becoming a man!

i was nervous and concerned when finley gave silas a small hand ax for Christmas. I was personally hoping Silas would never use it! What if he cut his hand…head…or someone else? well, last weekend Silas went out with Fin to chop wood. I thought Si was just watching his daddy till Silas knocked on the back door holding a log. “Look Mom, I chopped this myself!” Yep…with that little ax. Boys will be boys.
(i love this kid!)

My Friend on the Ground in Haiti

I have had the privilege of working with Craig Miller of Thirst No More on several occasions over the years. We have partnered with him on many of the mission trips that our student ministry has taken all over the world. He is currently located in the Dominion Republic and is leaving today to start assisting people in Haiti.

Here is a video in which he explains what is included in the the PAKs (Primary Assistance Kits) that he is personally delivering to the people in Haiti. $50 will provide all the materials as well as the means to transport them there. He is a man of God and a very trustworthy partner in this ministry to the people of Haiti. If you would like to bless a family, you can give to Thirst No More and Craig will pass it along.
