The authors of Where Your Treasure Is want to pass along a couple of updates.
First, we apologize for not posting for so long. We all basically took a holiday break...and then it just kept getting longer. With James' post yesterday, we are back on track.
Next, we are sorry to see one of our authors step down. I know you enjoyed reading Wes Hazel's articles that dealt with the Bible and money. His posts were always powerful and thought-provoking. Each of us writes on this blog voluntarily, and it does take time. Wes decided that he needed to step away from this (hopefully, just for awhile). We wish him well and thank him for the contributions he made to this effort.
Finally, after the holiday break, the authors decided to slow down our posting a bit. Hopefully, we will have more regular posting schedules and that will help you, the reader, be more familiar with the work being done. We will not take month-long breaks (like we just did), but we will also not have a daily post. With this site still being less than one year old, there are still some "kinks" that need to be worked out, and one is our scheduling. We hope to continue to post solid, Bible-based, practical articles that help you with your money and your faith.

2008: The Year That...
When Leah and I got really serious about getting out of debt, we looked at "the numbers" very closely. We added up our debts from Turner's birth and the debts we already had, and looked at our income and any other variables we could think of.
While things change and some numbers change, we are still focused on getting out of debt on our target date. That date?
December 31, 2008.
We are happy to say that, since April of this year, our debts have continued to go down. We have not added a penny to them. While we do not know if we will "hit" that target date, we are going to do our very best.
Hopefully we can keep you up-to-date on this blog as to how we are doing.

Joey Sparks
Hey everyone...we're glad you've found your way to WYTI. We're all excited about this opportunity for personal improvement.
I am Joey Sparks, the Youth Minister at the Midway Church of Christ in Jasper, Alabama. My wife Amanda and I have been working with the Midway church for over four years now. We also celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary on May 20th.
We feel very strongly about making responsible financial decisions. That, of course, doesn't mean we always make sound financial decisions. We hope participation in this blog effort will be yet another positive influence upon our financial standing.
Here is a brief financial snapshot of our current situation:
Additionally, Amanda and I hope to walk you through participation in The Simple Dollar's 31 Days to Fix Your Finances as we "fix our finances."
Both Amanda ('04; BS, Public Relations) and I ('05; BA, Bible) are alumni of Freed-Hardeman University. In the Fall, Lord willing, I will begin work on a Master's of Divinity from Regions University in Montgomery, Alabama.
Thanks for your interest in faithful stewardship. May God help us all to make responsible financial decisions.

Here is a brief financial snapshot of our current situation:
- Two incomes
- Excellent insurance/benefits (through Amanda's job)
- Substantial student loan debt
- Some credit card debt (currently at 0%)
- 1 used car payment
- We eat out too much ;)
