(click on the photo to go to a great site!!) I have 2 places I want you to go today from here. The first is my husband's website for his triathlon THIS WEEKEND!!!! Oh yes, y'all-God once again showed up BIG time and we are believing Him for something awesome!! When we set out, our goal was to raise about $1200 for Korah. God very quickly (as in overnight, in less than 12 hours, immediately!) blew that goal out of the water and said "Who do you think you are dealing with here, an amateur??" So my hubby set the goal a little higher, going for DOUBLE the original number and shooting for $2400, which was also quickly reached. A little seed got planted in my head to pray for something crazy-$5000. What? Well, the tri is in 3 DAYS, and we are at $3400!!!!! After knowing Him a long time and seeing what God is capable of, I look at that and say "ONLY $1600 more? Let's do it!!" Can you be the one(s) to help us get to that crazy $5k??
Here is the link-click it and take a few minutes to peruse the website, it is a lot of fun to read!!
GO! (please :) ) There is no running/biking/swimming involved just for reading, btw ;)
The second place I want you to go is to
this blog post. You all know we are big
Compassion supporters (if you click on the Compassion link on my sidebar, you can go find out how to sponsor a child if you want!) and I love when they send a group of bloggy folks on a Compassion Blogger trip. Right now the current group of bloggers in in Guatemala and this post made me shout "yes!! that is exactly it!!" It is my heart in someone else's words...

From the Compassion blog post...."No one tells you that wealth numbs you to life and consumerism callouses your soul to the sacred!" I am going to shout that out my front door--God is so much more...
my favorite is this: "Maybe it's this: God hides with the poor and in the pain and we can only witness Him at His most beautifully creative work in the places needing redemption.
Maybe we are only at our most beautiful work in the same places too --- the places where we don't hide behind the distractions of stuff, where we finally empty our hands of all our possessions and idols and come to God empty and ready. The places where we can make art with tears. "
