Renewed

And there was great rejoicing.

Friday Night Lights has been renewed for two additional seasons!

Each season will be filmed back to back, and the season will first be aired on the DirectTV channel before NBC.  I suppose I can live with that. 

Now the interesting news will have to be which characters will be returning, as many of them should be graduating and heading off to college.  What I don’t want to see is a Saved By The Bell situation.  I don’t want one of these seasons to be the team working at the beach resort during the off season.

“If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help him straighten out almost every other area of his life.” – Billy Graham

 

If I could sit at the feet of one preacher today it wouldn’t be Mark Driscoll, Rob Bell, Rick Warren or Bill Hybels.  Not that I don’t listen to all their podcast on a weekly basis.  However, if I could sit under one man’s weekly teaching it would be Jon Weece.  Jon is the preaching pastor at Southland Christian Church in Lexington, KY. 

Jon graduated from Ozark Christian College, and I first heard him my second year there.  At the time he was serving at an orphanage in Haiti.  I thought four years at Ozark would transform me into a preacher like Jon (or like Kyle Idleman, preaching pastor at Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, KY, who graduated my freshman year), I was wrong.  Some people were born to preach and teach and lead.  Jon is one of them.

 

I say all that to share this resource by Jon and his team.  Unfortunately I couldn’t embed it here for you, but if you have about 30 minutes, Jon has an excellent presentation accompanied with easy to use curriculum concerning your finances.  Especially you finances in this current economy.

 

In my own life my finances have been a struggle.  I’m no financial wiz.  And despite math being a strong subject for me in high school, I wasn’t required one math or finance class for my Bible education, and now financial numbers just make my head spin.  I often tell people I want to marry a woman who’s rich or a financial planner.

 

Anyways.  Check out Jon and his presentation.  Well worth it.
