First Gift

I'm pretty sure no one reads my blog that doesn't read my sisters.....but just in case, I want to make sure that the word gets out. Tomorrow is a big day. Before the holiday season starts, lets put our hearts and money in the right place.
"Every day, 4500 mothers bury their children due to contaminated water. They are forced to sustain their families with a diabolical liquid that contains both life and death. This lack of clean water is the leading cause of death in underdeveloped nations. And it just doesn't have to be! So as we gear up to scurry through department stores and browse endless catalogs in search of new jeans, Tonka Trucks, gadgets and dolls....we are pausing. We are pausing. And today, November 13th, we are buying water. Clean, life-saving water. $10 will provide one person in Africa clean water for 10 years. It will literally change and possibly save someone's life. A mother. A child. A brother. A grandfather. We are rallying together for a cause. Clean water. One day. $10. Asking everyone to let this be their first gift. Let water, let life be their first gift of the season."
Tomorrow, Nov. 13th, go here

It's about water...

bottom line....it's about water! But I can't help but be so proud of my sister. She does not to do it alone! But I know that she carries a heavy weight, it keeps her up at night. I look at these pictures with amazement. She was willing to enter someones nightmare and in return her story is one worth telling.

A Retreat

I've taken my staff and we've gone to the country. It's more than I
expected. A quiet morning, a little football this afternoon, and a
beautiful sunset. I'll be home tomorrow;)

Missy Davis

Our friend Missy invited us to her place last night for tacos. Missy
just moved here from Denver. We have really enjoyed our time with her.
I brought over homemade apple pie from scratch for dessert. Be
impressed:)

An empty roll of foil....

But so worth it!

"In contemporary society our Adversary majors in three things: noise,
hurry, and crowds. If he can keep us engaged in "muchness" and
"manyness," he will rest satisfied."

Small Town America

We just happen to be in the home town of our good friend Sara Jensen.
We caravaned ou here with her, Toby, and Zoe. She showed us around and
took us to her favorite childhood ice cream place. So fun!

Wedding in Indiana
