Dear Beckham, What a month! A lot happened this month and it is definitely the first month you changed the most! This was the first month I was your mommy full-time. I’ve been missin’ out!

MONEY is a huge concern in our nation. Do you know that the Bible speaks of money more than 800 times? Do you know that 70% of all Americans live paycheck to paycheck?
