» Best of the blogosphere: Flowers in bloom roundup

This past week was a busy one for this blog. I co-founded a new blog network with 4 other blogs, posted about how to find cheap gas, told people how to save money on their hospital bills, and talked about how important health insurance is. I even found the time to take a few pictures of the flowers that are popping up in our front yard. Below is a picture of one of our ~~Hosta~~ pretty flowering bushes. Further down the page you’ll see pictures of our new Dwarf Korean Lilac tree.

Because I was so busy last week I neglected to highlight any of my favorite posts of the past week. Today I’ll be doing that. First, here are a few of my favorite posts from my brothers in arms over at the new “Money Life Network” that we launched last week.

The Money Life Network is already getting some mention out in the blogosphere, including a mention in a post over at BlogNetworkWatch.com. Also, you can check out our press release at this site.

Also in personal finance news this week, our buddy Pinyo, from Moolanomy.com, announced a new personal finance sharing website called PFBuzz.com this past week. PF Buzz is a social media site (Think Digg) that focuses on sharing the best personal finance and money articles…made by a personal finance blogger for personal finance bloggers. Please feel free to submit your favorite Bible Money Matters articles by using the PFBuzz button at the bottom of each post.
