"This benefit sale is being conducted by friends of the Estes Family, owners of  HandsAndHearts.com. Many of you already know Jeff and Kate Estes and their children, but you might not be aware of the many difficulties their family (and particularly 9 month old baby Noah) have gone through this past year. If you are not familiar with their story, let me encourage you to take some time to read this post on their blog to see what they have been through the past several months.  (Take your time, we'll wait.) The purpose for this benefit sale is be a blessing to this dear family, who have been such a wonderful example and encouragement to others, even as they have gone through some very trying days themselves."

Shanan Community derives its name from the Hebrew word, "Shanan" (pronounced shah-nahn'), found in Deuteronomy 6:6-9. The word means to impress or teach diligently; to sharpen, to bring into focus."

There is a web site for Shanan: www.shanan.org  Although I can't seem to get that web site to open up with my server, maybe some of you will be able to.
