whom the sun sets free is free indeed. I hope that you are free today. We're gonna be talking about that. Welcome to Hope Today. I'm Tom Hollis. I'm here with Anna Frye. Anna, we are free in Christ. We've got a great guest coming up. We are free indeed. And today we have a guest that many of you are familiar with. Ginger Duggar Volo is the sixth child in the famous TLC show, 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On. She recently released her story of becoming free indeed. If you've ever felt embonded to religious rules instead of the freeing love of Jesus, her story is for you. She joins us in just a few minutes to share how to disentangle your faith and truly live in freedom. Tom, this is a big deal to break out of the rules-based religion and truly enjoy the rest and love of Jesus. It really is a big deal. I like that word disentangle because we are always trying to make a religion. I don't know what it is about human beings. We love religion. We love to make what should be a freedom and should be something Anna that is just a fantastic freeing, open, wonderful relationship. We like to make it rules, regulations. We like to make it, you know, it sounds funny for me to say that we like to do that, but we run to that. For some reason, people, we tend to run to what, give me the check off list of things to be approved by God and then I'll be fine. Yeah, right? Because I think as human beings, we have this tendency to desire control. Like if we can just check off all the boxes, then we are pleasing God, we're in line with God, but we fall short every single day and we can exhaust ourselves trying to be good enough to be in that pleasing presence of the Lord. But when we grasp the revelation that it's because of what Jesus did on the cross for us, that he took all of that to the grave, that when he rose back up and we accept him, that we are clothed in his righteousness. And so that when Jesus looks at you, he sees the perfect righteousness of Christ. And in that is true freedom. It's amazing grace for a reason, right? It's amazing grace. Well, it's gonna be a great conversation. We're gonna be sharing a little later about the freedom we have in Christ. Right now, we wanna do something that, we're commanded in scripture to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and there is much going on in Israel right now. Terroristic threats, unrest in the government. There's a threat from Iran. So Anna, this is something, quite often we don't think about it here on the other side of the world, but we're commanded to pray for Israel. Yeah, we are commanded to do that because as we see in scripture, like from the beginning of time, the Hebrews, the people, God's chosen people in Israel, those were his people. And so the enemy is always after those whom God has chosen and loved, which is all of us, but Israel through biblical history, we know that there has always been this target, like the attacks to just have that unrest and bring in that fear. Right, and so why don't you join us now? Let's take a moment, let's pray for Israel, pray for the peace of Jerusalem. So Father, we come before you and we ask, Lord God, that you would pour down your grace and mercy upon Israel, Lord. I pray for protection for that nation, Lord, against terroristic threats, against bombings, against Iran and its neighbors, so many of whom, all of whom, are sworn to destroy Israel and to try to wipe it off the map. Lord, we pray that you build a hedge of protection around them, Lord, that nothing shall by any means harm them, Lord. I pray, Father, for the peace of Jerusalem, that Jerusalem would have peace and it would become a joy in the earth and that those in Israel, Father, would know Jesus as their Lord and savior as well, Father. We just ask that you pour out your mercy, grace and love on Israel today. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen, continue to do that, just lift up Israel and bring Israel to the Lord. Yes, well, we're going to take a quick break, but when we come back, Ginger Duggar Volo joins us to share her story of becoming free indeed.

Our guest today, Ginger Duggar Volo is the sixth child in the famous TLC show, 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On. She joins us to share how she began to question the unhealthy ideology of her youth and learn to embrace true freedom in Christ. So Ginger, welcome to hope today. Thank you so much for having me. We're just so excited to dig into your new book and all the things that are on your heart to share. Your book Becoming Free indeed has gotten so much buzz. I know I have friends that cannot wait to hear all that you have. And so share a little bit. What is your heart behind writing this book? Yeah, I first had the idea to write this book because I had been walking out of some teachings from following a man, Bill Gothard, who claimed to have all these answers for a life but it just wasn't working out. And so I started to see these things weren't lined up with the Bible and it really challenged me. And I realized that so many other people were struggling with the same things that I was and maybe they didn't have the resources or the help to come out of it. And so I had a passion, a real desire to see others come to know the true, who truly Jesus was, not just to a teacher said he was. And in a lot of those burdens that I was carrying, I was able to lay down the weights of legalism, of man-made rules. I was able to lay those down once I saw who Jesus truly was in his word. And I desired for others to be able to come to that freedom in Jesus as well. Well, the Lord truly has given you such a platform to be able to speak the truth of the gospel. We see in our generations this deconstruction of the faith becoming such a trendy thing where they're such digging into deconstructing that so many are actually leaving their faith. But you say you're not deconstructing, you are disentangling. What is the difference? Yeah, so sadly so many have turned to that deconstruction movement that is very prevalent in today's time. But for me, I was wrestling with a lot of these, things that I was taught from a very early age and trying to figure out, okay, well, if this teacher says that this is how I'm gonna please God over here, and I don't see it in the word of God, then that needs to just be gone out of my life. That understanding of how God operates, like God's waiting to get me at any turn if I step outside of some box I didn't even know existed. So for that, it was interesting. I started to examine the word of God and to see, okay, well, I wanna know what God's word actually says. That way I can find freedom in the truth. But it's really hard to do that whenever you've been taught maybe a verse that a teacher's taught you that binds you and you feel like there's so much confusion there. It's hard to set that aside and still run to Jesus. And I felt like that was a challenge for me throughout the word of God because this teacher, Bill Gothard, had taught so many things that were outside of scripture but he would try to take a verse of the Bible to make it say whatever he wanted it to say. So for me, once I realized, okay, this teacher is not teaching me the word of God. He's not a Bible teacher. Then from there, going to the word of God and seeing what, comparing what he would say with the Bible was freeing for me, but it just took a lot of time. And I give this illustration because I feel like it's helpful whenever you get putty stuck in your hair, then you can totally just buzz your head, get rid of the putty, or you can take the time. It's painful, it's hard to pick out that putty and to keep your hair. And that's the same type of thing that I've been on this journey of disentangling, picking apart the truth from the error and clinging to Jesus. And that is my hope for anyone who has been in a place where they're just all mixed up in confusion. They have no clue what is up from down because of someone they followed who they felt was speaking the words of God but really wasn't, that they would just run to the Bible, run to the word of God, even in that brokenness and pain that they would find the true grace of Jesus. Yeah, the word is where it's at. Truly reading and understanding, studying the word of God. So you mentioned Bill Gothard a lot and his basic life principle teachings. For those of us who are not familiar with Bill Gothard, can you give just a little bit of background of where he sort of rose to fame and some of his basic life principles? Yeah, so Bill Gothard came on the scene in the 60s and 70s promising families a guarantee for success.  