Funny Friday – Household Budget
January 23, 2009 By Leave a Comment
A woman had decided to trim her household budget wherever possible, so instead of having a dress dry-cleaned she washed it by hand. Proud of her savings, she boasted to her husband, “Just think, Fred, we are five dollars richer because I washed this dress by hand.” “Good,” her husband quickly replied. “Wash it again!”
The US Presidents' Bible

The new US President Barack Obama took the oath of office yesterday using the same Bible upon which President Lincoln was sworn-in at his first inauguration. Obama became the first President to be sworn-in using the Lincoln Bible since its initial use in 1861. Yesterday’s ceremony seems to have shined a new light on the age-old [...]

Today is a very special for me as it is my son Chris’ birthday – his 16th nonetheless. It is also the day that the first African-American president got sworn in in the United States. If the son of an African immigrant can become the most powerful man in, as they say, God’s own country, [...]
Money Myth: Blue Monday
January 19, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Do you Get Blue Mondays? Today, say experts, is the unhappiest day in the entire year. A combination of unpaid Christmas bills begining to come in, nasty weather, failed New Year’s resolutions and next payday being sometime away make January 22 the gloomiest in the calendar. Almost a quarter of British workers are expected to [...]

January 16, 2009 By Leave a Comment
A woman was fined £85 by police after swearing during a church service. Officers were called by priests during a service at the Orthodox Ascension Church in Botosani, northeast Romania. I am not for swearing – anywhere or at anytime but i can only guess that the woman said something other than JESUS CHRIST before [...]

I don’t usually write about football (which our American cousins call Soccer) even though i’m an Arsenal supporter – my son is even a registered Junior Gunner, but i just can’t let this one go without saying my piece on it. It was widely reported today that Manchester City Football Club made a bid of about £100,000,000 (gently count [...]

Do you still think your bank loves you? Think again. Even though the Bank of England and other Central Banks are slashing the rates of borrowing, some financial institutions are doing just the opposite. American Express has increased the cost on borrowing on its British Airways Premium Plus card to 46% - more than 30 times the Bank [...]
Funny Friday – Inspiring Music At Church
January 9, 2009 By Leave a Comment
A minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute. The [...]
Funny Friday – Praise the Lord!
January 2, 2009 By Leave a Comment
There’s a little old Christian lady living next door to an atheist. Every morning the lady comes out onto her front porch and shouts “Praise the Lord!”. The atheist yells back, “There is no God”. She does this every morning with the same result. As time goes on, the lady runs into financial difficulties and [...]
