How to save money

You know that feeling you have when you reach inside your pocket and all of a sudden you feel a a silky papery substance and you realize that its a dollar bill that you didn’t know you had? You know why are get all excited?  It’s because you now have more money than what you thought you had and it all happened on accident.

I think many people think saving money on purpose isn’t as exciting as finding “magic” money in your pocket.  I want to agree with them.  I don’t think saving money on purpose is as exciting, instead, I think its more exciting.

We’ve got Bob, author at Christian Personal Finances, sharing with us some tips on how to save some major cash.

Cost of Discipleship Book Review

If you remember, we gave away some free books in the summer.  The catch was that they had to read the book and write a book review so that we could post it on the blog.  So far, this is our first (but not last!) book review.

My friend Blake received and read “The Cost of Discipleship” by Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Here enters Blake.

I confess I’ve known about Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s The Cost of Discipleship for a several years, but only recently did I muster the courage (and find the time) to actually read it. I also admit that I have heard some pretty high praise for this book, so in reading it I wondered if its reputation would outweigh its content and prove to be hyperbole (it turns out this is not the case).

p90x: The End

I finished the p90x routine on September 10, 2010.

Before I share my results, I must confess that I wasn’t as consistent during the last 2 weeks as I was during the rest of the program.  Still, I’m content with the results.

Late September

Touger and I don’t have a keyboard or piano, still.  We do have a white Washburn acoustic guitar, but it’s getting old and though it’s smaller, it’s still too big for my hands.  So, here’s where the story begins:

It was my birthday in late September and the Friday before my birthday, Touger, in his best shirt, took me to Guitar Center after work!  I knew he was messin’ with me…but I was hoping!  As we entered the acoustic guitar room, Touger pointed to the Baby Taylor.  Too small.  I entered through the glass doors (you know which ones I’m talking about) where the Taylor and Marshall guitars hung like gems against the wooden walls.  The Big Baby Taylor just didn’t cut it.  It was bigger than the Baby but smaller than a regular sized guitar; however, the neck was still too big.  Not only that, I didn’t like the shape of the body or the looks of it in general.  I picked it up anyway and played.  Um, too muffled.  Touger concurred.  How about the 100 series 114ce?  Ooo…the sound was great, but still, too big.  Darn!  I knew I wasn’t going to go home with one…but I didn’t even find one that I would want .  We went to check out the keyboards instead but I wasn’t in the mood anymore.  Oh well.  I was disappointed, but I couldn’t let Touger get me…so I walked out smiling .
