his prize

We both cried today as we heard Larry Norman passed away on Sunday. He was a faithful and true witness, an empowering voice for the Spirit of true freedom in Christ and against the crippling legalism that seeps into the body.

Leon wrote a song a while ago called 'his prize'. Larry wrote about being his prize just before he died. Read it at http://www.larrynorman.com/

fund raising ideas

We have received our fourth donation. "Thank you Lord".

If anyone wants to organize a fund-raiser for the adoption we would be glad to help any way we could. I have a few ideas. They are: a bake sale, garage sale, concert, or spaghetti dinner. If this happened locally we could help by donating stuff or in the case of the concert, we could play and maybe talk some of our musical friends into also playing. If someone donated fabric I could probably make some of those dresses to sell.
Around here we are loving the weather, making sour dough, and chopping up those hundreds of pounds of onions for freezing. Our garden fence posts and cattle panels (which are 4 feet of the ground) are starting to be visable as the snow declines slowly. Most are still completely under the snow as are the raspberry posts and the rather large snow man that the children made a while ago. I'm glad we thought to remove the snow-mans hat and scarf before it was completely submerged in snow. It feels and looks like summer outside. It smells so clean.
Our girls have now moved into the bedroom downstairs to prepare for the arrival of our children from Liberia.
