An Efamily member sent me this from Joel and Victoria - it made my day... Prayer!

Today’s Scripture

"Let the saints be joyful in glory; let them sing aloud on their beds." (Psalm 149:5, NKJV)

How to Start the Day

As you woke up this morning, what was the first thing that went through your mind? Did you wake up with a song of praise on your lips? When we start the day in worship, we start the day connected to Almighty God. When we live a lifestyle of praise, it shows that our faith is constantly in Him. We make glorifying God a priority. It’s not secondary, “Oh, if I have time.” No, you’re always talking about God’s goodness. You’re constantly telling your friends how God has blessed you. In your car, you’re singing songs of praise. At the office, under your breath, you’re thanking God for His favor. You get up in the morning and say, “God, I love You today. I praise You today. Thank You for another beautiful day.” Then when you go to bed at night, you bless Him for His faithfulness! Friend, when you have the high praises of God coming out of your mouth, the scripture says Almighty God will go to war against your enemies. Praise precedes the victory, so start the day right and live a lifestyle of praise!

A Prayer for Today

"Father, thank You for Your good and precious promises to me! I choose to receive Your goodness by faith and sing a song of praise to You. I commit the day to You and make praising You a priority. Thank You for working on my behalf in Jesus’ name. Amen."

FORBES -- The Lowest Paying College Majors are outside of STEM - lowest paid include criminal justice, sociology, education, music, social work, psychology, liberal arts, etc.

http://blogs-images.forbes.com/niallmccarthy/files/2017/05/20170502_College_Majors-1.jpg

The Lowest Paying College Majors In The U.S.  Nice infographic (above link) from Forbes: Many times kids say money does not mean anything to them but ask them how they want to live and they will say: vaca with friends, cars, apartments, dining out, going to concerts, clothes, hair, jewelry, smartphones, entertainment/movies, etc.....hmmmmmmm...that all takes money. Of course, if they really do not want those things and prefer to just follow their passion, then ok. And oh, better salaries will help pay back those student loans.

Niall McCarthy ,  Forbes, May 2, 2017

Contributor

Many college majors offer graduates excellent starting salaries with engineering degrees at the very top of the pay-scale. According to Glassdoor, the U.S. college majors with the highest average starting salaries in 2017 are Computer Science ($70,000), Electrical Engineering ($68,438) and Mechanical Engineering ($66,040). At the other end of the scale, however, quite a lot of college majors just don't pay off. Considering the extent to which college majors impact earnings, which ones should prospective students think twice about if they're after the big bucks?

If you want a major without a minor paycheck, the infographic shows 12 areas to avoid. Glassdoor found that both Criminal Justice and Kinesiology have especially low starting salaries for their graduates at $40,000. Exercise Science might keep you physically and mentally fit but it has the third-lowest median base salary of any U.S. major at $41,000. Interestingly, several science majors also appear on Glassdoor's list including Psychology ($41,500), Biology ($42,000) and Anthropology ($42,116).
