AMERICAN SOLDIERS IN BRUSSELS?
By Dwight Short
While recently in Brussels, we were just completing our visit to the Atomium and returning to the Grand Plaza for dinner when the sounds of Gershwin and American Country music were filling the air. It was to be our last day in Europe and we longed to be back in the good old USA but the music sounded like a hometown Fourth of July picnic. As we strolled thru the streets to find the source of this A...

Do I need pre-paid legal?
Dear Dave,Do you have an opinion on whether or not pre-paid legal is a product worth purchasing?Anika
Dear Anika,I'm not mad about pre-paid legal. But a lot of folks who recommend and advocate it don't like me very much, because I tell people it's a bad idea. Here's why: Pre-paid legal will cost you about $300 a year. If you take $300 a year, and multiply that out...

What term level should I buy?
Dear Dave,My husband and I are both 37 years old, and we have two children, ages six and four. We follow your plan and we'll be debt-free, except for our house, by next May. How should we determine whether to get 20-year or 30-year level term life insurance plans?Valerie

Christian Leaders of Leaders - Stand Up!
By Buck Jacobs
This is a word to Christian leaders, particularly for leaders of leaders. These are tumultuous times. Things are being shaken that have never been shaken and there is a spirit of fatigue and even fear loose in our land and in the Church. There is no longer any security in things that had been thought to be secure and as I travel and speak to believers across the country I hear a cry for relief and...

DID YOU WIN YOUR GAMES IN FRANCE?
By Dwight Short
Many of you have been asking how we did in our basketball games while on mission to France. Our official record was 5 wins and 1 loss, but one of our games was not counted in this statistic because it was officially called a scrimmage. For many years, our guide and spiritual leader from France, Gerard Lanniee had prayed about the possibility of an American team of Christian players coming to Franc...

FIRST DAY OF TRAINING CAMP & OFF TO PRISON!
By Dwight Short
Many of us had just known each other for two days and we wound up a busy training camp by going to Lansing (Kansas) Correctional Facility to play against their team.

Eight check points later and we are in the LCF gymnasium with 20 players on the prison team and 80 to 100 inma...

Know when to leave
Dear Dave,I'm 25 years old and have served in the military for seven years. I'm not sure I like what I'm doing as much as I did a few years ago, plus I've had some pretty exciting opportunities come my way in another field. Do you think it would be worth it to stay in for another 13 years just to get full retirement benefits?Wayne
Dear Wayne,It's really simple. If you love it,...
