“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.”
(Matthew 5:43-45, KJV)
Most Americans remember the events of September 11th, 2001 as a time of sadness and mourning. But there was also anger, fear and even hate. Powerful emotions which were directed at the enemy, an enemy most of didn’t even know.

This is how my life works.
F
irst I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing. As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the front verandah table that I brought up from the letter box earlier, just after the mailman had been there.
I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I put my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage bin beside the table, and notice that the bin is full. So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first.

Would you be interested if I told you how you could improve your gas mileage by almost 30% while spending very little cash and in some cases without buying anything? If so - read on.

Fast food is fast, usually, but it is not always the best buy. Health concerns aside you can easily get just as much food for the same price in many medium and upscale restaurants. How you ask? Easy, most restaurants offer very large food portions, more than most of us can or should eat at one setting. Eat half of what is on your plate and take the rest home.

Good Stewardship begins where you live, in your home. It is very easy to buy things that we really don’t need. Before you buy anything ask yourself if you really need it. If you really need it can you make it? If you can make it will it cost you more than if you bought it? When you are calculating the cost of building an item include your time. And when you are calculating the cost of buying an item include the time it will take to purchase it.
