Two Must Reads
I urge you to read the following two articles related to the desire of too many to create a “New World Order”, which would be socialistic and in which America would not be the world leader it is today. The first is a current article written by Karen Hardin and published 7/30/2020 on the Intercessors for America Blog. It describes four steps being used today by those who, in my not so humble opinion, destroy America and our current form of government and turn us into a socialistic government. This article was published in 2018 but scroll to the comments for an updated list on a few of the goals.
The second is a list of 45 strategic goals of the Communist party to take over non-communist countries and the degree to which they have been implemented in the USA. They were published in 1958 in The Naked Communist and give a good insight into the thinking and strategies of the so-called liberal elite. This article includes examples of how these goals have already been implemented.
“Conspiracy Theory,” “could never happen” you cry? Don’t be so quick to judge. At the very least, these are food for thought as we consider and pray regarding current events.
FOUR STEPS OF A COUP D’ETAT: WILL AMERICA LEARN FROM HISTORY?
Scorecard: The 45 Goals in ‘The Naked Communist’ to turn America into a Socialist State
Until the next time…”May the LORD bless you and watch, guard, and keep you; May the LORD make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you; May the LORD lift up His face toward you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).” (Numbers 6:24-26)

How Do You Survive the Annual Christmas/Chanukah Holiday Budget Drain?
My suggestion, in short, is to set a total budget amount that you can afford, then save, save, and save some more. When you start shopping, stick to the budgeted amount and pay cash. Most of us can scrape up $10, 25, or maybe even $100 for a gift for one person during the year, but for even the small family, the annual December gift-giving-peak can be a strain if not planned for. If you haven’t saved in advance, I strongly recommend setting a total budget you can afford out of current income/savings, but not out of your emergency fund. This is not an emergency! And then, as soon as the holidays are over, start saving for next year. But, how do you accomplish this?
Let me tell you our story. Well…, actually…, to read our story and obtain some tips for Establishing a Christmas Budget, Keeping on Track, Getting Started, and Keeping Things Under Control, you must read my post on the Coastal Federal Credit Union Blog. It is my hope that our story will be a model you can adopt as your own, regardless of the size of your family.
(Holiday Gift Budget Tracking Spreadsheet is a sample spreadsheet similar to the one that we use to track our gift giving budget.)
Enjoy your upcoming holiday and keep it debt free! Until next time…“May the LORD bless and protect you…May He give you Shalom.” (Numbers 6:24-26)
