“The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein, for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.” -Psalms 24

Yesterday was Earth Day, so to honor this week that follows, we thought Psalms 24 was a good reminder of God’s design for our world and the resources that He has provided for us.

Do you ever have experiences that show you God’s careful design for our world?

Have a great Tuesday!

Have you heard?

It’s coming…

Something that offers a totally different way to organize, manage, and calculate all of your finances.

We are oh-so-close to launching our next generation product, Shelby Financials Online! This cloud- hosted software is your new alternative to the existing v.5 General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Payroll, Bank Reconciliation, Check Express, Accounts Receivable, Fixed Assets, and Expense Amortization.

But don’t worry- we have no plans to discontinue the existing v.5 financials. The new Shelby Financials Online will be an additional product with more contemporary features and will be hosted on Shelby’s secure servers for 24/7 access. Our customers will be able to choose which of these products they want to use. Plans and costs for upgrading from the existing v.5 financials are being developed now and will be announced in June and data migration will be included in the upgrade process.

Shelby Financials Online will be launched at ISC 2013 in Dallas, TX (June 12-14), where we will share all of the details of it and give our attendees a firsthand look. Below is a list of the breakout sessions where you can see an in-depth presentation of how it can enhance your financial stewardship:

At ISC, you will also be able to meet one-on-one with Shelby trainers, learn from other users, and network with Shelby customers. You can register for ISC here.

If you have any questions, feel free to call us at (800) 877-0222 or email us at sales@shelbyinc.com.

If you’re coming to ISC 2013 and you’re the type of person who enjoys a free, luxurious hotel upgrade, we’ve got something for you! You could win a chance to stay in a Luxury Suite at the InterContinental Dallas Hotel while you attend International Shelby Conference.

Have a great weekend!

“But store up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” -Matthew 6:20-21

I love these verses. In just two sentences, so much is illustrated here:

1. What we can take with us to Heaven are the things that cannot be destroyed by the things of Earth.
2. What are considered heavenly treasures are not the same as what we value as earthly treasures. We cannot take our possessions with us, but we can take with us the pieces that make up our hearts and souls.
3. The treasures that lie in our hearts are accessible at any time and cannot be stolen from us. God sent His only Son to die on a cross for our sins and asks for a relationship with us in return. If we have asked Jesus into our hearts, we  already possess the greatest treasure of all.

We are all guilty of taking pride in our material belongings, but we need to remember how much more valuable this one relationship is over everything else. It’s not always easy, but that is why we are so blessed to have the Bible with us… to remind us of what really matters most.

Have a great day!

“He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” Luke 24: 46-47

This Sunday represents the most important day on Earth for Christians. Shelby Systems will be closed Friday (March 29) in honor of Good Friday and we will reopen on Monday, April 1st.

From all of us at Shelby Systems, we wish you all a very happy Easter. May we never forget the greatest sacrifice that was made for all of us.

Have a great weekend!
