Church Bulletin Board

Here's the new bulletin board Abbie and I made for the adult Sunday school class.

Walgreens shopping Trip

This is what I bought today at Walgreens for only $3.41! 

Jesus Healing the Blind Man

Today we are looking at John 9: 1-11. 
How many times are we blind to what God wants us to do?   How different do you think your life would be if you had eyes of faith?  A lot of times we can't even see what is right in front of us. 

All of us have a "blind spot"  In the back of our eyeballs is a part called the retina.  The retina is made of light-sensitive materal that sends information it sees to the brain.  Every retina has a "blind spot" or a place that doesn't have that light sensitive material.

Blind spot experiment:

Draw a smiley face on the left part of a sheet of paper and on the right side place the number one and count up to nine, writing right to left.  Close your right eye and look at the number one with your left eye.  See the smiley face with your peripheral vision!  Without moving your head or the paper look at the other numbers (the 2, then the 3, then 4 etc.)  You will notice that the smiley face disappears around the number four and will reappear around number 7.

Blackberry

We have had our little guinea pig, Abbie named Blackberry, since April 27th.  She was just a little baby when we got her then and she has grown so much!   Here's a new picture of her:

Today's coupons

I had another good shopping trip today with coupons today.  Before coupons and bonus card savings at Bi-Lo my total was:  $46.98.  I only spent $26.24 so that is a savings of $20.74.  I also went to Wal-Mart and was able to get a free bottle of Gain dish detergent! 

Coupon Savings

I started a few months ago saving money by using coupons.  All I can say is it has become really fun for me to see how much money I can save at the stores by using my coupons.  I think it will be fun, at least for me, to start keeping track of what I am saving here on my blog.
Today I went to Rite-Aid before work and I bought four packages of cough drops, one bottle of pantene shampoo, one bottle of 130 count Bufferin and a pack of allergy tablets for only $13.01.  I also received a $2.00 UPS reward to use the next time I shop at Rite-Aid and I will also be receiving $6.99 refund in the mail for the Bufferin. 

1.29 cough drops
1.29 cough drops
1.79 cough drops
1.79 cough drops
6.29 pantene shampoo
4.49 allergy tablets
9.99 Bayer asprin
26.93

So after coupons I saved 13.92.  When I get my refund then my savings will go to 20.91 and then the next time I go in I will be able to use my $2.00 UP rewards!
