I just feel like there's going to be a favorite post about a 3rd school. I know my family is waiting to give after Thanksgiving when we vote on our charity of choice this year (I know at least 4 of us are voting to go through your blog). There have to be others waiting a little while longer to give too.

Saving seats. It was a rather recent post. As amusing as many others.

I really look forward to that day.
You are right, there have been several pots on here that are my favorite, but my favorite of all time will be the day that we reach out goal and the zakk attakk gets completly accessorized and metroed out.

Oh no. Wrong thread.
I meant to post this on the ChickFilA thread. Sorry.
You can now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

FYI, Julie IS a hippy. For some reason, she's my 8-year-old's latest favorite and that's what she's asking Santa for. She feels sorry for Julie, because her parents are divorced, and admires her "teenager-ness."
We have tried to remind her of how much she loves playing with ELizabeth and Felicity, the historical ones, but she says their fancy clothes are too hard to get off and on, and besides their hair's all wrecked, and Julie's is smooth. (Plus, though she didn't say it, I bet Julie's clothes come off a lot quicker) (Just sayin').

Jon, do you think I should tell her that Santa doesn't like hippies?

That's good fund raising, right there. We aren't just about these kids, we are about the tens of thousands of lives that will be affected by affecting these kids.
Keep selling the vision. It's not about the dollars. It's about the Lord doing something unbelievable in the lives of those kids.

Who would have thunk it, huh? I've watched this sight over the past year and the community here never ceases to amaze me. God is amazing. And I think we've given a pretty good argument for sarcasm being a spiritual gift.

I've been teaching music for years now. There are always a few kids who can't afford it who have a heart and passion for music who still need a chance. For those kids I normally find a way to get them an instrument and the lessons they really want. All those kids have gone on to do the same kind of thing for others. I always tell those kids that I'm willing to buy stock in their futures… that they are so worth investing in their lives. You can be sure that the kids who go to those schools will know that they are loved and cared for. They'll know that God has loved them enough to meet them right there where they live. That kind of love is a powerful thing in kids lives. Thanks again for the opportunity to share in being God's hands and heart to those kids.