But if you don't, then your life will be one disaster after another. And like I said, it's such an interesting time in the 60s and 70s. Parents were terrified that their kids were gonna get involved in sex, drugs and rock and roll. And in that time, there was so much chaos, confusion. So parents were looking for something, a black and white answer for how their kids could thrive and succeed in the day and not fall into these traps of the world around them. So he said that he had the answers. And so parents would flock to these seminars. He would fill up massive stadiums of people who would come to hear his seminars. And I think in the early days, maybe it was harder to tell what he was actually saying because some of it sounded decently okay. He would say a couple of good things about we need to have good character in these days where kids are rejecting all authority and we need to submit ourselves to authority. And authority is a good thing. God has designed authorities, governments, even parental authority to an extent. But Bill Gother would take it a step further and would say, okay, therefore your kids need to stay at home to be under your authority. There are umbrellas of authority. They need to stay at home until they're married. Girls can never work outside the home. And so you would have all of these rules that he would add on that were not in the Bible. Bible was silent about those things, but parents held to that as their hope as opposed to just holding to the word of God as sufficient and enough to give their kids what they needed for life and godliness. So share with us a little bit how that played out for you as a young child growing up in that home. It was interesting. I think that I wrestled with a lot of fear because it was, these teachings were based really on fear, superstition, manipulation and control. So my mind was, okay, I want to glorify God. Once I was a believer at the age of 14, everything shifted and I was like, I really want to know God. I want to read the Bible. I want to share Jesus with my friends. And that shifted, but the thing that I couldn't figure out was, okay, well, what does God expect of me?  As opposed to realizing, okay, my heart is transformed. It longs to obey God. So I want to go to his word and see what God's word says. But there were so many of these rules in my head that it was hard for me to figure out which were man-made rules, which ones were and which ones were actually the word of God. So I remember some wrestling's even in, like how long should I read the Bible? Maybe for three hours. Maybe I should read it for two hours. I would feel like it was un-spiritual to sit down and watch a movie with my family or to go play a sport with my siblings. Maybe I need to stay home because I had this feeling I was supposed to stay home. And I would be terrified and in fear, the superstition thinking, okay, if I leave right now, God could kill me in a car accident because maybe I wasn't supposed to go. So it was all left up to me to figure out what I was supposed to do instead of just going to the word of God and saying, okay, I love Jesus. I want to obey him. And I need to also have fun with my siblings sometimes because then I'm not even loving them well. I can't even get to know my siblings because I'm a recluse reading the Bible 24-7. So there was a lot of imbalance and a lot of fear and uncertainty in my heart. Right. And so when did this shift begin to happen? There were a couple of key people that came into your life. Yeah, my brother-in-law, Ben, I began to notice that his family did some things a little different than us and they allowed their daughters to go to college, work outside the home. There were some smaller things like that that were big in my mind or wear pants or maybe the way that their church handled the word of God was different than our church. And they would go verse by verse through the Bible and look at the context of the word of God as a whole as opposed to just constantly picking out verses here and there to make it say what you wanted it to say. So I started to notice there was a difference but then also because Bill Godford had said that your life will be a success if you follow these principles but a disaster if you don't then I realized, okay, well, their lives aren't perfect but they're not falling apart like he promised. What's happening here? And how can they still love Jesus and be so committed to the word of God and be okay? So there were some of these things that I began to see but it wasn't until my now husband Jeremy came on the scene. He grew up in a different setting as well not around Bill Godford's principles and he had such a heart devotion to Jesus that I had never seen before. And I was so attracted to that. I really wanted to see more of, to have more of that love for God myself that was driven from like a heart motive not something that was outward and just the externals but he truly knew Jesus, he knew the Bible, he knew his word and I remember telling my mom when I was first interested in Jeremy I said, I feel safe with him. And it's not because of anything crazy that I think I would have held to before like, oh yes, he holds to these principles therefore I feel safe with him but he was totally outside of that which should have made me scared but it didn't because I saw his love for Jesus. So Ginger, for somebody who is feeling like they're just trapped in a set of rules or they're wondering if what they're hearing from church or from other Christian leaders is biblical how would you guide them to truly find that freedom and truth? Yeah, I would say it all comes down to going back to the word of God and examining it according to the word of God like the Bereans they would not just take in everything they heard and not open their Bibles and see if it was true but that's what I feel like so many today can easily do, we can all do that at times where it's like, okay, well I trust this teacher so I'm just gonna sit there and listen to what they have to say instead of like opening our Bibles and examining it with the word of God to see if it is true and I think reading the Bible as a whole in context will give a lot of help and direction in that because that was something that I think I was so comfortable just picking out a verse like don't wear that which pertains to a man, okay? So therefore I have to wear skirts at all times and thinking that's what I have to do to glorify God or picking out a verse about like some beat and it's like drums are sinful. Okay, well, where do you get that from? Where is it in the word of God? And so examining those things according to the Bible when you do then you can see, okay, well that's not founded in the word of God it's a man's opinion and I think the more that we're in the word of God the more that God reveals that to us through his word and I think that's something that I saw the more I was in the word of God it made me more excited because I started to have a bigger view of God as opposed to like, okay, I'm gonna see myself in every text of scripture, it was different, it shifted it was like, wow, God is such a great God he's all powerful I can see his work throughout history and throughout the world not to say the God's word doesn't speak to us at certain times like there are things where it's like, oh man, I could be having a terribly rough day and come to the word of God the Psalms are so amazing because they minister to our souls like no other in those deepest, darkest valleys but at the same time it's like I want everything that I'm reading to be like, okay I wanna focus on when was this written who is it written to and reading stuff in context can really help Yeah, absolutely. Right, God's word is his love story to us and Ginger, we just appreciate you sharing your testimony seeing where God has brought you today to live in this freedom, fullness, joy, peace and that lasting relationship with Jesus that is not rule-based but love-based and grace-based so thank you so much for just your heart for your courage to share your journey and we just pray all the many blessings on you thank you so much for being with us.

