More money.... (Go Orange!)

So I concluded today, that you own more of your own money when the bank doesn't require you to keep a minimum balance. :) $300 just sitting around that I couldn't use was bugging me, especially if you drop below $300, they start charging you $5/mo. That's like negative interest.

I was very pleased with my ING Direct Savings Account, $0.55 in one month, carrying 1/3 the balane I normally have over the course of one quarter where I made no more than $0.40ish with that one bank.

So my advise, go Ornage! http://home.ingdirect.com/ and "Save Your Money" (TM). :) Especially if you want to earn 3.5% minimumn on an zero minimum balance savings account, check them out.

Have a great day!

P.S. If you want to earn more money, e-mail me first and let me send you a referral e-mail. It then becomes a win-win situation for both of us (as in freee money!). :)

I'm Back

To blog, or not to blog, that is the question that causes me to ponder the meaning of life? Is it worth my time to air my thoughts, opinions, observatoins and what ever I put on my blog?

Well I don't have a good answer. I was told to just write short things, that way it doesn't take up too much time. But I've thought of 3 things to write, of which, you'll get two.

If you are wondering where I've been, I say that I've been working hard serving the Lord. The Ezekiel Project (www.z37.org) has consumed a lot of time since it was added to my plate on top of a lot of other responsibilities. All in all, I'm happy to serve and don't mind the insane lack of 'free time'. As if it were actually 'free'. No, God paid for it, He's just getting it back for all the years it was mine, or so I thought. :)

I'm alive....

Well, I've been gone from the blogging shpere for some time. I thought I should write and say, "Hi". Hi. I'm still alive, just extremely busy during the holidays, traveling to Faithwalkers and now, working on Spring Semester Ministry kick-off among some other projects at the church. I hope to resume the discussion on Government soon..... (Thanks to all who posted comments.)
