We do have someone that leads discussion every week, but mostly because it's at his house. Any advice? Kim:

And, after a few months of reading your blog, I figured out that you are in the CREC, too! (We're a candidate church currently). But, what I was really going to say is that we have been with Samaritan for 2 years now, and we agree completely with you- it is a huge blessing to know that you are directly helping other saints!

We have health insurance through the Post Office, since my husband is a letter carrier. We hope to become self employed and then we will no longer have insurance. Okay, now that the important thought is out of the way, can I vomit now on your "smells" post? You didn't have to go into detail about what you found in that bag of potatoes.......My skin is crawling!!!! I love your humor!

I am now on Medicare but got caught between insurances when I was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago.. I had just signed up with this ministry and didn't know if it would really pay off. I can't tell you what a blessing it was to get all those checks in the mail and to be able to pay all my medical bills. Also receiving all those wonderful notes and knowing others were praying for me. I can't remember exactly how much money I received but I think it was around 35,000 dollars. This is truly a wonderful ministry. Samaritan Ministries is a wonderful organization. I am now on Medicare but got caught between insurances when I was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago..

I personally am struggling since the price of gas has excalated everything else along with it. Could you do a post on how you budget sometime soon??? I can only make things go so far, my monthly food bill for 4 is about $400 and are gasoline alone is about $300. totally of topic but this took me to the previous post “kids are cheap” and I am wondering how you are managing your family budget 2 years after that post.
