it snowed last night.
it's still snowing today.
school was cancelled.
AND,
we are experiencing a veritable heat wave.
it is 16 degrees...
the kids were begging not to wear hats.
that is where i draw the line.
if the temperature still has the word teen in it,
you must wear a hat.
but no coat is perfectly acceptable
once we hit twenty. :)
it is a new year,
and it is time to sign up for recurring giving
at water4christmas.com
last year, when the christmas season ended,
we had been changed.
we needed a way to keep water in the front of our minds,
so we created a way to give twenty dollars every month for a year,
we called it 300 voices.
this is the exact same thing :)
and if you were a part last year, you need to sign up again :)
but don't do it yet...
wait until tomorrow,
so we can all do it together, collectively,
as one ocean of change.
the thing is,
we here in america like to do things big.
we super size everything.
we somehow feel that if our portion is BIGGER,
we are getting a better deal.
if we are given the best, the biggest, the most, that we are really living.
so why should this be any different?
give big.
give recklessly.
be the best and biggest giver possible this year...
and start by signing up here.
if you don't have a paypal account, you can send in a check, to the address listed here.
12 people.
12 months.
20 dollars a month.
that is what we are asking...
tomorrow.
give with intention.
give life to 12 people this year.
this is an opportunity to join our voices together,
to be the change we want to see.
but why not do more?
super size your donation.
just in time for christmas photos...
basketball proved to be a game of street ball yesterday. :)
lately,
brody's favorite thing to do is arrange one of the nativities we have.
it happens to be my favorite one,
because no one understands why there is a huge rooster,
or why baby jesus looks like a thirty year old man.
on this particular day,
i walked through the room,
and stopped.
maybe it was the way the light was coming in,
or maybe it was something more divine,
but at this particular moment,
there was nothing more beautiful.
beauty and light
all wrapped up
in one magical moment
last weekend the kids lead worship...
it was adorable
and perfect
and made me remember how much i love kids,
everyone's kids.
