If it were possible to raise children to perfection, then God would have sent a parenting method, not Jesus. . . .
Our marching orders are to be Christians to and with our children. –Kathy

Don’t take it with you!

Are you an organ donor? If not, you need to be! Please don’t take your organs with you - they won’t do you any good once you’ve left this earth. PLEASE check into organ donation.

Don’t think your organs make a difference? Well, they DO! And you don’t even have to die to make an organ donation - bone marrow is another very big need and you can do that now while you are alive!

God is still in the business of miracles

Don’t believe me? Well, several months ago, I had a blog entry about young lady name Tricia who has cystic fibrosis. Just as she was preparing to begin her journey to prepare for a double lung transplant, she found out she was pregnant. I could tell you the whole story (I’ve been reading their blog and praying for them since early January), but it would be best if you started here. Long story short? Tricia was given a less then 50 percent chance that either she or the baby would survive. Guess what? Tricia is now out of the hospital after receiving her double lung transplant and her beautiful little girl - Gwyneth - born 15 weeks early will most likely go home this week. Don’t believe me? Read for yourself. But I warn you - it will change you! Happy Mothers Day Tricia!

Importance of 5 point Harness

Car seats for children are an absolutely awesome technology that can help you keep your child safe. The hardest part about the car seat, though, is knowing what kind of car seat and how to install it. I recently came across a video on Youtube that made me realize the importance of the 5 point harness system with car seats. I will caution you that this video WILL make you cry. But, for those of you who are parents of young kids, it’s an awesome opportunity for you to learn the importance of keeping your child in a 5 point harness system. The family of Kyle David Miller would like to make sure that you know the importance of this system so that his death was not in vain.

Great fundraiser this week

mamagrizzly — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 18:05:15 +0000

Carol Armstrong was robbed of her purse and her car back in 2002. She suffered a stroke and required surgery that removed a portion of her brain. She will forever be bound to a wheelchair. Her current home is not wheelchair accessible and so it makes most tasks nearly impossible for Carol to accomplish by herself.

The Charleston Trident Home Builders Association is having a fund raiser this Friday April 25th . They are going to break ground on a brand new wheelchair accessible home for Carol Armstrong and her family! From an email I received last night:

The groundbreaking and a party to celebrate are being held on Friday night at the Knight’s family barn off Highway 17-A (across from Fisher Rd). The dinner will feature an all you can eat spaghetti buffet (donated by Mr. K’s Piggly Wiggly), open bar, a line dancing show and live music. If you have never been to Knight’s barn, that is reason enough to go. It’s a real site to see. A donation of $30/per person will be collected at the door. Free for kids! No need to RSVP, but I hope to see you there.

I also received two pdfs with the email. One about Carol and the home being built and the other about the fundraiser. I also found directions on Carol’s personal blog. What a wonderful way to have a great time with your family and do some good for another family! Hope to see you all there!

Guess where I get to go tomorrow?

We bought 2 tickets to the “Walking with the Dinosaurs” show that is coming to the North Charleston Coliseum. The tickets were expensive - even when you buy the cheapest seats. We only bought 2 so one of us could take our 4 year old son. It wasn’t worth spending the money for our soon to be 2 year old daughter. Well, my husband wants ME to take our son and I am SO excited! I’ll give a report after the show!
