No, Blogger isn't related to financial planning - at least not for me :-) Though I wish I had shares in Google... but that's another story.
I've just had a very sobering and quite scary experience - reviewing my (our!) financial planning, what we're doing and what we should be doing to make sure we can retire happily, and be ok in the event of a nasty curve ball being thrown our way. Reviewing my finances usually sends me into a flat spin - more so since i married and have a baby boy on the way (i'm a worrier of note, i believe it's my single biggest stumbling block on the road to personal happiness. Idiot). Seeing what we had to put away to be able to retire comfortably was a serious wake up call - all I can say is thank God i've been putting money away for some time now, even if it's not nearly enough considering i'm about to be a dad in a family. Clair really calms me down at times like this - she's so wise, calm and trusting. We're still young, anything can happen in the future - including wonderful things - and at least we know where we're going now, and can plan for the future.
I will learn to trust fully in God!
On a separate note, I LOVE BLOGGER! Even more. Blogger has just Relaunched with a great new site, new features and options. I suppose this means more time spent tweaking my blog layout, and playing with features... it's like having a new gadget to play with:-)
And thus ends my 100th post.

Do not be anxious about anything; instead, through prayer and petition, and with thanksgiving, bring your requests before God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
