Daily prayer, but not daily blog

So I was going to post what I pray for my kids everyday, but apparently I don't get on the computer every day. I'll just post the whole list instead, right after I finish this post about Mother's Day. :)

One Family Campaign

Daily Prayer

A few weeks ago, our pastor encouraged us to make a list of 31 things we'd like to pray for our children and pray for one each day. I wanted to share my list with you each day hoping that you'd pray for your children too. I pray the same thing for all three of them. Really because I can't keep 3 different lists straight, but also because each thing I pray for applies to all of them differently. Since it's already May 3rd, I'll catch up.

May 1 - Being a witness

May 2 - Salvation/confidence of salvation

May 3 - To be respectful

Hopefully I'll remember to post something everyday. :)

Ethiopia Trip Pictures

Here are just a few pictures from Jon's trip. So much to be done over there, and you can help. Read about it HERE.


Sweet singing. :)


This picture is taken at AHOPE,
which is a child development center for HIV+ children.
They eat 3 meals a day and attend 7 days a week.

One of our favorite friends over there, Abel.

Jon traveled with Knox Co. Commissioner, Mike Hammond.

Our other favorite person, Birtukan. We LOVE her!

This is our little girl we sponsor, Fantanesh,
wearing her new dress Jon brought her.

Happy kids.

He bought this bushel of bananas for 30 birr, which is a little less than $2.

Early morning fishermen at Lake Awassa.

African Huts.

One family, with two older boys seen here,
has taken in a little girl as a foster child.

Here she is. Isn't she the cutest thing? :)
