Here are some other great articles I found this week:
Plant an extra row in your garden for the needy in your community @ The Good Human. Just a note on this post: In Biblical times, when farmers would harvest their fields, they would get the majority of their crops stored for themselves or sold in the market within a few weeks. But since everything was hand harvested (and not trampled by a big ole John Deere), the plants would often times produce a second harvest. God instructed the Israelites through Moses “When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the alien. I am the LORD your God.” Leviticus 19:9-10 (gleanings were the second production of grain, fruit, or vegetables). It was built into their culture and their law to care for the poor and needy. All too often, we have shrugged off the needy to be cared for by the government. And, as Ronald Reagan once said, “Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them.” The idea to plant a garden for the needy has really touched me and I think that next year when we plan a large garden, I’m going to have a significant section designated for the local food bank or one of the missions downtown.

I've been using TaxCut Software from H&R Block for the past 12 years and I've been extremely happy with it. At various times, I've had a pretty complicated return and TaxCut has always performed perfectly.
Online Phone Service
I have been VERY pleased with Skype . The quality of the call as well as the rate is outstanding. Give it a try! You won't regret it.
Great Coffee
My family and I have used Gevalia for years. They have fantastic coffees and if you sign up, you can get a really, really nice coffeemaker. I have a coffeemaker, two carafes, and a coffee storage container from them. Highly recommended!

Funny thing about that quote. It’s how I used to handle “cleaning out the garage” when I was a teenager and my Dad wanted to figure out something for me to do on a Saturday afternoon!

We’ve got the acreage and I’ve not planted one because of all the wildlife we have in out backyard, but next year I’m going to give it a go by putting up a fence.

I got it fixed. It was one little errant “>” in my single.php file.
Firefox just ignored it, but Internet Explorer wigged out.

You’re right, you can give in a lot of different ways. What I like about the gardening idea is a) I love to garden and b) I can involve the kids.
