Summertime Travels

Summer time is upon us and that meas a bit of traveling for me and some of the members of the congregation. My boys are now in Singapore, spending the summer with their aunt that lives there. I have already been to camp with 400 teens, 64 from our congregation! I taught 43 tenth graders in Bible Class. Next up is a trip to Dominica, for a mission campaign. We will spend two weeks in the village of Salisbury, on the Caribbean side of the island. It is a new place for our group and it should be exciting.

The Price of Gold

After hearing that the price of gold is at an all time high, and hearing all the commercials on television and radio about outfits that want to buy gold jewelry, I even dug out my old college class ring to see if it might bring in as much as I paid for it thirty years ago!

I also read a web release concerning Monex, a leading company in the precious metals market. They have built a very positive reputation over the past thirty or so years for providing high quality gold bullion in the form of ingots, cold coins and other precious metal investments. Maybe it is time for me to purchase a few nice gold coins to solidify my portfolio!

Bloggers Book Club Forming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A good friend of mine has decided to put together a Book Club gathering of bloggers each month. She will post a book for any one who is interested in participating to read by the 25th of the month. Then each participant will post his or her report on the book on their own blog, with a link to the book club site. My friend will include links back to the various posts so that the participants can peruse the other posted reports. The book to be read for the month of April is To Kill A Mockingbird. I have not read it since high school, so I will pick up a copy at the library and give it a reread. The whole idea sounds like fun to me, and of course, the more the merrier!

Car Loans

The day of dominance by the gas guzzling Sport Utility Vehicles is over. At least for those who can afford to make a trade and get a more fuel efficient car. For those wondering if they can find the right deal. Car Loans can be compared at Car Boulevard, arming you to take the step to move away from the dinosaur in your garage.

Throwing Rocks In St Thomas

On our cruise to the Caribbean, one of our stops was St. Thomas, USVI. We have friends there who picked us up at the dock and took around the island seeing the sights that locals enjoy. We saw Coral World and the Sky Tram. But the most fun was when we drove out to Megan's Point and walked out to the end of the pennisula. We climbed some big rocks then stood and threw stones into the sea. It was the best stop on the whole cruise.

Promo Codes

My wife and I have reached the point that we don't need to impress one another with gifts that don't really suit. We like to give gift certificates to favorite stores like Target or Blue Nile. And in the past few holidays we have focused our shopping on the Internet, so we also love to take advantage of promo codes like those offered at Coupon Chief!

Cruisin'

Our Grandson was watching a commercial for a Carnival Crusie. He turned and said "I want all of us to go on a cruise together.
We had a week of our time share banked, so we called and made a swap, using the week toward a cruise. We are going to cruise for seven days, out of Miami. We will visit San Juan, St Thomas and St Martin! Ask and you shall receive!

Christian Loans

Sometimes we have unexpected financial obligations that can easily be taken care of with small payday loans to get you past the crunch to the next pay check. But some of those agencies that offer such loans seem a bit shady and leave us uneasy, afraid to do business with them. Christian Faith Financial offers its services while using Christian principles that can allay those fears. You can borrow from $200 to $1500 to tide you over.
