Centre Church

Here’s a thought: If you are poor and start living like a rich person, might you eventually become rich? By the same token, if you are rich and start living like a poor person, might you eventually become poor?

Good questions! Financial experts such as Dave Ramsey and researcher Thomas Stanley Ph.D. (we recommend you read his book “The Millionaire Mind”) both assert this is good logic. So does Centre Church. Think about it. If I have very few assets (if I am poor) but I get rid of all debt, stop borrowing money, live below my means and put aside a monthly amount for savings – not to mention if I give generously to others – will I begin to build wealth? Yes. If I do this long enough, I just may become “rich”.

Fasting? Yes, indeed, we are allowing God to slow us down – our appetites, our food consumption, and our spiritual perspective are all grinding down day by day to a manageable pace.

I know, I know… Thanksgiving is over. I don’t know about you, but about three bites into my perfect Butterball the tryptophan hangover hit me hard. Urban myth? A lot of dietitians say so – it’s actually a “feast-induced sleep” from a melatonin enriched brain – but what a fun urban myth! Let’s keep it! Wow. That tryptophan hit me hard!

October 28. That date may not be specifically remembered around these parts, but the events of this coming Thursday will.
