In the Beginning

This is my 3.5 year-old's account of creation as overheard in the car tonight: “On the first day, God created light and dark. On day two, God created squishy fish and pens for people to write with. On the next day, He made creatures and squishy fish and animals that creep and crawl and hop and gallop. On the next day, he made light and dark and Adam. On the next day, He made people and cars and trucks and helicopters and boats and tractors. On the next day, He made engines and buses to go everywhere. And shapes and colors. On the next day, He made toys to go in the stores. On the next day, he made numbers and letters. The end. Wasn’t that a good Bible story?”

Walking For a Cure

Back in January, a friend of mine, Debbi Gunn, called me very excited about something. She has a very close friend who suffers from cystic fibrosis and was frustrated by her daily struggle with the disease. So, in an attempt to turn her frustration into something positive, she contacted the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to find out what she could do to help find a cure for the disease. They told her about the annual Great Strides fund-raising walk. She immediately signed up and invited everyone she knew to walk as part of Team Tisa (named in honor of her friend). And that is why she was calling to me: to see if I would be willing to walk with her. I joined Team Tisa, and this Saturday, April 21, my family and I will join in the two-mile walk. Now I am asking you, if you would be willing to sponsor my family as we attempt to raise $1000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. You can make an online, tax-deductible donation here. Thanks for your consideration and any donation you can give!
