Let Me Give to the Poor, Not You

Part of President Obama’s budget has a weird twist. I mean, we all know that he wants to raise taxes on the wealthy. We also know that he wants to give that money to the poor. So why is he doing it by capping the amount that the wealthy can give away? Because socialism is [...]

Let Your Light So Shine

Tonight we were unpacking the garage.  Well, kinda unpacking.  I just finished getting the garage in the old house almost cleaned out, and there are a whole bunch of card board boxes in the garage, and since it was warm we decided to do some organizing.  Anyway, I decided to check the fluids in my [...]

What Is Keeping Your Computer Safe?

I’ve heard the story before—in fact, sometimes it’s been me!  As I was working today I read an Tweet from a friend that mentioned that she had lost three years worth of photographs and documents in a hard-drive crash.  The platters were scratched, and though I believe some of it may be salvageable, there are [...]

My Move is Almost Done

I’m sorry for the lack of posts recently.  It seems like life decided to interfere with blogging, and as some of you know I have recently purchased a house1  So, February 14th we loaded up the biggest truck Uhaul had and made the move. So, from that ordeal I thought I’d share a few things [...]

Shopping For Maternity Clothes Online

I can’t believe the number of young ladies that I’ve seen as I’ve been out shopping that are pregnant.  It’s a great thing! Children are the best.  They’re better than any kind of pet, and they are truly blessings from the Lord. One of the neatest things, I think, about living in 2009 and being [...]

Finding a Home For Your Blog

As some of you know, I’m starting a redesign for my daughter blog1, Is This Modest.  One of the interesting things during this process is realizing that that blog may eventually become bigger than this one, and starting to think through whether the current hosting situation I have will be able to expand as my [...]

The Jesus Tree Ornaments

Author Gary Kennedy has penned a Christmas story about a man who is struggling with a difficult situation and his faith.  The Jesus Tree Ornaments is a book that sees his main character working through different Bible stories while confronting the possible loss of his son. Mixed into this story is an attempt to link [...]

The Perfect Invitation

My mother in law is a crafty person.  She love rubber stamping and has a part time business demonstrating how to make cards and use rubber stamps—and of course trying to sell them.  The neat thing about this is that instead of getting store-bought cards on the holidays, my family receives handmade cards—though not always [...]

Whose Money Is It Anyway?

About two weeks ago, President Obama signed his first bill into law.  That bill had to deal with a woman that wasn’t paid the same rate as those around her and she sued for discrimination.  She found out, secretly, that she was getting paid less, and now, President Obama says she can sue and get [...]

So, What’s the Difference?

That’s certainly what was on the mind of the nurse that decided when a mother birthed her child in the waiting room of an abortion clinic.  She figured—the mother didn’t want the child before, so now it’s easier to kill the baby now that it’s out.  So, she cut the umbilical cord, put the baby [...]

Hat Tip: Everyday in Grace

The Value of Your Word

Life is full of competing priorities.  The older you get, the more you find many different things that will compete for every minute—and this is something that’s only gotten worse with modern technology.  There will be projects that need to get done, a family wanting your time, and your body won’t always cooperate. This is [...]

Tax Time is Here Again

Well, at least it is for those that like to take care of taxes early.  This year I’m going to be in sort of a pickle.  You see, because of my layoff, I made much more last year than I was planning on.  Couple that with uncertainty about whether my previous employer withheld enough money [...]

Cash4Gold and Other Super Bowl Ads

Me, I’m not a very big football fan.  I mean, I know the rules, I’m aware of most of the plays, and I’ve played in my front yard.  I’m not a die hard fan, and most of the time that I’ve watched the Super Bowl I’ve done so for the commercials.
