Opened Clouds

My Dad drove me and my little brother to my Grandma's house, and it was slowly growing dark.  I bring my camera nearly everywhere I go, so I put it to good use on that long road trip and took a lot of photos before the sun completely disappeared.  This is one of those photos I captured.

Happy end of January !

A Beautiful Orange Sunset

On our way to Church this week, we stopped at a Dollar General so my little brother could buy something really quick.  He wanted to show it to our "Church Friends".  While we waited, I saw how orange the sky was getting (more than it usually does).  I took my camera and telephoto lens out of the case and snapped about 30 photos of the sunset.  It was so much more beautiful in real life!

Measuring Cups

These are some measuring cups that my Mom received as a gift.  A couple days ago, I was on a "macro spree" with my dSLR.  Anything close-up that caught my eye was photographed. This was one of them.

Five Days In Uganda

From January 27th through the 31st, Compassion Bloggers is returning to Uganda after five years of sharing stories of helping impoverished children.  In five days, through blog writing, the goal is to have 400 children sponsored.  

That's not a very big number, is it?

For only $36 a month, you can give a child in poverty the opportunity to hear and learn about Jesus, a good education, hygiene training, health care, good meals and a caring, safe and Christian environment to grow in.  

 Over 1 million children have been sponsored through Compassion International since it began in 1952.  Of the goal for 400, over ten children have already been sponsored!

Somewhere, a little boy or girl is needing the love of Jesus.  They need to know what real love and hope is.  You can give them the care they need if you choose to sponsor an impoverished child through Compassion.

Just imagine living on $1.25 a day.  Wouldn't you want someone to help you and tell you about Jesus?

Now is 400 really a big number?

Saturdays Selections

Romans 1:16 is one of my favorite Bible verses.  It reminds me to never be afraid to show Jesus to someone.  And one time, a person asked me about my cross necklace!  I wear it every day and I'm hoping my reactions are showing the reason why I wear it.

The Peacock Coffee Mug

This is my Mama's coffee mug.  She bought it at a Cracker Barrel store because she likes almost anything peacock.  It's her coffee cup, but I like taking photos of it anyway.  :)

Pizza: It's What's For Dinner

My Mom doesn't always make homemade pizza, so she'll sometimes pick up a frozen one at ALDI for lunch.  I honestly like the homemade one better, but frozen isn't so bad.  My Mom can bake a billion times better than any person at Digiorno or Pizza Hut any day.
