How we spent our Monday!

This summer the children of our church were challenged two way! One to read 90 chapters in 90 days (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Acts 1) and to find ways to make money to put Bibles in the hands of children in other countries. Bekah was all over that and wanted to have a Bake Sale. With the help of my sister Kam and my good friend Diane we had plenty of delicious baked goods! Bekah was a real trooper! She spent most of the day out in our front yard waiting for those customers! When she went to Piano practice her brother and cousin watched it for her, so Kudos to them also! Her friend Alexis came over to help after Piano practice. It was a fun day and Bekah made over $70, probably close to $80 to send bibles overseas! Praise God! Thanks for all you wonderful ladies that came out and supported her effort! You are truly her aunts in Christ! Here are few pictures of the day!

Oh Yeah, Scooby helped hold up the sign! It was his last ditch effort to stay at our house! His days are numbered! Not even Craig's List will take him! Hey now there's a post to come "CRAIG'S LIST"! Have you ever heard of it! May do things go fast on there! In 15 minutes (literally) we got rid of a Riding horse, Queen Size mattress, and get this my old 6 foot cut out of Worf (ya now from Star Trek)! I thought he was sexy for a clingon! Hey what did I know I was single at the time, alot of aliens looked sexy!!!!!

Way to go Bekah!!!! Thanks Jeremiah for helping out today too! I'm glad to see that so many things were sold! But how can you go wrong buying yummies and at the same time put Bibles in the hands of kids!!
