JESUS CHRIST

Now is a good time to do a “road check” or a “gate check.” “for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many there be which go therein. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way that leads to life and few there be that find it” (Matt. 7:13-14) Get to know personally the Jesus Christ of the Bible, the One revealed to us in Paul’s writings. Read with your eyes, believe with your heart.

Simple tips to improve your status with mortgage lenders

report before deciding if you are a risk or a safe bet for a mortgage. So it makes sense to check your credit report prior to speaking with a lender. The Federal Trade Commission says everyone can get one free credit report a year from each of the three credit reporting bureaus. If you split it up, you can get a credit report every four months so you are aware of anything that may adversely affect your ability to get a mortgage loan. A credit (FICO) score that's too low may disqualify you from a mortgage. Each lender sets its own thresholds when they price and approve loans, but the higher your credit score, the better.

paying rent, as late rent payments can bar you from getting a mortgage. Lenders look at rent history as the biggest indicator of whether you'll make mortgage payments on time. These are some of the ways to make a prospective home buyer look better in the eyes of mortgage lenders. Individuals can speak with nancial professionals about what else they can do to improve the possibility of securing mortgages at the best rates possible.

asked to think of modern homes, many people might think of minimalism, neutral colors, open concept oor plans, and large windows without treatments. While each of those features are components of modern homes, just what quali es as "modern" is ever-changing and often a re ection of what buyers are looking for. And lately, many buyers are looking for all-electric homes.

A 2015 study by the U.S. Energy Information Administration found that the number of all-electric homes had increased over the previous decade. In fact, the EIA study found that 25 percent of homes in the United States used only electricity. All-electric homes are generally considered more environmentally friendly because they lessen homeowners' carbon footprint by reducing their need for fossil fuels like natural gas. Electric heat pumps, induction stoves and electric replaces are just some of the technologies that can be found in all-electric homes.

Though the design style of all-electric homes needn't be modern, there's no denying that the growing popularity of such homes makes them an option for homeowners with modern sensibilities.

Owning a home is a dream shared by millions of people. Investing in property that can be owned within 15 to 30 years of closing on the home makes more nancial sense to many than continuing to rent and having little to show for it over time.

The rst step to take when planning to enter the real estate market is to ensure that your nances are in order. Various factors will in uence individuals' ability to secure a mortgage, and these are some ways to make yourself more attractive to prospective lenders.

Check your credit report. Lenders will check your credit

Improve credit standing. One way to improve your status in the eyes of lenders is to pay down credit card balances to reduce your credit utilization ratio. A high utilization occurs when there is a high balance in relation to the credit limit, says Business Insider. Also, it may be wise to avoid any credit inquiries through new credit card applications for several months before applying for a loan, as these inquiries can affect your score.

Be realistic about what you can afford. Do your homework and determine your target interest rate and monthly payment as well as what down payment you can afford. It will help you research potential lenders and provide an idea of what may be offered to you.

Pay bills on time. Paying bills promptly not only helps you avoid late fees, but also positively affects your credit. Thenancial resource The Mortgage Reports urges diligence when

How to throw a last-minute dinner party

Do you feel like having a party? A spur-of-the-moment desire to host friends or family is not uncommon. Though it may be ideal to give yourself a few days to plan a dinner party and assemble what’s needed to be your best host, sometimes inspiration strikes and compels people to throw last-minute dinner parties.

In such instances, these tips for putting together a feast on the y can be especially valuable.

Keep it simple. Build your menu around your own specialty, ideally one that is easy to prepare. Don’t try out that fancy new cookbook recipe right now. Singlepot casseroles or pasta dishes whip up in a ash and can feed a crowd.

Stock essentials at home. It’s easier to invite people over at the last minute if you don’t have to shop for supplies. Keep a running inventory of foods that can be brought out at a moment’s notice, such as items that may go on a charcuterie platter. Olives, block cheeses, crackers, salad xings, cured meats, and fresh vegetables can be arranged in a heartbeat. With a can of chick peas, some garlic, lemon juice, and parsley at the ready, you can quickly create a homemade hummus, too.

Consider a potluck. Guests may want to help out if they are invited over on short notice. A potluck is a perfect way to ll a table with food with minimal effort, as everyone contributes a little something.

Clean the visible rooms. There likely won’t be time to clean your entire home before an impromptu party. Therefore, focus on the kitchen, dining area and guest

bathroom.

store

on other spaces that are off-limits

Get the kids involved. If you have children, give them jobs to help out. They can set tables, ll ice cube trays or run the vacuum over high-traf c areas. Removing some tasks from your to-do list can free your time for other needs.

Scour your home. Create interesting place settings or a festive table with items you already have on hand. Consider using food as functional decor on a table. A bowl of lemons makes an eye-catching centerpiece.

Gather errant items from around the house and
