Dec. 6, 2008 - We interrupt this Christmas chaos for an important announcement...

Overwhelmed by all of the craziness and commercialism that the Christmas season has become?  Want to do something different this year?

Some very good friends of ours will be making a trip to Haiti in a couple of weeks to give some precious children in two orphanages an amazing Christmas.  Our friends are making this trip on their own time at their own expense, but are asking for donations so they can buy food, clothing and mattresses for these very needy children.  Please consider helping them out.  Even if you can only do a little, every penny counts to a hungry child.  I see so much poverty on a daily basis, but I do not grow immune to it.  I am increasingly aware of the many needs out there and of my own overabundance.  My children have never experienced real hunger and I pray that they never have to, but I can't ignore the starving children around me!  With privilege comes responsibility.

Please watch this video, and consider if there's any way you might be able to help brighten the lives of some very precious children this Christmas.  Cole, the young man in the video, is a very good friend of ours.  He is an amazing photographer and has a heart of gold.  I can personally vouch for him.  Not one dollar he raises will be wasted - every penny of it will be going to those children!  The video is a few minutes long so it may take a bit to load, but it is well worth the wait!
