help for Georgia tornado victimsMar. 21, 2007
     I received the following e-mail from April Estes, a homeschooling mom in Lawrenceville, GA.  I thought that I would pass it along to any readers of this blog who might be interested.
 
     I am a member on the Yahoo group (Biblical Homeschooling), and have a simple request I was hoping you could indulge.  We currently live in Lawrenceville, GA, but lived in Americus, GA, for 20 years.  As you know, tornadoes swept through recently, wiping out half the town.  Our church (Williams Road Church of Christ) had 2 members and 1 elder greatly affected.  My homeschooling daughter, Savannah (5), mentioned wanting to help.  I told her that we "do what we know" - she then informed me that she knows how to draw.  So, we are trying to raise funds for Americus through our talents (hers, drawing - mine, writing). 
 
     She is selling 8.5 x 11 prints for a suggested donation of $3 (or more, if people are inclined).  This will include the shipping.
 
     I am joining her by donating signed copies of my book, Seeing the Father Through a Dad, for a suggested donation of $20 (this includes the shipping).  Some members might have remembered seeing the reviews from The Christian Chronicle, or hearing me speak at Freed-Hardeman University's Christian Training Series a few years ago.  This book is a perfect Father's Day gift for any new or seasoned father - through short, sentimental stories it shows the spiritual significance fathers truly have in raising their children, even in the "insignificant, everyday life routines".  
 
     ALL PROCEEDS will go to the Williams Road Church of Christ.
 
     Please contact me at: estesjasa@charter.net or 770-573-3096 with any questions.
 
     I hope and pray that a simple posting on your site will give us an outpouring of love to show both the people in Americus, as well as my daughters, what wonderful things can be accomplished when God is involved!
 
God Bless!!
