Shedding the Holiday pounds

Proverbs 22:7, “The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave of the lender” (NRSV)

Financial Peace University Informational Meeting - January, 3rd
While the “tale of the tape” may seem bleak (whether we measure around the waist or a round that stack of credit card bills) there is good news!
