   I had the chance to have lunch with my wonderful man this week, he took this picture just as the coffee started to kick in…..Hazelnut coffee on a freezing cold day, ahhhhhhhh.      As the discussion this week has included a number of ways to save money, I want to conclude with a way [...]

Give Back Friday: Everyday Benevolence

February 4, 2011 By 14 Comments

  What a weather week it’s been for much of the country.  Power outages, record snow fall and damaging winds….geez.   Our oldest daughter is in Chicago, braving all the crazy weather up there.  It’s enough to make a parent’s nerves crisp when you can’t do much to help yourself, much less your adult child.  Our [...]

Give Back Friday: America's Food Pantry

December 3, 2010 By 6 Comments

I love my church….know why?  Many reasons, but one that means a lot to me is that they work at feeding the community on a regular basis.  This speaks volumes to me. Unemployment here in Ohio is about 10% and I’ve read reports that if you included all the people who had their hours cut [...]

Give Back Friday

November 12, 2010 By 6 Comments

This is a new feature for Fridays, it’s called (obviously) “Give Back Friday“. What I’m hoping to accomplish with this is an awareness of how we can touch other people on a daily basis.  I’ve long ago shed the theory that you need to be a Pastor or within the walls of a church to minister [...]
