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.
- Buy That Fun Stuff Without Going Into Debt @ FreeFromBroke.com
- How Much SHOULD You Be Putting In Your 401k? @ MyInvestingBlog.com
- The Best and Worst Discount Brokers @ MilkYourMoney.com

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.