You know, Anna, just hearing Ginger's story has really ministered to me about the freedom in Christ. And I just want to take a few minutes to talk to you. You know, I started off by saying that he who the sun sets free is free indeed. But I want to share a little bit more about that. And where I wanted to go was, let's talk about the first time that Jesus is announced. It's the angel announcing to the shepherds about Jesus's birth. It's in Luke chapter two. You've heard Linus say it and you've heard a lot of people saying, here it is. I bring you good news of great joy. Stop there for a second. Good news of great joy. Good news of great joy, which shall be to all people for unto you in the city of David has been born for you a savior who is Christ the Lord. So let's talk about that. What is this good news? What is it? Is it that we've got rules that we have to follow? Well, yeah, there are commands, but is that the essence of the good news?  Is that what the good news is? No, that's not what the good news is. So let's talk a little bit about what the good news is. First point, God loves you and has a future and a hope for you. Can you just stop right there and say, I know that God loves me. Anna, some people can wrestle with this, whether or not, you know, has you ever struggled with does God love me or did you have a good idea of that always? Yeah, I just, I think that in our desire to please God we can really get caught up in this perfectionism and that and when we fail, when we feel like we fail, then are we pleasing God? Is he still love me? Yeah, and I can remember being there, okay? And Ginger was certainly there because of the religious system she kind of got locked into. Now, look, everybody was trying to do the right thing. They were just going about it the wrong way. And one of the things we can do very easily, as I mentioned before, is we can try to build a checklist of how we can be approved by God, but that's not the good news. That's not what God came and that Jesus died on the cross for you. That's not the good news. What the good news is, is that he died on the cross that you can know God. And guess what? He's awesome. You can know God and he's awesome. That's a fantastic thing to get to know God. That's the most creative being in the universe, duh. He's the most exciting being in the universe. He never comes to an end. He's infinite, he's wise, he has all knowledge, all wisdom, all joy. And you can know that God. And the other point, the other good news is you can be reconciled to your father. Many of us had good fathers, I did. Some of us didn't. Some of us had fathers that were far apart from us. And they didn't really know what to do and some were abusive, but God is not like that. But we're a far, we're a far off. Think of the prodigal son, far off from his father, but reconciled back. The good news, that there's a God who loves you and has great plan for you, that you can know him and you can be reconciled back to him and that you can know this God and he's awesome. So let me ask you a second. Why are most people not experiencing this good news of great joy? Well, it's because there's a problem. And this is before we ever know the Lord. There's a problem and that's sin. And we've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. So we all need to be reconciled. So just take that time today to cry out to God and say, Father, come into my heart. Jesus, come into my life, be my Lord and Savior and I will follow you and do your plan. Not someone else's plan, not someone else's religion, but your plan to follow that I'll follow and you will lead me to the path of joy. That's what we need, Anna. Yeah, the Bible says that perfect love casts out all fear. If you're battling a level of fear today, run close to the Father's heart. His love for you is perfect. It is beyond anything that we can comprehend. Believe me when I say he delights in you. He sings over you. He desires to have intimate relationship with you and build you up again. Whatever this world has put on you, it has been washed away through the blood of Christ. In Jesus is rest, in Jesus is freedom and in Jesus is the life you've always wanted. So run to him today and let him overwhelm you with his love. Thanks for being with us. On tomorrow's Hope Today, explore eight surprising secrets to attaining a stronger intimacy in marriage. Speaker and author Shanti Feldhahn provides insight into what helps couples maintain a strong and healthy relationship. That's tomorrow on Hope Today.

Hey y'all, welcome to what Chelsea eats. Thank you so much for joining me today I am going to share with you how to make this beautiful salad with this Asian dressing. Oh my goodness This is so good y'all and like always I will put the ingredients the recipe link and All the tools that I used for this recipe down in the description box But if you'd like to see how I make it stay tuned So here are the ingredients I used first is coconut aminos almond butter unsweetened and unsalted next is heirloom tomatoes I love heirloom tomatoes because they're just juicier and this is a greenish red one they come in different colors and Also, you don't have to use an heirloom tomato You can use whatever kind of tomatoes you have on hand or you can just leave tomatoes out next ingredient for a bit of sweetness are two kiwis Love kiwis, especially this time of year because they're in season and they're really sweet and they're not hard Next is A english cucumber that's about a half of an english cucumber Love those cucumbers a little bit better than the other varieties But you can use whatever type of cucumber you would like Next we have a small avocado Some walnuts Some hemp seeds A couple tablespoons of water And last but not least Is our lettuce varieties first we're going to use some boston lettuce, which is a very tender lettuce It's also a little sweeter than other lettuces. So if you have not tried boston lettuce, you should definitely try it The other lettuce variety that we're going to use is a 50-50 mix and this is just mixed greens and it has baby lettuces in it and baby spinach We're going to start with our mixed greens as you guys know. I like to cut the greens in small like ribbon type cuts so that I can add as many greens To the bowl as I possibly can You don't have to cut your lettuce at all But the more you cut it the more you're going to be able to eat And for this recipe you can add Three to four handfuls of mixed greens This salad is also for two people Now we're going to work with our boston lettuce The first thing we're going to do is um get it prepared so we can wash it Because you have to wash head lettuce So we're going to take out The plug is what I call it on the bottom with boston lettuce. It's easy to just pull it out Now we're just going to start slicing it. I'm going to roughly chop it. I'm not going to make it really small Just so that it adds a little bit different texture to the salad You notice the difference between how I cut the mixed greens and how I cut The boston lettuce head I'm just adding it to the salad spinner. I absolutely love having a salad spinner because It helps with washing and drying the lettuce really quickly now all i'm doing is Putting the lid on the salad spinner so that I can Get some of the water off. I've already rinsed the lettuce. I'm just gonna spin it Hit the stop button take the lid off Lift the basket out And then drain the water my sink is right to my right So i'm putting back in there and then i'm gonna do it a second time just to make sure All of the excess water is out. You see how i'm like spinning it really quickly And I've stopped it I'm gonna take the lid off again And then Pour that little excess water out and now all I have to do is just add the lettuce to the bowl That's it. That was really fast. I wasn't sitting there with towels or paper towels Trying to dry the lettuce off and i'm gonna tell you one of the things that used to deter me from making Salad was having to wash and dry the lettuce and having to take all that time This salad technically took me about less than 15 minutes to make and Like I think that was really fast And of course it took me longer to prepare the video, but if I was just making the salad I know I could have gotten it done in less than in less than 10 minutes It's that easy when you get a system down. It's not difficult to make salad So i'm only going to use half of this large heirloom tomato i'm gonna Cut it in half And chop it I think the inside of heirloom tomatoes looks so interesting and beautiful So i'm gonna only have half of this one. So i'm gonna chop it up And put it in a salad Now i'm gonna take my chopped tomatoes and add them to the salad bowl I like to Make my salads pretty, but You don't have to do it. All you have to do is just dump the vegetables in the bowl if you would like to Next we're adding the cucumber And really you can use whatever cucumber you like and as I mentioned before my favorite are English cucumbers So use whatever you'd like if you don't like cucumbers you can use zucchini instead What I like most about cucumbers is that they add a crunch To the salad and the other thing is they are good for your skin nails and your hair So if you're having trouble with those three things or one of those things adding cucumber is a great thing to do For your life it will help and especially drinking cucumber juice Also, if you all have not seen my juicing e-book You probably should check it out if you're looking to regrow your hair or to minimize Vibrate symptoms.  