There’s no telling where help comes from especially after a natural disaster. Recently fires swept through the Black Forest area leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. In fact, there was a swath of 55 square miles and over 500 homes that were wiped out in the fires. That’s a massive cleanup effort to be sure. But thanks to a team of relief volunteers from the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma that cleanup has become a little less strenuous. All told there were up to 10 different teams who made their way to Colorado Springs with each team spending a couple of weeks in the effort. Keep in mind that these folks weren’t getting paid and were working outside of their own state which had seen its fair share of natural disasters. It’s an amazing tribute to the kindness of strangers!

In the market for a new kitchen range? Luckily, you’ll have a range of choices! Actually, when you talk about power there are only two choices: gas or electric. Put those two types of stoves side by side and you’ll see right away that the gas oven is going to cost you more. But, it’s going to cost less to operate. The average cost of running a gas stove is around 7 cents an hour while an electric over actually costs around 16 cents an hour. That might not seem like a lot for an hour of baking but add that up over several years and you can see where paying a little bit more for a gas oven will turn out to be more cost effective. How much more? If the average kitchen stove lasts around 15 years then it will cost you approximately $382 in gas versus $867 in electric power. Translation: What could you do with $500 extra dollars in your pocket?
