Day 57 - took Jesus to the bank with me today.

Day 57 .....but only the tenth day of Lent ....I'm dying for a soda!! Of course my phraseology is rather ironic considering what Lent is preparing us for!
Think about it!

Today's intentional follow of Jesus was/is real practical. I cashed my pay check.
This is how we live.
Cash.
Not credit card, not even debit card - cash.

We are deliberately avoiding the 'no problem I'll put it on my card' route to debt and money mismanagement.
For just about a year now, we've lived (like many others in our church) on a cash only basis.

It works - you spend less.
You have more.....so you can give away more.
No credit card and no debit card helps you become a generous person.

I'm not saying we're where we want to be yet - but we are much further away from where we don't want to be.

It's following Jesus.
