Are you thirsty?

I have been challenged this fall to find practical ways to meet very real needs. 

Are you wondering how you could make a difference this Christmas? 

I will probably put out other opportunities as well, but would like to propose that you think about providing clean water for those who need it.

“This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.”

Today is Tuesday, November 3, 2009.  Just another day and yet not! :-)   Today is the day that Starbucks begins serving their coffee in the Red Cups again!  I started this post on (11/03/09), but forgot about it!  My steam has been lost, but I can’t help but post at least one picture!!! :-)

Red Cup Joy

Tutoring was so much easier with this cup in my hand! :-)

 Oh and I promise to get to writing down my thoughts/continuation of the “Heart of It” at some point!  Just need to clear my mind and get rid of this headache!  Maybe I just need to get a Red Cup! :-)

Well, my little brother came down this weekend for the Seahawks game.  He enjoyed seeing Jerry’s world and the HUGE homes in our surrounding community.  However, the Seahawks did take quite a beating.  Actually, they played like c***!  We did not expect a win, but were hoping for a game!

We were in the nose bleed section and the players looked a bit like ants.  However, thankfully the 50 yard long screen was right at eye level! 

It was great to have my brother come visit.  We missed having Pat along for the journey, but I packed a weeks worth of activities into a weekend adventure.  Snuffers cheese fries with friends, Mamas Daughters Diner (with friends of course), The Stock Yards in Fort Worth, lots of house gazing, dinner with friends, visits with other friends, dessert and of course lots of COFFEE!!

Here is a picture from the game!Curry, me and AJ at the gameBrother Earon and I a the Cowboys/Seahawks game

So, I like the colors and texture for the most part.  However I ‘messed up’ about 3/4 of the way and when I tried to fix it, the final product ended up much darker than I wanted.  But I said I would put it up, so here it is!

:-)   Oh how I wish this looked really cool! :-)   But it’s my first time ever touching paints and canvas!  I have only done a little bit.  I’m adding a little each day.  It feels like I’m back in Kindergarten!
