Another sad story on why you should never use or have a debit card. I highly recommend converting them to ATM cards. The debit card providers say they offer the same protection as credit cards… but there is one difference that isn’t really obvious:
When you have a debit card you are out the [...]
What Bible Study Software do you use?
I currently use BibleDesktop (open source) but I’m considering the purchase of some proprietary Bible Study software. So I’ve done some preliminary research. An asterisk means I consider it would rank better than half (top 5) of the ten title’s at which I’ve looked.
* Accordance Bible [...]

I use a financial calculator all the time, but mine is as big and bulky as a Bible. There still aren’t any decent financial calculators in the App Store for the iPhone. I was looking on Amazon and one great classic is the HP12C, and there is an open source HP calculator emulator [...]
I have a question for all my fellow bloggers. Kris is very good at keeping things neat, not having a lot of things she doesn’t need, and organizing. But not me. I have too much stuff! I have a lot of things that I rarely use but would buy again at [...]
Kris and I decided it would be cheaper to print our own wedding invitations, so I needed to buy a printer. My requirements were: High build quality, networking support (that way Kris and I can both use it, and I hate plugging things in), laserjet, no toner counter, black and white (if [...]

Nancy Drew (recommended by Noelle)
Anything by Dr. Seuss
Merle the High Flying Squirrel and The Whingdingdilly by Bill Peet

Ben’s Concise Book Reviews
My sister gave me J.P. Moreland’s Love Your God With All Your Mind which is a must read for any Christian. Moreland explains the loss of reason and lack of substance with which our faith should be based. The first part of the book is historical and [...]
Ben’s Concise Book Reviews
I finished reading The Giver by Lois Lowry. It was thought provoking and weird.
I’ve also decided to rate books with a Boolean rating system since I don’t really know how to rate them on a scale. 0 is not worth reading. 1 is worth reading. The [...]
Kris and I have been trying to figure out what to do with health insurance when we get married. I tried making a spreadsheet to compare all the plans, but they are incomparable and incomprehensible. They are also all pretty bad.
To see what I mean, look at JP Power’s Heathcare ratings. The [...]