So I'm just cutting it Ink to cubes and I'm just going to scoop it out And add it to the salad Next we're going to add in one to two tablespoons of hemp seeds And also one to two tablespoons of walnuts And these are going to give you your healthy fats your proteins and your omega three and six vitamins So don't be afraid to use These nuts and seeds in your salad. They also give your salad a crunch and hemp seeds also give your salad a flavor That is similar to cheese Now we're going to make the dressing One to two tablespoons of almond butter Just get unsweetened unsalted almond butter And you add it to the bowl Next we're going to add coconut aminos And you want to use about one to two tablespoons of this But the reason you want to use coconut aminos over soy sauce is because soy is very bad for the body Especially if you're fighting Vibrate symptom and then you just want to mix that until it's well combined You'll probably have to add some water to thin it out a little bit More or less to taste Or how it really depends on how thick you like your dressing Just keep stirring until it's thinned out And the consistency that you like Okay, there you have it this beautiful salad That is fibrous friendly with this Asian dressing that is easy simple and delicious If you like this video, please give it a thumbs up share it with a friend and don't forget to subscribe Until next time y'all take care much love


QuickBooks Online 2022, a budgeted income statement export to excel and modify part number two. Get ready because it's go time with QuickBooks Online 2022. Here we are in our get great guitars practice file. We set up with a 30 day free trial holding down control, scrolling up a bit to get to the one to five percent. We're currently in the home page otherwise known as the get things done page in the business view as compared to the accounting view. If you want to change to the accounting view, it's something you can do by going to the cog up top, switch to the accounting view down below. We will be toggling back and forth between the two views either here or by jumping to the sample company file currently in the accounting view. Back to the get great guitars open in a few tabs to put reports in. We're just going to open two tabs this time, right-clicking on the tab up top to do so, duplicating it back to the tab to the left, right-clicking again and duplicating again. As that is thinking, let's see what the reports are located over here in the accounting view, which is on the reports on the left-hand side. Jumping back on over to the business view for get great guitars. We're in the second tab. We're going to go into the business overview. We're just going to open up two reports this time in the reports area, income statement and the trial balance closing up the hamburger. Let it think a little bit. Let it think. Don't rush it. And then we're going to go into the profit and loss or the income statement, profit and loss or income statement range change up top 010122 to 022822 and run it. We'll go to the tab to the right and then back down to the business overview. We're going into the reports closing up the hamburger this time searching for the trustee trial balance, the good old T to the B going into it and we'll do the range change up top from 010122 to 022822 and run it. And the prior presentation, we discussed that we're going to be doing a budget for the income statement or based on the income statement, income statement type budget. The budget you'll recall being found in the first tab. If we go to the cog up top, that's where the budget is, but we need the information to implement the budget. And if we have any kind of a complexity with the budget, if we're not just going to copy the prior period, exactly, then we might want to export it to Excel, which is what we have done here. Think about the adjustments and then put them back into the system using this area so that we can then run reports in Excel, including a budget versus actual report as time passes. So what we did is we exported the income statement, but not this income statement because it has all these subtotals. We want just a straight plain income statement with all the subtotals that are involved in the actual report. Therefore, we exported the trial balance and formatted it to, in essence, a single step income statement even more simplified than that. In essence, positive numbers, income, negative numbers, expenses. And then we got the bottom line number that ties out to net income for our two month time period here, 1-3-2-4-0-5. It looks like this. So there's our income statement 1-3-2-4. We don't have the 0-5 because we got rid of the pennies because it's just a budget. So if we're going to now assume, if I go back to the income statement, this is actually what happened. This is our actual data for January and February. That's what actually happened in our practice problem. We're going to kind of assume that this data that we put into Excel is the data from the prior period, which would be November and December, so that we can then base a 12 month budget on it and then put that 12 month budget into the system and run actual versus the budget reports for the two month period that have passed in our practice problem January and February and then just budgeted numbers out past that point. So let's go back on over to the income statement. This is where we have. Now this is going to be some Excel stuff here. I know it's not an Excel course. I'm going to do it fairly quickly, but just to give you an idea of what we're going to do here for the budget, I want to take this. I know this is two months of data. I'm going to imagine it's prior two months of data for November and December and then use it to budget out into the future for the next 12 months. So to do that, I'm going to put some headers up top. I'm going to put my cursor on column one. I need to get up above that. So I'm going to right click on it and insert so I can put some headers and I just want to put my dates up top for the headers. I'm going to close this one up a little bit. I don't need this long of a title. And notice I have some accounts down here that they're showing that their parent accounts. So this one is actually general business expense and is the category and then it's got the subcategory of bank fees and services. I don't really need that first category. So some of these, I might make them smaller by just saying, I really only need the actual account, which is the sub-account. These two like payroll expenses. It doesn't really bother me because it's not too long there. But that first one was super long. And so I'm going to get rid of it. Get it out of here. Get it out. I'm going to scroll up a little bit. Okay. So now we're going to say this is going to be Jan and Feb. I'm going to put my cursor on those two, selecting them, grab that auto fill handle, drag that all the way to the right till we get to December because we're doing a 12 month thing here. November, December. There it is. Before I click anywhere else, I'm going to go to the home tab, alignment while those are selected and center them. I'm also going to make them black and white, which is what I often do for the header areas to distinguish them from the non-header areas by going to the home tab, font group, paint brush thing or paint bucket thing. And there's that. And then the letters need to be white if they're going to stand out.  