Just Hang'in

A typical Thursday evening...

A picnic kinda day!

It is a beautiful day here! So beautiful we decided to have a picnic dinner complete with grilled corn on the cob and fresh fruit!


Jonathan LOVES corn on the cob. It is "better than dumplings" according to him!

Amanda and Jordan have been sick so we were not able to get any great Easter pictures of everyone all dressed up, but I am hoping maybe next Sunday we can pretend it is Easter and get all fancy.

Last Saturday we went downtown to the book and science fair. Ben was so excited to
see the mouse from the famous book "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie".

Jordan just asked Jeremy "Is Leo still a possibility?" His reply -"yes". We are hoping to see some movement in this situation by the end of the week. Please continue to pray for Leo and his birthmom. I love that Jordan is so willing to open up his heart and home to a child who needs a family.

We are so thankful for those of you who have emailed about donating to the laptop for Zambia. There is still time to be part of blessing this missionary and God's ministry in Zambia.

If you have no idea what I am talking about go back and read yesterday's post!

A laptop for Zambia

There's no easy, gentle way to begin this post. I'll just have to come right to the point. It's come to my attention that there is a missionary in Zambia who could really use a new laptop.

No, this isn't something I read in a suspicous email from a "wealthy Nigerian banker" ... this is real. The situation is that there is this missionary affiliated with my church who is stationed in Kasempa, Zambia along with his wife and children. There, he and his wife run an orphanage, a leper colony, and a radio station. The one laptop this man uses does it all -- all the normal activity you might expect PLUS it actually functions as a kind of server that runs the radio station!

You can just imagine the impact of something like ... a reboot! So what to do? Well, I'm gonna go get me a laptop! There's a team headed out from Philadelphia to Zambia in June, and I'd like to get a laptop, install the requisit software and send it along with them to Zambia.

It'll cost me a couple hundred bucks and, honestly, I could use some help.

Would you consider helping me in this worhty endeavor? If you would like to make a financial gift towards this goal ... please send me a message at laptop4zambia@gmail.com



I'm not asking any one person to make a huge gift ... but even a few modest sized gifts of $30, $40 or $50 dollars would go a long way towards this goal.

Anyway ... you get the idea. Drop me a line, let me know if you can help. Thanks.
