It’s not easy to buy a house.
It has never been easy, but the over reaction to the subprime fall out has made it especially hard.
But all it takes are 2 steps to begin: Save money for a down payment, and work on having good credit.
I did say it’s not easy.
I was a part of the Jesus Movement.
I didn’t know it at the time, but the Jesus Movement was a revival in the 60’s and 70’s that started here in the West Coast and spread to other parts of North America and Europe. According to my pastor, it even went overseas. It was a revival of young people across the globe, a “generational” revival and not a “geographical” revival, as my pastor explained. He was saved during the Jesus Movement as well.
I don’t get out much, but this weekend, my hubby and I actually got to see a first run movie, before it came on TV. :)
Iron Man was entertaining and generally on my approve list. Considering movies like Mary Poppins is my usual preferred genre, Iron Man is pretty exciting for me. I would’ve liked to see Iron Man do more cool stuff though.
Who is wise? He will realize these things.
Who is discerning? He will understand them.
The ways of the LORD are right;
the righteous walk in them,
but the rebellious stumble in them.
This verse is found at the end of the book of Hosea.
When the nation of Israel was in trouble, they turned to everyone and everything for deliverance, everyone except God.
A SAHM (StayAtHomeMom) said, “I gave up the work I love to do what I love more.” – I heard that on Family Life today.
Women often think of “giving up” their career to stay at home with their children as a “sacrifice.” Or the lost of a second income is a “sacrifice.”
And save money on rabbit food!
For my sister who has 5 closets full of clothes, I don’t dare buy her a gift from a department store.
But I know this is something she does not have – clothes from Bamboosa. Bamboo fiber is soft and comfortable, and it’s naturally anti-microbial.
These are the 3 items I would get for my sister in a gift basket:
I did not like her other book, but this one was really good!
Laurie King has a series of Sherlock Holmes books where King creates a new partner for Holmes. The Beekeeper’s Apprentice is the first in the series. The other book I read earlier, The Game, made more sense now that I read this one.
What do you think of when you hear the story of Jonah?
We usually think of Jonah as the main character. His disobedience landed him in the belly of the fish. Then he repented and he went to preach in Ninevah. After hearing God’s message through Jonah, the Ninevites repented and were not destroyed.
I went to Linens n Things yesterday and forgot to bring a coupon, can you believe that?? I didn’t want to make another trip, so I bought what I needed anyway.
Before you buy anything, check for coupons first. Go to online coupon sites like Savings.com and you may find what you need. Whether it’s 20% or even just 5%, it’s better than nothing.
