Crown Financial Ministries
By Carrie | Comments Off
If you are unfamiliar with Crown Financial Ministries, I encourage you to visit their website and look around. There is alot of great financial wisdom floating around the internet, but Crown’s kingdom mentality makes it a winner for Christians. Just look at their mission statement:
Equipping people worldwide to learn, apply,and teach God’s financial principles so they may know Christ more intimately, be free to serve Him, and help fund the Great Commission.

Butterfly Garden
By Carrie | Comments Off
Now is a great time to start a butterfly garden. By planting a few butterfly-attracting flowers together, you can create a space where (hopefully) a variety of butterflies will visit. If you have children, a butterfly garden is a great opportunity to observe nature and a good learning opportunity.
The more frugal way to create a butterfly garden is to use perennial flowers. The upfront cost is a bit higher, but the flowers will return each year bigger and better. The butterfly site contains a list of flowers for attracting butterflies along with other resources (like butterfly species in your state). A butterfly bush, salvia, daisies and marigolds (an annual) are the more common plants that you can find at your local garden center.

By Carrie | Comments Off
Here is an interesting little booklet from the Department of Agriculture: Recipes and Tips for Healthy, Thrifty Meals.
The tips are basically common-sense and nothing earth-shattering for anyone who tries to save money on groceries, but it’s free and has some basic recipes. Good for a beginner.

Being Good Stewards
By Carrie | Comments Off
(Originally written in November 2005)
I was watching a news program yesterday that was talking about the Christmas shopping season. They mentioned a few items from the Neiman Marcus catalog for the rich of the rich, like a $75,000 handbag and a diamond-covered iPod case of which I don’t remember the cost. When I hear about those kinds of things, I just can’t understand why anyone would want to spend that much money on such frivolous items.
