Bargain Shopping, Scriptures, and Ramblings

So I have been on the computer the past few days more than normal. Here are my reasons:

• I'm on fall break!!
• I recently got the new IPod touch and a MacBook after I killed my "other" computer (it was a PC...what can I say?). I have been working on getting my music collection on to my computer which has been taking forever. Try adding over 10 years with of music x 2.
• I love my MAC! I have been working on all kinds of projects, so I have been on here quite a bit. 

If you are affiliated with ASU, or another university, Apple runs a great back to school promo each year. I bought my MacBook and IPod, but my IPod was free after rebate. Plus, through the university, you get free AppleCare for 3 years (a 3 year warranty).

My brother convinced me to switch and I don't know how I functioned without it. It is too late for the promo this year, but look for it in July-August. I will post details next year. Taylor wants one now to be cool like me. :)

Anyway, if you have an IPhone or an IPod touch, they now have the Scriptures available for a free download. It is basic, but great to have wherever you go. Click here for more info and the guy that made the scriptures more accessible.

So, as I was reading last night (while listening to music of course...) I came across this scripture in Jacob 2: 18-19. 

"But before ye seek for riches, seek ye for the kingdom of God. And after ye have obtained a hope in Christ ye shall obtain riches, if ye seek them; and ye will seek them for the intent to do good—to clothe the naked, and to feed the hungry, and to liberate the captive, and administer relief to the sick and the afflicted."

It got me thinking about helping others. I am not rich by the world's standards, but it sure feels like I am when I open my closets and cabinets. The season for giving is coming up, but I know we should be doing this all along.

With that being said, I would like to start getting boxes together for those in need. With the way the economy is right now, we really are in a position to help others in need. If we all put a few items together, we can make a big difference.

I will post more information when I get back from vacation. If you would like to help out e-mail me at livingprovidently@gmail.com. 

As an ending note, I LOVE FRY'S!! The have the best customer service and the best prices. I have even more loyalty towards them after a bad experience at Safeway. Fry's treats me like I am royalty with the deals I get. "Other" stores sometimes make me feel like I am breaking the law by using a coupon. 

If you have had a good experience at Fry's, or any other store, don't forget to call into customer service to let them know. They like to hear the good comments too.

This post is dedicated to Sandra and Amber at my local Fry's. You ladies rock!

I am going to be getting ready for our trip, so I will be back next week. I will try to post Fry's in between hanging out with Mickey, but check out Pinching Your Pennies in the meantime. Have a great week!
