Compassion...

I don't know if you know about this, but this week, there has been a group of semi-famous bloggers on a trip to El Salvador with Compassion International.  Because two of the bloggers are ones that I read on a daily basis, I've been keeping up with what they're doing down there.

One of them is Kelly from http://kellyskornerblog.com/.  I have been following her blog for over a year.

Two other blogs that I read are BigMama and BooMama and they both linked to Shaun Groves' website to this post.  Shaun Groves is a Christian singer/songwriter. 

I read it.  It made me cry.  Obviously, this is no hard feat these days, but when you combine children and difficult things in life, my ears perk up, my eyebrows raise, and I usually cry.

But you know what's more effective than crying?

Doing something about it.

So, do you think it's any small coincidence that 2 days ago, Stephen told me that we have some extra money that we need to be praying about how to spend it before the end of the year?

I know what I want to do with $38 of it per month!

Go to http://www.compassion.com/ if you'd like to join me!

I'm 100% sure it's a decision that you'll never, ever, ever regret.

Whoops...

Huzz emailed me this little video, since we've been going to so many baseball games.

Pretty funny!

He's Got the Moves...

I can only hope that one day, our kid(s) have this much talent so that I can always be entertained!

So adorable...

Ameen was one of my third grade students when I worked in Maryland. How cute is he? When I left that school, I was engaged to get married the next fall.

I can't wait for the reply when I write him back and tell him I have gotten married, and I'm going to have a baby!