You need the contrast to make things work. So now we're going to then say that we got to divide the two. Now this is two months. So the most basic thing I can do, the most basic budget is to take basically the last year's budget, if it was 12 month, divide it by 12 and say that's what you expect to happen on a monthly basis going forward. Or you could get a little bit more specific. You could say what exactly happened on a month by month basis for the last 12 months I expect to happen for the next 12 months. I'm going to start with that first kind of baseline except I only have two months of data. So I'm going to start just populating our budget and say I'm just going to say whatever is over here, I'm going to divide it by two because this is two months and these are all one month and then that'll be my baseline for my 12 month projection going out into the future. It'll look something like this. This equals the prior tab divided by two. So there it is. The next one would be equal to the prior tab divided by two. The next one of course would be equal to the prior tab divided by two and so on and so forth. So now the question is well how can I do that as easily as possible? So there's a couple of different methods you could do. For example you could go to the second tab all the way over here and it's always going to be equal to the one prior to it and that way you could copy it across this way and I can even copy it down this way. That's one method pretty easy to do. The other method is you could say well I can use an absolute method. I'm going to delete that and say I'm going to double click on this and make that absolute by saying the F4 on the keyboard or dollar sign before the B and the two and that will allow me to copy it across this way so I could do that to each one of the cells because absolute reference means don't change this cell. Always pick up that 200 and that's what it's going to do so it's going to pick up the 200 or I could use the mixed reference. I could say well how can I just do the minimum amount of things. I can delete these two below. I want to be able to just do the minimum amount here and be able to copy it both down and to the right. For that we can use a mixed reference and I could say okay if I move to the right I don't want the B to move. That's what the dollar sign is before the B but when I move down over here on the rows I do want it to move so I don't want a dollar sign before the two so I can allow that to move like it normally would and that's going to be the shortest way that we could just copy this all the way through and get what we would expect to get I hope. So let's try it out. If I copy it to the right you could see if I double click on it it says okay yeah took that same cell B2 because the B didn't move and I didn't move down so the two is not a problem in this case and then divided by two. If I copy it down this way then we're going to say does that work we're going to say if I double click on that yeah took this one divided by two because the B column didn't move but the three moved down the two went to three which is what we want and the two divided by two remains the same. So I can copy that all the way across then I can say alright let's just copy this down all the way to here not to the net income line this is the total line right down there and all the way across we could double check it and say does that do what we want it sure does do what we wanted it to so let's let's then I'm going to select this whole column then and copy it all the way to the right all the way to the right till we get to December which I can't see I went too far that's okay I'll just delete these last couple columns we'll just clean that up clean it up delete and then we'll have a total on the end totown the tote I'm going to copy the formatting over here which is in the homepage clipboard format painter let's copy the format bring it on over and then I'm going to sum up on this side equals the sum the trusty sum function you could double click here or I like using the keyboard whenever possible because it's more geeky as long as it makes me look more geeky that's what I'm looking for and then I go to the left I'm holding down shift and then go into the left with my arrows not to not to this 200 but to this 100 through January and then enter and then we can copy that we could do that with it with the arrow too but I'll do that with a mouse so we can see it right click and copy and then I'm going to paste that all the way down control the so there's our totals and then we can sum it up this way did I sum it up we could sum up the net income so this net income for example is all this we could sum up this net income and you might want to make this whole column a different color just to show that it's like your source data we possibly should have even put a space between it but let's make it like this is like my source data numbers a different color we'll put some brackets around it ok and then we'll sum up over here equals the sum of these this column and we'll copy that and then I'll just copy that all the way across to the right putting my cursor on it the fill handle grabbing the fill handle left clicking on it getting the firm grip and dragging it all the way to the right so now we've got that double clicking on it looks good I can double check this last number by summing it this way too I could sum it this way for all the totals to see that it should come out to the same number there it does that gives me my double check put two checks by that one if you would because I double checked it that's what I'm talking about and then I can put an underline font group and underline ok so there we go that looks good and then this that's my totals alright that's the starting point now we might want to say ok based on my other kind of things that could happen based on the economy for example based on what I'm going to do for my purposes in terms of increasing production, increasing prices lowering prices, advertising what kind of changes do I expect to be happening so there's a couple kind of ways these changes could take place on a kind of systematic way you could say well maybe maybe I'm going to have this amount increase by like a percentage amount for example you might say well I think it's going to increase by some consistent rate as we go forward that's one way you might think of it or you might say well I think it's going to go up by a specific dollar amount each time that's another common way that you'd say I'm just going to increase it by this dollar amount each time or you might say that well those are basically going to be the common two ways based on the items where on the expense side we think we're going to have them incurred at one month in the middle or something like that and you could have some differences if you're thinking about a cash basis method versus an accrual basis method on how you might construct the budget and how your bookkeeping are going to be set up from a cash to an accrual basis kind of component as well in essence it would be nice if you can actually do two budgets a cash basis budget and an accrual basis budget for the most kind of basis being covered so let's look at a couple of these kind of methods we might see I'm going to keep the first one as it is and then on the second one that's when I'm going to be saying that I'll keep January the same and then think that February is going to increase by 5% let's say we think that for the equipment rental it's going to increase by 5% all the way through so how can we calculate that well if January is going to be the same we're going to say right January is 1130 it's going to increase times 5% plus .05 that's going to be 56.5 so then if I add that to the 1130 that's going to be the 1186 so that would be the 1186 I could get there a little bit faster but by saying well if I took 100% 1 plus the .05 that would be 105% or 1.05 times the 1130 that would give us the 1186 a bit faster allowing us to put a formula in place here so in February this time I'm going to change it I'm going to say this equals the one before it and then multiply it times