A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years.   Question:  Which room is safest for him?

Tip #1 For The New Year: Be responsible with your personal credit rating.

How's your credit rating?  Are you managing your personal credit wisely?  Are you making timely payments on your home mortgage loan(s), your personal loan(s), your farm loan(s), your commercial loan(s) and/or your credit card(s)?  It's very important to be responsible with your credit.

If you aren't managing your credit responsibility, the bank or mortgage lender will foreclose on your mortgage loan and kick you out of your home.  The credit card company will cancel your credit line and take you to court to recover any balance you may owe them.  Don't risk these kind of consequences!  Pay attention to your credit obligations!

If you have a spotty credit record, get to work in 2011 repairing your damaged credit rating.  Resolve debt obligations currently in arrears.  Make your payments in a timely fashion.  Don't make purchases you really can't afford.  If you have a wallet or purse full of credit cards, start paring them down.  Consider using a debit card for personal convenience and to pay for purchases without credit.  If you're in trouble with your bank or mortgage lender, talk to them.  Let them know your situation.  See if you can restructure the terms of your loan.  If you're a farm operator or a small business, you must manage your credit responsibly OR you won't have a farm or business very long.  Be extremely prudent with farm and business loans so you don't get yourself into trouble.

"Vice President Joe Biden said there has been no 'substantive damage' to the United States by Julian Assange in the whole WikiLeaks scandal. He says it has been embarrassing, but you can't prosecute people for embarrassing the United States. If that were true, Joe Biden would be serving life in prison."  ~ Jay Leno (12/21/2010)

Bible Verse Of The Day - Monday, 12/27/2010

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.” – Matthew 2:1-2

The Magi add a fascinating twist to the Christmas story. They were ancient astrologers who were regarded as the wise men of their time. They were not Jewish and this is the only time that they are mentioned in the Scripture. Their appearance and departure is mysterious and full of imagination. Notice the two groups who knew of the Christ: poor shepherds and respected wise men. Jews and Gentiles. God wanted to make it clear that the gospel was meant for rich and poor alike. It was meant for the smart and the uneducated. In other words, the gospel has been sent to the entire world.
