DebtFreeAcworth
In September we are kicking off an initiative called DebtFreeAcworth.
With that in mind, any of our staff members that are carrying debt around is taking steps to eliminate it as quickly as possible. Our Worship Pastor and his wife, Blake and Emily Goss, have been setting a terrific example. They weren’t up to their eyeballs in credit card debt – but they were making two significant car payments every month. Not anymore!
They realized they could sell both their cars and pay cash for two more that were a few years older and it would save them over $9,000 per year! The good news – one of those cars sold in less than a week! If you want to know what it feels like to get an unexpected $9,000 “raise” – just ask them. I am sure they will let you know.

hmmm…I wonder if Tim Ramsey knows Dave Ramsey.
The debt-freeness is fun. We’ll be there (except the mortgage) within the month. It’s been 11 crazy (and amazing) months.

Ruby Tuesday has a pretty decent salad. I’ll have to hear more about that P90X thing. We’ve got the weight loss going on in the office these days. It’s a competition (with us, most things are).
