I'm doing 28 things
Why is this so hard for me? I don’t get my own resistance to going. Yes, I have legit health problems. Yes, I don’t know of a local church that is what I want it to be. Yes, my church frustrates me for various reasons.

Also, I find that I'm seldom interested in new releases. When people rave about a movie, it usually turns me off. I'd rathe… Read how I did it…

Happy, blessed
How I did it: I'd been saving money but only had about $8,000 in the bank. Had gone to a seminar for first time buyers the previous year.

Through Department of Ag and Rural Development(?) and a KY Housing Loan, I was able to buy with just a few hundred dollars down-- incred… Read how I did it…

Now just need to hide all the wires around the TV area.
