It is a shame

Either our Commander in chief is totally out of touch with mainstream America or he really does not care. Anyways, there is no excuse for rewarding bad behaviour and punishing good behavior.

Faith is embracing the reality of God in the deepest part of my soul, having that reality as a hope and an anchor for my soul.

"1Now faith is the (A)assurance of things (B)hoped for, the conviction of (C)things not seen."

Faith

Our faith in God is not just a mental or emotional ascent of a belief in God, but is a supernatural occurance that is birthed by the living word of God. Faith is the reality of God stamped on our spirit and spreading through our soul, creating conviction and confidence in our God.

in reference to:

"1Now faith is the (A)assurance of things (B)hoped for, the conviction of (C)things not seen. 2For by it the (D)men of old (E)gained approval. 3By faith we understand that the (F)worlds were prepared (G)by the word of God, so that what is seen (H)was not made out of things which are visible."

Being faithful in a world that is unfaithful

It does seem like we are faced with many challenges that tempt and pressure us to act contrary to our faith, and I think this is the rub, to go against those inclinations and submit to Christ anyways. I must admit I often fail in that, but I am learning, and leaning on the mercy of our Lord. Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saves a wretch like me.

in reference to:

"“Now you work it out in your life, and be faithful to Me, even though the nature of everything around you is to cause you to be unfaithful.”"

Discover Savings Account

I got an email the other day from a former brokerage that I had a savings account with. In the email I was informed that the etrade savings account that I had, had been transferred to Discover Bank. When I navigated over to the Discover Bank site I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Discover Bank savings account offered a 1.34% interest rate that yielded 1.35% with no minimum balance. That is better than the rate being paid to me by Dollar Savings Direct. You should check out Discover Bank savings

Dollar Savings Direct Online Saving Account

There are many banks that are offering online savings accounts with a rate that is usually better than you will get from a local bank. One of the best rates being offered is by Dollar Savings Direct. The current rate that Dollar Savings Direct is offering on their online savings account is 1.29% with a corresponding APR of 1.30% for accounts with a minimum account balance of $1000. Dollar Savings Direct also offers a great rate on their online certificates of deposit. When I compared the rates that Dollar Savings Direct offered with those of my local bank, I found that my local bank could not beat Dollar Savings Direct's rates. This bank is well worth the time of checking out, here is the link DollarSavingsDirect.com
