Looking For A Summer Home In Kansas City

I enjoy looking at houses for sale online. I live in Florida, but I love to look at houses for sale all over the country. It's kind of a strange hobby of mine. I like to see what houses are going for in all parts of the country. I am also looking for a summer house that I can call my own someday. I would love to own a house in another state, so we could go on a road trip every summer as a family.

One day I was checking out some more houses online. I came across Kansas City homes and I just had to check them out. I remember how my sister lived in Kansas City years ago and the stories she told me about the place. It sounds like a really cool place to own a summer home. I checked out the prices and they really weren't too bad. My sister would be interested in knowing about my search. I remember how she really liked Kansas City.

Call me odd if you want to, but this is a hobby of mine. I love cars and I love houses. We own a house in Florida and we also built one in the Philippines. The house in the Philippines is a retirement home and a place for my wife's family to stay right now. A house in Kansas City or another part of this beautiful country would be a great summer home for all of my family.

The Old Torn And Tattered Bible

The Bible is old torn and tattered. It is a King James Version. The cover is torn off the Bible from many years of use. There is writing on nearly every page of the Bible. Thoughts from a man long past. Thoughts from a friend I lost over three years ago.

The Bible has been collecting dust in my closet for three years. I read my own Bible daily, but I couldn’t bear to touch the old torn and tattered Bible of my friend. When he passed, I was saddened more than I could have ever imagined. I had many sleepless nights. I remember waking up in the middle of the night, anxious. I wasn’t sure what was more painful. Being there for seven years and watching my friend die or dealing with his death.

Finally, in February on our trip to the Philippines everything came to a head. I had an anxiety on the plane and was anxious for nearly all of the eighteen days of our trip. I decided it was time for me to take a few steps closer to God. I mean I worshipped God, but I didn’t allow myself to get too close.

In the Philippines I found Associated Content and decided to write. This made me break out the songs I wrote with my friend before he died. Looking at the songs brought back wonderful memories. My friend in Indiana on the phone and I on the other end here in Florida. We talked everyday about God, politics and writing songs. He taught me how to write songs.

One day, I found the old torn and tattered Bible on a shelf in my closet. I finally had the courage to take it out and look at it. I was amazed at how torn up the Bible was. I was amazed at all the writing my friend had done within the pages of the Bible. This was my friend’s own personal Bible. Every thought he had about God was written down within the pages of this Bible. He left part of himself with me in the old torn and tattered Bible.

My friend was the one who led me back to God. I had fallen away and was angry at God. I did not care if I was alive or dead. My friend was always there for me. I was always there for him until the end. Finally, I realized something. My friend gave me this old, torn and tattered Bible for a reason. He did not want me to place it into the closet to collect dust. He wanted me to open the pages of the Bible (his Bible) and read the word of God. He left me a part of himself that will always be here with me. He left me the most important part of him. My friend left me a diagram of his own personal relationship with Jesus within the pages of this old torn and tattered Bible.

The old, torn and tattered Bible is now open. I am slowly reading the Bible along with the thoughts my friend wrote within its pages. I no longer have to mourn for my friend. He is alive within the pages of this old torn and tattered Bible. He is alive in Christ. He is alive for eternity. My friend is alive inside of my heart.

Survivor Philippines: For Real!

If you are a Survivor fan, you know that the 25th season of Survivor will be set in the Philippines. If you are Filipino, you are extra excited. The Philippines looks a lot like Hawaii and is located many miles away from the United States. The Survivor crew will have to fly as far as 10,000 miles to get there depending where they leave the United States. Survivor will be held in the islands of Caramoan in Camarines Sur, Bicol Region.

My wife is Filipino, she is from Cebu. We built a house in Cebu a couple of years ago and we love to visit the Philippines. The Philippines is known for friendly people, beautiful sites, Manny Pacquiao and now Survivor. It looks like this season of Survivor will be interesting. There will be three tribes and they will be living in an area that is loaded with cobras and wild animals on the land and a sea that is infested by man eating sharks. I look forward to this year of Survivor, it should be fun.

