These two teachers decided to see if they could eat on $1 a day here in America. The results are sobering. It reminds one just how much many Americans struggle every day. I watched the video from Fox news and immediately wanted to read their blog. In case you would like to read it too here is the link.

If nothing else I hope it reminds each one of us to donate to our local food pantries. I know it has for me. In a time where donations are low & the need is very high we can all help. Even if it's just a little. Remember the loaves & the fishes. God can multiply what we are willing to give especially when we give from the heart.

How Low Can You Go?
Gas prices have been dropping steadily ever since we arrived in Tennesse. Dave & I are always excited to report to one another the latest lowest price we have spotted. Today's lowest price was $1.66/gal! WOW-WHEE!!!!!!!! I paid $1.77/gal on Thursday and now on Sat. it's already droppped 11 cents! When we arrived in Nashville last month it was $2.87. When we left MA it was $3.25. At the beginning of the summer, (and most of the summer), it was around $3.89 - $3.99 up in MA. On Thursday when I filled the van tank I was tickled to see the pump price state literally 1/2 the price that I was paying a few months ago. Some say these prices are not good becasue they equal recession but I say bring it on! Any break we struggling families can get right now is more than welcome.
What are you paying where you live? Your feelings about it?