the 1.05 so February I expected to go up to the 1187 so 1187 then I can just copy that I can put my cursor on the fill handle and it'll always take the one before it times the 1.05 not to the total but down to the December and there we get our 17 986 so that's one kind of way that we might see that it increase let's do the same kind of thing for this one we're going to say in February it's going to increase let's say it's going to increase by 10% so I'm going to do in February same kind of thing this is going to equal the prior period times 0.1 and again where do I get 10% how do I think it's going to increase by 10% we're going to have to do some projections on the economy we're just basically trying to think what could possibly happen based on whatever information that we have so we can project out into the future and see if we can determine any kind of trends that are happening that will help us with our calculations let's do this one so that looks good I'm going to put my cursor on this one on the fill handle and drag it all the way across through December so there we have it now the next one let's try the next one a little bit different we might say well I think this one is going to increase by a steady $1,000 per month for whatever reason instead of increasing by a rate so I'm just going to say I'm just going to increase it by the same $1,000 each month so I'm going to double click on this one and say I think this is going to be the prior sell time plus $1,000 plus $1,000 and I'll take that one all the way across on the service revenue that's another way that we might do a pretty simple calculation that will be uniform across our entire budget next we have the cost of goods sold now the cost of goods sold is linked to the income from the products here so if we say that there's an increase in the income of the products of 10% per period you would expect the cost of goods sold to follow that unless we're changing our price levels meaning you would expect the difference or the relationship between sales and the cost of goods sold to be related if you're selling basically inventory unless again you're changing the level of the inventory that you're selling so in other words if I'm saying that cost of goods sold here was $22,977 divided by the sales price of the $29,226 that would be 78.61% is the cost of the goods that we're selling I would think that that would be remaining constant going through unless we did some kind of change to the sales price so what we're going to do here is we're going to say let's say that this is going to take the same level increase as we saw with the sale of the income so I'm going to go in February this equals the prior sale times the 1.1 and so that's going to increase to the 25 I'm going to copy that across but before I do let's double check it we were at the .761 so you would think then that the 25275 divided by the 32148 the increase in the product would still be the .7862 or so on and so it looks like it's doing what we would expect let's copy it across we'll put our cursor on that sale grab the fill handle drag it to the right there we have the cost of the goods that are sold now a lot of the expense accounts we would expect to be basically the same all the way across especially if we're using like an accrual type of method because you expect them to be somewhat similar so if I go everything below this bank service charges $18 it's probably in material for budgeting purposes in other words probably not big for decision making purposes so $18 I'll keep that all the way across that's fine the insurance now the insurance is one of those types of things where if you're on a cash basis method you might say hey I'm going to pay the insurance periodically whereas if you're on an accrual basis method then you're going to have the uniform insurance across the board let's just imagine more of a cash basis method here just to switch things up so you might say for example you've got the 1000 here let's just imagine insurance is going to be paid we're going to say on February I would say it was a $6000 payment in February that we're going to have we'll have another 6000 in September so if you're on more of a cash basis that's going to be the full 1212 right there so you might do something like that to kind of better better calculate if you're on but so we'll just do that for that one just to see how you could have un-uniform items if you're on an accrual basis that you're doing in likely it being more of a uniform kind of basis so if we look at the rest of them we've got the internet expense we would think would be somewhat constant we're going to say that the payroll let's imagine a payroll that the other kind of change you might have is you might say okay I think payroll will be constant but maybe like somewhere in the middle say like July I expect to increase payroll and so you might have a step up in the expenses because you're going to level up on your payroll at that point in time so you might say okay maybe in July that's when I think it's going to level up at that point and jump to the next level so you might say this is going to be the prior point let's say for it right here times that 1.1 so it's going to increase by the 10% there and then for the rest of the time period it's going to be equal to that same amount and it'll be at that new tier level at that new step and we'll copy that all the way across here now if that happens to the payroll then you would think you might have the same kind of relationship just for an estimate for payroll taxes which get quite complex the payroll taxes but in theory you might say okay well if the payroll taxes before this is my portion of the payroll taxes Social Security and Medicare were whatever percent I could say well if the payroll taxes here were 486 divided by the 6983 then they're about 0.0695% of the payroll so you would think then that same amount times the 7682 would be about the increase here so you would think maybe payroll taxes would be the 534.6 or 535 let's say on the payroll taxes right because you would say the relationship would be the same if I'm here it's 535 divided by the payroll 7682 would be 0.0696 versus prior it was 486 divided by the 6983 was the 0.0695 and whatever and so on so that's the idea there so then I'll just copy those across let's say after that this is going to be equal to the prior one and this is going to be equal to the prior one not negative of it and then we'll put our cursor on the fill handle there and drag it across so dragging it across so that's where we stand on the payroll and the taxes back to the left supplies would be much the same we would expect we're going to say utilities we're going to keep it much the same the gain now the gains was a sale of stock and we're not in the business of selling stock we're in the business of selling guitars so maybe we're thinking that's a one-time thing we don't expect gains to happen and we're not really planning on the gains that's just some income that's why it was in other income so maybe I just delete this altogether so I'm just going to remove the gains for the sale of stock and then the depreciation would be according to the depreciation schedule so we might want to make we could go through and make that more specific according to whatever depreciation schedule we're on if it's a straight line double declining we might get that from the tax preparer that would be an accrual component by the way as opposed to a cash component but we're going to keep it the same here and then the interest expense that would depend on the type the level of financing that we're going to have we might expect it to actually decrease if we think we're not going to include any more financing but just simply be paying off the loan because we would be paying off the balance so let's imagine that one is actually going to go down so if I go to like February here we might say we're going to take the prior month times 0.95 so it's going to decrease because we're taking 95% of the prior area instead of increasing where we took like 110% in the past so I'm going to say that goes down to the 318 let's copy that across put our cursor on that and copy it across so we have that decreasing okay so let's just use this this might be something we can use to then implement notice the bottom line down here the net income this was our two month