And when it comes to finances, I need more knowledge. To better prepare myself for the future ahead (marriage, etc.), I chose to read “The Total Money Makeover” by Dave Ramsey. In fact, it was read in two days. This author has a lot of practical advice and is recommended. Check out some quotes from the book.

• “Winning at money is 80 percent behavior and 20 percent head knowledge.” p.4
• “It is human nature to want it and want it now; it is also a sign of immaturity.” p.17
• “We buy things we don’t need with money we don’t have in order to impress people we don’t like.” p.31
• “A budget is people telling money where to go instead of wondering where it went.” p.62
• “We all hate insurance, until we need it.” p.73
• “We go to school to learn to earn; we earn, and then have no idea what to do with the money.” p.78

I love receiving mail. But, please. Please spell my name correctly.

Photos are being assembled for our wedding slideshow. I will share a few with you. The rest will be seen this summer.

The welcome party hosted by my fiance & her family. Enjoy the short clip.

“The New West.” More from this trip later but in the meantime, enjoy the pictures.

I am flying to Canada tonight. For now, goodbye Florida. I will be spending a week with my fiance. Also, meeting her friends & family.

Stay tuned for pictures and stories from the trip. And don’t forget to continually pray for Haiti.

Fun Fact: I haven’t been to Canada in 10 years.

Much love,

Hux

These kids came to my church today. Unbelievable. All of them are from Asian countries. Former orphans with no hope. Now, they are educating America on the seriousness of poverty around the world. Also, the disturbing statistics of  children with no families. Watch the video below.

Our wedding date: July 17, 2010

182 days until our wedding!

While prayer is needed, please be careful. Unfortunately, it is used many times as an excuse for action. The opportunity to give should not be a burden. May it be a natural response of His love flowing from inside us. Haiti and its people are waiting for others around the world to make a difference. Will you help?
