Odds & Ends of Interesting Stuff!

For the kids, and the kid in us!  

(*Parents…please monitor your child’s time online.  I cannot vouch for the safety of any of these websites so supervise well, but they are fascinating sites!)

I just wrote a newsletter (*It's free for the asking!  Just email me and ask to be included, if you'd like!), and here were a few fun things from it!   

 

NEON HANDS interpret “Who am I”, the Christian song by the group Casting Crowns!  Be sure to watch to the VERY end when you get a brief glance of how they did it!   Amazing – touching!   Click HERE!

Meet FAITH – a dog born withOUT her two front legs!

 

With great “faith”, (*ok, pun was intentional!), she’s been taught to walk on her hind legs!  AMAZING! 

 

A love one has a dog with a very similar situation named “Scooter”.

Their dog was also born without fully formed front legs, but with the love and support from her great “people” family, she’s adapted quite well and “scoots” along!

 

These creatures truly inspire me! 

 

To see these dogs RISE ABOVE insurmountable odds, forsaking all that threatens to hinder them, encourages me to do the same!  I pray this humble dog inspires all to greatness!   She is amazing!  See Faith HERE!