time frame this is in essence the one month time frame for January we didn't really have any changes we just divided by two and then we have this loss here for the 6000 that's why it's useful to kind of look at a cash flow basis too because that can be an impact you're going to need cash flow if you're going to be having a loss on one of the months possibly and then we've got our net income here we're just summing up the total and then the net income is going up as we have the increases in our revenue and so we're thinking here it's going to end up at that 125 964 summed up this way which we can double check summing it up that way so now we've got our month by month breakout that we can put into our our QuickBooks system so I'm going to go let's make it a little bit nicer I'm going to put some brackets around this entire thing let's take this whole thing and put some borders around it why not and then we're going to take that we're going to go to the home page font group I'm going to put some borders around it so that looks good and then our totals are on the right hand side here if your numbers don't tie out to these totals then you could change them to these totals if you want or try to figure out what the difference is but we're just going to use this as practice anyway we're not going to change any data in the QuickBooks file so you could use whatever you want to do to practice with the budget would be fine this would just be how you might think about putting together a 12 month budget that you can then do the data input which we'll do next time back into the QuickBooks system


Hello. Welcome to Stories and Art for Children here at ACMI, TV and Arlington. My name is Peggy and this is my friend Little Bear and we have two great stories to tell you today. One is real and one is not. Which do you want to hear first? Well, that doesn't really matter. Tell me, well, what are they about? Well, they're about mice. This is a story, the real one. It is called Desmond Gets Free. It's about a mouse? Yes, it is. What do you got up by your shoulder? I saw you stick something there.   Oh, he's so cute. Oh, I like mice. Why are people scared of them? I don't know. I think it's because they surprised them.  No, never, never, never. Well, guess what? The other night, here is the story I want to tell you about. That is the real one. A little mouse came running across the room in my bedroom and I saw him and all of a sudden I was kind of scared. Really? Just of a little mouse? Yes, but you know what, little bear? We were told we were supposed to catch them in our building and trap them. And a few years ago, you know what I did? What did you do? Well, I bought this kind of a trap and everybody had these and we were catching mice in them. Oh, that's too bad. But then this year, this little mouse was so cute. You know what? I told a friend about it and he said, I have a book for you and I think you should get a humane trap. What's that mean?  See, there's food in here right there inside and then you go like that, click and the little mouse goes in there. Oh, he gets trapped? Yes. If this starts to work, he does. And then, what are you going to do with the mouse? Well, I'm going to take him outside and I'm going to let him go free. Just like something that happened in this story book.  Yes. But will you tell me what happens with your mouse? Yes, one day I will, but I haven't caught him yet.  What? Pretzels and granola. That's weird. Okay, let's get to the story right now. I'm going to put you down over here. Will you listen? Yes, I want to hear the other story. Okay, so everybody, we're going to tell you a nice mouse story and then afterwards, to make the story last a little longer, we're going to have an art lesson and I'm going to teach you how to draw mice that you've seen in other stories. So let's look at the story about Desmond right now. Okay, so little bear, you're going to sit right over here. Okay. So I'm going to put him down right there and put my glasses on and let's see what happens. This is a story about Desmond gets free. Desmond, the mouse, lived in the most beautiful meadow in all the land. There's little Desmond. Every morning Desmond woke with the sunrise and would spend the day playing in the meadow. And every evening Desmond would go to sleep in the middle of that meadow underneath a beautiful starry sky. He looked so comfortable there. One night though Desmond awoke when it was still dark out. He tried to roll over and move to a more comfortable spot but something wasn't right. Desmond realized that his tail was stuck right to the ground and he was beginning to throb with pain. He felt behind him and there was this huge boulder that seemed to have fallen in the middle of the meadow just on his tail. Oh my! Desmond pushed on the boulder and tugged on his tail. He pushed on the boulder and he tugged on his tail again and he pushed and he tugged and he pushed and he tugged but it was no use. When he was out of breath and he had just about given up he saw a giraffe nearby in the grass. The news he thought. Oh giraffe! Desmond cried. Could you please push the boulder a few inches in the other directions so that I could get free? The giraffe looked at Desmond and laughed the way giraffes do. Silly mouse said the giraffe. That's no boulder. That's an elephant that's fallen asleep in the middle of the meadow just on your tail. Well, if you could just wake up the elephant and ask him to roll over a few inches in the other directions I could go free. Well replied the giraffe. You know what they're saying about letting sleeping elephants lie. I find it's best not to get involved in other animals' business. I find it's best to remain neutral in all times like that. Now you know what neutral means? It means don't get involved. Don't do anything. Desmond quickly replied. I don't appreciate your neutrality. The giraffe wandered off and Desmond tried calling out to the elephant to wake him up but those giant ears were just too far away on the other side of the giant's elephant body. So again Desmond pushed on the elephant and tugged on his tail. He pushed and he tugged and he pushed and he tugged but it was no use. When he was out of breath and had just about given up again a gazelle walked by. A gazelle he cried. A gazelle it seems that the elephant has fallen asleep on my tail in the middle of the meadow. I'm stuck and it hurts and it really hurts awful. I wonder if you could gently wake him up and ask him to roll over just a few inches in the other direction so I might go free. Well said the gazelle. I see your problem there. But you know what they say about elephants. They say letting sleeping elephants is the best thing to do is just let them lie there. I find it's best not to get involved in other people's business. I find it's best to remain neutral at all times like this. Desmond replied almost to himself this time I do not appreciate your neutrality.  Well let's see what happens. Desmond tried again to call out to the elephant. He tried again to push away the giant animal away. He tried again and again to tug his little tail free but it was no use. When he was out of breath and he had just about given up for the last time he saw another mouse wandering through the meadow. My name is Nelson. Nelson this great elephant has fallen asleep on my tail in the middle of the meadow. I wonder if you might run over and call out into his giant ears and ask him to roll over just a few inches in the other direction so I could go free. Desmond asked of course said Nelson. Nelson ran all the way to the other end of that giant elephant body and he called up to those giant elephant ears at the top of the giant elephant's head but the elephant didn't budge. The elephant heard Nelson's small voice far away but he was just too comfortable to move. Nelson ran back to Desmond a little bit out of breath and said Ivan idea don't move. He ran off. I won't. Mother Desmond a little while later though Nelson emerged through the tall grass and he wasn't alone. Nelson had found three other mouse friends to help him and each one of them brought some other friends with them. The whole group of them ran over to the giant head of that giant elephant. One mouse scrambled up under the shoulders of another and another mouse scrambled up under her shoulders and then one after another they climbed up until the whole group of them had formed a long mouse ladder right up to the side of that elephant. At last Nelson climbed up to the shoulders of the mouse of the friends one on top of the other until he was way up on the giant elephant's head standing next to that giant elephant's ear right there. Excuse me. He called right out to that ear. It seems as if you've fallen asleep on my friend's tail in the middle of the meadow. I wonder if you could just roll over a few inches and you'd be in a different direction. So he might go free. The giant elephant made a giant low groan. Grompf. I'm comfortable just where I am. Grompf. Go away. So Nelson asked more of his mouse friends to climb up one by one. They helped each other to the side of the elephant one by one.  