It’s A New Year. Time For A Fresh Start! 2008 Recap.

It’s a new year, and this week we all have a fresh start.  Whether it’s time to get back on that workout regimen or time to kick-start a new financial plan – and a budget, it’s time for new beginnings.

At our household, we’re getting back into a regular workout plan, and healthy eating.  Last night we used our last gift card to eat out at Olive Garden, and today we start eating healthy again.  Those breadsticks were oh so good though!  Tonight,  I get back on that treadmill we’ve been using to hold our carpet down!

Finishing up 2008 with a bang!

December was another good month for Bible Money Matters. While our traffic was slightly down from November’s record month (because of the holidays?), we still enjoyed over 40,000 visitors and over 60,000 page views to the site. I’m happy with the progress we’ve been making, it’s encouraging, and keeps me posting!

• 66,130 page views
• Over 700 RSS subscribers for the first time!
• Page Rank updated to PR5!
• In 2008 we had over 263k visits and almost 400k page views!

Thank you to all of you that made this past year so amazing for me, it’s been a wild ride so far, and so much more fun than I ever could have imagined!  I look forward to an even better 2009!
