to say it too.  I like Dave's debt free scream.

And then you get into good debt versus bad debt and I think I like to agree with Dave that there is no good debt.  I guess it's like playing a game and there's no right answer it's just a life decision that needs to be made and I definitely agree with Dave and Ann Wilson The Wealth Chef that the consumer credit card debt needs to go go go and be gone and be gone now.

The thing about Dave's baby steps is that it is brain dead simple.  It's  the exact plan that my cement head needed and the exact thing that it still needs today.  For me I think I  will never borrow another penny until the day they bury me because I said so and I like it.  I'm with Dave on that one.  I  don't need any more money.  All I want to do is to sit here and write my newsletter and then go and take a nap and read some good books and play the guitar and work on some Merle Haggard songs.

I wonder how Merle Haggard lived his life.  He may have spent a lot of time in the barroom.  So my main question for Del Walmsley is can a guy get started in his program without any money and without having to borrow  any money.  I think the answer will be no and then I will move on to the Preston James program that I can go on a month to month of $90 per month and can cancel anytime.  I like that because then it's easy to sponsor somebody else into the program on a scholarship and I wouldn't want to sponsor anybody into any scholorship program before I had actually tested it out and proven it for myself.

So anybody that comes into my church here asking for help right now I'll direct them to Dave Ramsey and the baby steps while I venture out into the deeper waters of the Preston James program.  Regardless of that I have in my 40 years of working managed to have established a desk with a chair along with an internet connection and some good hearing aids and a nice pair of glasses with a calendar and a clock and here's the beautiful part, my chair reclines back into a  nice good sleeping position and these live seminars put me to sleep like a rock within 15 minutes every time but the beautiful part is that I get a good 15 minute education before I drift off into dream land and 15 minutes a day will learn you a lot over time if you stick with it.
