I have to admit, I’m no good at packing my lunch. With my schedule I tend to get home late and leave 15-20 minutes after I get up.
But Clever Dudette suggests individuals can save nearly $1000 a year with packed lunches as compared to buying lunches on the go.
The menu she suggests is probably a little bland for some but in reality whenever I go home for lunch I usually have one or two options and I change them up with a few different spices or seasonings.
I’ve also admired my friends I’ve gone to eat with who rather than look for the largest meal (like myself), look for the cheaper items on the menu. That in and of itself can save a lot of money.

James Cameron has found Jesus
Well, he’s found a Jesus — his remains at least.
Titanic director James Cameron said at a press conference yesterday that he has found the remains of Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene and a son named Judah.
Scholars and Christian’s everywhere are skeptical.
A documentary, “The Lost Tomb of Jesus”, will debut March 4 on the Discovery Channel.
According to NPR:
Cameron said he had never doubted the historical reality of Jesus:
“But the simple fact is there has never been a shred of physical, archeological evidence to support that fact until right now,” he said.
The tomb was discovered in 1980, in Jerusalem, several miles outside the Old City. There were scholarly articles about it in the late ’90s. Six of the ossuaries had inscriptions recorded and catalogued. The inscriptions included “Jesus, son of Joseph,” two different Marys, and “Judah, son of Jesus.”
I guess I’m missing the logic when Cameron said he never doubted the historical reality of Jesus and still thinks he can find his remains in a tomb. My view of history is that there would be no remains. Apparently Cameron is taking a more secular viewpoint of history.
But I guess that’s why they call it faith.

Question of the week…
Why don’t more people attend church?
Bush takes a look under the hood
On Friday, President Bush took a look under the hood of two plug-in electric cars at the White House, including an electric pickup truck by Phoenix Motorcars.
Bush made a short speech to reiterate his State of the Union Address saying: “I firmly believe that the goal I laid out, that Americans will use 20 percent less gasoline over the next 10 years is going to be achieved, and here’s living proof of how we’re going to get there.
Along with the truck, a Toyota Prius was also on display.
The Prius on display had a high-power lithium-ion battery made by A123 Systems. It can power the car for about 40 miles and recharge in five hours. The white truck, made by Phoenix Motorcars, uses a different kind of high-powered battery made by Altair Nanotechnologies. The battery has a range of 130 miles and can be recharged in about 10 minutes with a rapid-charging unit or trickle-charged overnight with its onboard charger.

Reaching out to the lost
I love this…
80-90% of deaf American’s do not attend church.
Here’s a real practical way to reach out to them.
Brian Sims of Brentwood Baptist Church (Brentwood, TN) is making church special for the deaf. In fact, Brian has created a church service exclusively designed for deaf people. It is called Brentwood Baptist Deaf Church.
Here are a few ways the church is reaching out to the hearing impared in their community:
Awesome! Maybe we can get my sister Kara to come and start a sign language ministry at encounter.
