Thank You Michael and Kim Perry

We were given this amazing gift from Michael and Kim Perry. Dan and I want to thank them for this priceless photo taken by Michael on their trip to China. This is a local school which shows these precious kids during class (notice the english alphabet on the blackboard)! We LOVE this gift and will cherish it forever! Thank you, thank you, thank you ...

Look for more of Michael's work in our Blessed Journey Mentoring Handbook ....it's coming along (life has a way of taking over and I barely squeek out enough time to reach my deadlines our writer has given me) luckily she is very patient with me!

First Friday - January



We had a wonderful time last Friday night. Dan and I were so thrilled to host over 130 people! The night started for many with dinner at LaDolce Vita which is right around the corner from the church. Amy Christopher and Kim Perry are organizing this group so please contact them if you are interested in joining the group at 5:30 for dinner before FF. Amy is amychristopher@comcast.net , thanks for keeping this going!

We are so grateful to Rich, Denise, Marissa and Reese Hall for sharing their story with us. I know many families live by the National Geographic "China's Lost Girls" while they are waiting. This has been such an amazing work, something families can share with extended family and just to watch and try to put yourself in that place during the wait is so helpful to so many. Thanks Hall family you guys have been such a HUGE part of countless families journey's!

Some pictures to share with you!
Dinner with the group at LaVita Dolce!
