The Ongoing Circle
Government always behaves in a predictable manner, and nothing’s more obvious than when it comes to taxes. At any given time there are a set of programs that government runs that costs it a certain set of money. Yet government doesn’t have enough money to to pay for the programs that they have (or they [...]
Delayed Kindness
Part of the problem today with marriage is that it is being devalued by a umber of things, not the least of which is the idea that a couple can get together without being married and have all the “benefits” of marriage. While purity is something that should be pursued by both people in a [...]
Where Does the Money Come From?
“From the bank.” That was the answer that my oldest gave to the question in the title. He knew that we drove up to the bank and that’s where I got the money to pay for things. Kids notice things that are right in front of them. They see that I go to work everyday—though [...]
Congress Does Not Want You To Save
For all of their talk about wanting the American people to save money, Congress and the Federal Government are doing everything in their power to cause you to spend money. Think about it—why is there a stimulus plan? Why does Congress pin everything on the banks not supplying credit? It’s not because Congress wants you [...]
Chocolate Candy Crosses
Image via Wikipedia Picture this: Your father is found guilty of a crime he didn’t commit. He’s sentenced to death via electric chair and he doesn’t get pardoned. He dies May 12th, and many people mourn his loss. Afterward, he is exonerated. So, every year on May 12th, you have a local confectioner make up [...]
Pests
Little did I know what I was in for. It was all supposed to be great. We were getting a bigger house. I was moving to my new place of employment. We were getting an attached garage. It wasn’t until one of the spring nights I was out, and it bit me. Well, it almost [...]
Credit vs. Debit
Many people have decided that it just isn’t worth it—credit, that is. One of the neat things that this recession has done is to convince people that although credit is handy and easy, there’s nothing that beat cash and savings. So, are these the only two options? Do I need to cut up all my [...]
Searching For Web Hosts Online
You want to get your point of view out. You want a space on the web to call your own. You have a church that needs a web presence. You want to create a site to store your pictures of your kitten “Cutesy Pie.” For whatever the reason that you want to get online, you [...]
Who Are Your Friends?
We live in an interesting age. I don’t know how many times friends from my high school want to e-mail or contact me—if only I’ll pay cash to talk to them, or at least that’s what Classmates.com wants me to believe. We used to be able to move on from place to place, keeping in [...]
We’re No Longer Warming?
When you see them changing the terms you know that something else is changing. This all began last year when you started hearing more about “climate change” as less about “global warming.” Why the change in terminology? Because if the skeptics are right, and the warming isn’t happening or can’t be associated with humans then [...]
Is Your Temple Smoking?
One of the vices that Christians have recently joined the culture in protesting is that of smoking. The scriptural passage that is invariably used to preach against smoking is the one that speaks about your body being the temple of the Holy Spirit—and that a Christian would not want to have that temple polluted with [...]
Saving Money By Shopping Online
It’s amazing how much money you can save by shopping online. Recently, I was looking for some books that I wanted to buy for my kids, and I was able to find them on eBay—the subscription was $17.00 for a book, I got 7 of them for $20.00. There are deals and coupon codes that [...]
Modest Maternity
One of the hardest times for a woman to be modest is when she’s pregnant. Her shape is changing, and by about four months is obvious to just about everyone that there’s a little one that will soon be making his or her appearance. To compound the problem if you’re pregnant in summer you have [...]
Are You Prepared to Defend Yourself?
Uncertain times force people to flee for security. For some, that means stockpiling non-perishables. Others start hiding their money in the mattress. Some seek out relationships. And some seek ways to protect themselves and prepare for the unimaginable. Are you one of those that has been shaken by what is going on in the world [...]
Government’s New Talent
Mind reader. Hate crimes legislation is wrong on so many levels that I could not fit them all in one blog post. How does one judge the thoughts of the heart without being God? And yet that is exactly what our government is trying to do.
