I'm in the process of updating the credit cards that Carly and I use for general purposes, and thus - I needed to update my billing information with Rogers (among others).

After spending about 10 minutes trying to figure out where the heck I could possibly go in their shiny new account management web-app to update my credit card information, I finally thought I'd try the link that looks like it will change my automatic payments to pre-authorized debit instead of pre-authorized credit card. Of course, that's not what I wanted - but I thought maybe, just maybe I'll be able to somehow in here find a way to update my credit card.
Lo! Hark! Finally I'm given the option to select a new payment method.

Why on earth is there no "Update Credit Card" link on that account page? Seriously. Aggravating. Fail.

This past Sunday, I was reminded by Brad Sumner of one of my favorite passages written by C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity:

I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give.  I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.  In other words, if our expenditure on comforts, luxuries, amusements, etc., is up to the standard common among those with the same income as our own, we are probably giving away too little.  If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say they are too small.  There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charities expenditure excludes them.

I think this is something to aspire to, and holds truth regardless of religious persuasion. I also think that churches that are still beating the "10% tithe" drum have completely missed the boat on what it means to give and live generously, as opposed to dogmatically.

Carly and I love getting the house ready for Christmas. Definitely one of our favourite times of the year.
