Unexpected Encounters

Unexpected Encounters

In Texarkana, my plans took a turn, leading me to spend the evening with friends on the street that I hadn’t expected to meet. My night was filled with meaningful encounters, from a woman fresh out of jail to someone who had courageously broken up a fight, and a man who beamed with joy talking about his grandson. 04/10/2024 09:00 AM

Galatians 5:16-17, “As you yield freely and fully to the dynamic life in power of the Holy Spirit, you will abandon the craving of this self-life. For your self-life craves the things that offend the Holy Spirit and hinder him from living freely within you.” (TPT) 04/10/2024 09:00 AM

What should you know about long-term care?

What should you know about long-term care?

We all hope to remain healthy and independent throughout our lives – but life can be unpredictable. If you were ever to need some type of long-term care, would you be financially prepared? Long-term care encompasses everything from the services of a home health aide to a stay in an assisted living facility to a long residence in a nursing home. You may never need any of these kinds of care, but the odds aren’t necessarily in your favor: Someone turning age 65 today has almost a 70% chance of needing some type of long-term care services and support in their remaining years, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. 04/10/2024 09:00 AM

Street Corner Wisdom

Street Corner Wisdom

My journey to the streets included a glimpse of a friendship I never wanted to take for granted, especially when this person offered me wisdom for walking out my life journey. I was driving my car from a spot after visiting some of my homeless friends near downtown, and I hoped to find someone else to talk with before going home. 04/03/2024 09:00 AM

Slow and steady: A smart way to invest

Slow and steady: A smart way to invest

You’ve probably heard stories about fortunate investors who “get in the ground floor” of a new, hot company and quickly make a fortune. But while these things may happen, they are exceedingly rare and often depend on hard-to-duplicate circumstances — and they really don’t represent a viable way of investing for one’s goals. A far more tried-andtrue approach is the “slowand-steady” method. To follow this strategy, consider these suggestions: Start small — and add more when you can. When you’re first starting out in the working world, you may not have a lot of extra money with which to invest, especially if you’re carrying student loan debt. But one of the key advantages of the slow-and-steady method is that it does not require large investment sums to get going. If you can afford to put away even $50 or $100 a month into individual stocks or mutual funds, month after month, you may be surprised and pleased at how your account can grow. And when your salary goes up, you can put away more money each month. 04/03/2024 09:00 AM
