one less meal at a restaurant

For less money than most families pay for a meal at a restaurant each month, you can literally change the life of a child for all eternity. The Bible calls this "storing up treasures in heaven." I call it "reversing the blessing," because much is received in the giving. Compassion Connection, World Vision, African Orphan Outreach and It's About Kids are just a few groups focusing on ministry-outside-the-church-doors. Won't you pick just one, take God at His Word, and make the commitment? (Pictured are Martha, Grace and Tony in Ecuador, It's About Kids)

the whole earth His canvas

As unaware of the air that I breathe, I am often unaware of God's creativity unfolding around me every day. Every fingerprint, every embrace, every moment unlike the last, our Maker is dancing with glee around His own and surprising us with colors and sounds. Are we listening?

This butterfly hatched right before my eyes at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle in late August. A glory to behold.