To our Filipino friends, watch this show if you get a chance. Your country will be on television every week. You get to show off your incredible country to the world. After Survivor, there will be a ton of people who know a whole lot more about the Philippines. They will see how beautiful it really is.

Sending Flowers By Post Can Make Your Woman Smile

Like most women, my wife loves flowers. I remember the first time I sent her flowers. She was living in the Philippines and I was living in Indiana. Her friend had just received flowers and she was a little jealous. She asked me why I didn't send her flowers. I told her we lived ten thousand miles away and I had no idea how to send flowers by postal flower service. Our conversation ended with her still being sad and me trying to figure out how to send her flowers.

I spent the rest of the days figuring out how to send flowers to a woman in the Philippines while I was living in Indiana. I checked out a whole bunch of florist, but none of them sent flowers to Cebu in the Philippines. I finally decided to make a search on Google to find a florist in the Philippines. I found a couple of florists and then I had to find out how to get in touch with them.

I had to buy a phone card to call the florist which I found at the local Chinese store. I called the florist, but I messed up the first time and the call did not go through. I finally got an answer on the third or forth time. I told the florist what I wanted and they asked me for my credit card information. Good thing the people at the florist actually spoke English. The flowers were delivered the next day and my future wife was happy.

Bamboo Is Used For A Lot Of Cool Things In The Philippines

I love the Philippines. I met my wife in Cebu and we eventually built a house for her family. Cebu is hot, tropical and the people are mostly poor. To me it looks like a poor man's Hawaii. There is so much beautiful scenery in the Philippines including the ocean, mountains and volcanoes. What is really cool in the Philippines is how they make use of bamboo and other natural products to make their lives better.

My wife's family built a bamboo fence around our house to keep out the animals and other people who don't belong. The bamboo fencing really improves the quality and looks of our house and yard. It is very sturdy has a fancy, but natural look to it.

Putting up the bamboo poles was a lot of work, but Filipinos are used to hard work. Their effort was worth it because the final product was a masterpiece. It looked so nice that we decided to put bamboo furniture in the house and it looks great. The Philippines is a fun place to visit and over the years has found a place in my heart. If you ever get the chance to go there, check it out and have the time of your life.

You Can Save Money When You Use Promotional Codes on Expedia

I love to travel, but I am not a rich man. I like to save money, so I always look for a great deal on my travel. It is always a good idea to always search for promotional codes before checking out at Expedia.com. I love using the Expedia website for my travel, but I always want to make sure I am getting the best deal. This is how you find promotional codes for travel on Expedia.


Go to Google.com and put promotional codes for Expedia in the box at the top of the page. Check to see if you can find a good coupon code you can use on the Expedia site. Go back to the Expedia site and search for the travel experience you want and use the coupon code to save extra money on your trip.


My wife is from the Philippines and a trip back to Cebu costs a pretty penny. When we decide to visit our house in Cebu, I begin my search for a good deal for the trip to the Philippines. I really like the Expedia site. They have comparable prices for our trip and I usually buy my tickets from them. I always check out four or five other sites, but usually I am back on the Expedia site buying our tickets.


We have a family of four who travel, so every buck we save on our trip is important. The length of the flight is important when you are flying all the way to the Philippines too. This is why I make sure I always search for promotional codes before checking out at Expedia.com

If I save a few hundred dollars on our trip, I am happy. This way we can use our savings for food or to do something fun when we reach Cebu. We are not a rich family, so every dollar we save is important to our budget. You would be smart to collect a promotional code before you shop for travel on Expedia too if you want to save yourself or your family some money. Remember, a penny saved is a penny earned. This means one hundred times for a dollar.

My Wife Got Her License To Drive

My wife got her license to drive today. I know big deal. This is a big deal to our family. My wife is from the Philippines and she never drove in Cebu. She is now 44 and I drove her to work and back for the past ten years. This is a huge step for her and our family. She no longer has to completely depend on me for everything.

I have been a stay at home for eight years and have had to work as a pizza delivery guy at night. My children are now in school full-time, so this move really helps me. My wife getting her drivers license gives me the ability to work around my children's schools and my wife's work. I do not have as much responsibility as I have had in the past ten years.