Grompf. I'm comfortable just where I am. Just go away. Then Nelson had an idea. He whispered to the mouse and then all at once they yelled out together Excuse us. It seems you've fallen asleep on our friend's tail in the middle of this meadow. Roll over just a few inches in the other direction so he can go free, please. This time all those voices together right next to the elephant's ear were too loud to ignore. I was comfortable where I was but I'll move over if you just agree to stop making such a racket. The elephant cried out then the elephant finally rolled over just a few inches in the other direction. Nelson and the other mice helped each other climb back down Desmond where he was and guess what Desmond was finally free. Desmond and Nelson and all the mouse friends spent the rest of that beautiful day playing in the middle of that beautiful meadow. And I bet they sang and danced all day because they helped each other and they solved the problem. And guess what? This book was written by a man named Matt Meyer and the pictures were illustrated by his friend Kim Pham. And they dedicated to this man, Nelson Mandela who was a man who always always wanted people to be free and not separated from each other and always to help one another. He was from South Africa. You may learn more about him as you grow up but wasn't that a great story about that mouse? Now, what we're going to do is we're going to have an art lesson and it's always fun to make stories last by drawing pictures that you saw in the book. And I'm going to show you how to do that right now over at the easel. Okay, so stay tuned. You might like to get out some paper and I hope by now this is our third story that you have your own art journal and that you will keep drawing and loving art as much as I do and a lot of my friends do. And Little Bear does too, right, Little Bear? Yes, I love to draw. Sometimes it's hard because I pause but I try. Here we go. Thanks for staying tuned. Here we are at my easel. Now, I'm going to show you how to draw a very easy mouse. This is so easy. It's not funny. Remember I talked to you last time about curves? Well, here's one. Now, here's going to be the bottom of the mouse. Here's the mouse's tail. Here's the mouse's ears.   Is that simple? Cute? All right, let's go to one that's a little bit more exciting. Now, this is very simple. You have mice that look just like this. And I remember what they look like. They head ahead. Here comes the curve. Little curves for the ears. And then the little mouse head comes down like this. Little eyes.  Now, let's go for the body. Very easy. Little shoulders come down to the side. About this far.  Artists love to make feet in different ways. It doesn't really matter. You can make them your own way. But that's the beginning. So let's make this into a lady mouse. She's going to have on a little apron. And these are going to be her hands tucked right into the apron. And then, remember last time I talked to you about details? Making something look like it's not plain. It's decorated. So let's give her some stripes for her sleeves. And let's give her a little scarf. All right? It might be blowing in the wind. Might have some little circles on it. It's always fun to make details and then color them in. And is there anything else? You could have the bottom of her apron come right here. And there could be little curvy lines here. It's fun to use dots too. Just put those in. Now I didn't make her hands because it looks like she's got her hands in her pockets. And maybe she's got a picture right here on her apron. Maybe it's a little flower. You can put on anything you like. But there's the lady mouse. Here we are with the boy mouse. And we just need to put his eyes in. And a little nose. And his little whiskers. And then I'm going to draw this that same easy body that we had for the girl mouse. But then I think we'll give him a little collar. Little shoulder straps. You can do little pockets here. His arms are here. We can make this look like it's a pair of pants. And we're going to give him those little skinny legs. These are cute. Just straight lines. Put those out like that. And I think I'm going to put a baseball cap on him. And I'll do a curve like this. He's all set to go outside. Now if you want again to put details on. You could put cuffs on his pants. You could put things hanging down from his pockets. Anything you like. So have fun making a boy and a girl mouse. Now let's see if we could do a couple of mice that look like the ones that were in the story about Desmond. Now if you remember Desmond had a very, very pointy nose. The artist made a shape like this. A curve. But it comes down just like that. Remember?  Little ears at the top.  Looks like him already doesn't it? A little bit. So the artist decided to make a body that was a little bit fat. He used a curve at the bottom like this.  And then we could make him with his arms out like shouting, please help, help me. Easy, easy, easy Desmond like that. One of my most favorite illustrations was the illustration of Desmond screaming. And the artist made this wonderful face. Starting with two little points like this. And we'll make the continued body of Desmond like this with a curvy line all the way up there. Now let's put in the details. Here come two ears at the side. His hands are up again screaming for help. Please help me. Nobody would at first. And then the way he got it to look like he was really screaming is his wide open mouth like this. And guess what's at the top? Two little teeth. And maybe there was a little tongue there too. My teeth could be better. But anyway, and then those little tiny feet that he had like that. And there he is.  I would like to bring out my magic markers and coloring.  Easy to make grass around things.  A little flower, remember? Little mice love to run in the meadows.  Grass is easy to make. Little shoots, little dots. Like this. Little stones. So if you used one piece of paper, you could make a lot of little extra details. Same thing here with nice bigger leaves. Have fun. Just wiggle your marker. See where it wants to go. Here's a wiggly flower. Yep, with wiggly leaves. And over here, big stones. They're outside. And then little shoots growing. Little dots for little teeny things growing out of the plants. Here's Desmond on the ground. And you know what I could do to make it look like he's outside. I was thinking I could make that big ol' elephant, but I could make a great big lump there that shows maybe there's something there on the ground. You could stick things in. But have fun. Even if you take a drawing and make one thing on one page, that's fine. You can make a whole collection. And then you can put them all together. And then, you know what I was just thinking? I could go like this. And I could make wiggly lines all over the place to connect these.  I could spend all day coloring this in. And then doing all kinds of things with this design. So when you guys get tired of watching TV, tired of watching your little electronics, go to your journal and draw. And have fun.  And you are going to have masterpieces. You are. I'm so glad you watched this whole program. And I think Little Bear is too. What do you think, Little Bear? Oh, I liked it. I think I'm going to be a great artist one day. You do? Yes. And I hope you catch that mouse and you take him outside. Would you take me outside with you? When you let him go? Oh, sure. Well, I hope that he'll come out from under the couch. Maybe tonight. OK, good. Let's go home and watch. OK. Bye. Tune in next time. We'll have another story for you. Bye.
