The First Georgia Tax Sale to Go Online!

Georgia Tax SaleGlynn County will be conducting on online tax sale on April 7, 2020. This is the first Georgia tax sale to go online that I am aware of. This will be a very interesting tax sale, since there are likely to be only a handful of properties left in the auction by the sale date. Bidders can register for the auction, bid, and research tax sale properties at Govease.com.

To register, you will have to fill out a w-9 form and provide a copy of your driver’s license and esign a bidder registration form and a bidder verification form. You do not need to submit a deposit in order to bid, but you do need to provide a proof of funds letter from your bank. You must also call the county to set up payment arrangements and your approval amount for bidding. Once approved you will be able to bid.

Govease.com has live webinar training for the Glynn County Georgia tax sale scheduled for Friday March 20, Monday March 23, Friday March 27, and Monday April 2. A live in person training session is scheduled for Monday April 2, at 8 a.m. in the W. Harold Pate Building at 1725 Reynolds St. Brunswick, Georgia. This is happening at a real opportune time for everyone with the limitations of personal contact in light of the COVID-19 epidemic. So perhaps other counties in the state of Georgia will follow suite.

Spirit Led Business Book Review

Spirit Led BusinessI just finished reading the book, Trust Your Heart: Spirit-Led Business by Marnie Pehrson Kuhns and going through the free course that the author created to go with the book. The book and course were created for the Christian businesswoman/entrepreneur. The ideas and strategies in this book, however, are really relevant to everyone, especially to people who are inspired creatives. If you are self-employed, have your own business, or thinking of starting one, this book is a must-read!

The author, Marnie Pehrson Kuhns, has been one of my mentors for over 10 years. She is a successful entrepreneur, who built a multiple 6-figure business and authored multiple fiction and non-fiction best-sellers, all while raising her brood of 6 children. This book is the culmination of her 30 years of experience as a self-made entrepreneur, and best selling author.

My favorite chapter is the one titled “You CAN Stay Focused, Complete Your Big Ideas, And Generate Income.” This chapter explains the 4 phases of the creative cycle and it taught me a lot about myself, and how I can be more productive and better at my business.

In the course that goes along with the book, there are downloadable worksheets to help you keep track of your ideas, projects, and daily tasks. There is also a worksheet that guides you in creating a mission statement to help you get clarity and focus. And there is so much more.

Find out more about the author and the book at MarniePehrson.com. Reading this book is like taking a business course in becoming a spirit-led entrepreneur, and it’s also great for just living a more spirit-led life!

In Honor of Saint Patrick’s Day

St. Patrick's Day SaleWho Was Saint Patrick?

Many people around the world celebrate Saint Patrick’s day but do they even know who this man was whose life they celebrate? Patrick was born in Scotland sometime around 387 AD. His parents were Romans living in Britain in charge of the colonies. As a young teenager, he was taken in raid by the Druids to Ireland. One source says that he tended and cared for sheep and another claimed that he tended his master’s pigs.

During his captivity he learned the language and practices of the Irish people. He also turned to God in prayer. Like the Israelite youth Joseph when imprisoned in Egypt, Patrick had dreams that guided him. He escaped his captivity after 6 years of slavery in Ireland when he was told by God in a dream to leave Ireland by going to the coast. Sailors took him back to his homeland where he was reunited with his family. But he had fallen in love with the Irish people. He had another dream where the people of Ireland were calling him back there and he felt a call to establish the church in Ireland. Continue reading

In Honor of Saint Valentine’s Day

Who was Saint Valentine?

How did Saint Valentine’s Day start and who was Saint Valentine? Saint Valentine was a real person, maybe even more than one person, who lived in the 3rd century and who’s death is celebrated on February 14. But what has that got to do with lovers, hearts and cupid? Well it doesn’t have anything to do with cupid, but here is where some of our St. Valentine’s Day traditions come from…

The stories that we have of St. Valentine, may be stories of the same person of 2 different clergymen that were both martyred  and buried along the Via Flaminia to the North of Rome sometime between 269 and 280 AD. Saint Valentine was imprisoned for performing Christian weddings and for aiding persecuted Christians. He was tolerated and even liked by emperor Claudius until he tried to convert the emperor and his household to Christianity. He was then sentenced to execution by being beaten with clubs, then stoned and finally beheaded.

Where did Saint Valentine’s Day Cards Originate?

At one point in his ministry, Valentine, the former bishop of Terni, a town of Umbria in central Italy was under house arrest with judge Asterius, who’s daughter Julia was blind. When Saint Valentine restored the sight of the judge’s daughter, he and his household were converted to Christianity. Later when Valentine was condemned to death by Claudius II, before his death, it is said that he left a note to Julia and signed it “Your Valentine.”

Another account of Saint Valentine maintains that he was a priest who secretly performed Christian weddings and that he was known to cut hearts out of parchment and give them to soldiers and persecuted Christians to remind them of God’s love. This could be where we get the tradition of sending hearts and heart shaped gifts on Valentine’s Day.

“St. Valentine is the Patron Saint of affianced couples, bee keepers, engaged couples, epilepsy, fainting, greetings, happy marriages, love, lovers, plague, travelers, and young people. He is represented in pictures with birds and roses and his feast day is celebrated on February 14.”

In Honor of St. Valentine and Other Who Are Martyred For Their Faith

You may think that the story of St. Valentine’s death is a brutal one and things like this only happened in the early days of Christianity. If so, you’d be wrong. There are more Christian martyrs today than in any time in history. According to Help The Persecuted (http://htp.org) 245 Million people around the world are in danger of being persecuted because of their belief in Jesus, and every 6 minutes a Christian is killed. They have a 3 minute video on their website and on YouTube where you can learn more and see what they do to help.

Another one of my favorite charities that serves persecuted Christians world wide is Voice of the Martyrs (www.persecution.com). The Voice of the Martyrs is a nonprofit, interdenominational Christian missions organization founded in 1967 by Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, who was imprisoned for 14 years in Communist Romania for his faith in Christ. You can read his story in Wurmbrand: Tortured For Christ the Complete Story.
