Williamsburg


We had a great time in Williamsburg. We were there a whole week with the MOMYS group. MOMYS stands for mothers of many young siblings so there were mostly big vans. You can look them up
at www.momys.com. (I have no idea why that is showing up as a link???)We were there a week.(Friday to Friday) There was cable in the place we stayed and we were mesmerized and shocked to say the least. LOL There were a lot of fun activities planned like the girls tea party and colonial dancing. We had tours given every day by Pete Olsen of Vision Heirs minsitries. His site is www.visionheirs.com. We did some things in costume but it rained the first 5 days we were there and it was cold so we didn't wear costumes to the tours.
It was a great time and great fellowship.
Here are some pictures.Some of the parents at dinner.
Savannah and I at the ATGT.
Before we left for the Parents night out dinner.

Red Envelope Day...Please participate

I know this is late notice but you can do it online at this address http://www.redenvelopeday.com/send.html

http://www.RedEnvelopeDay.com

Get red envelopes or postcards (http://www.zazzle.com/RedEnvelopeDay) and mail them on March 31st to the White House

When:
March 31st, 2009

Get a red envelope. You can buy them at Kinkos, or at party supply stores. On the front, address it to

President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington , D.C. 20500

On the back, write the following message.

This envelope represents one child who died because of an abortion.
It is empty because the life that was taken is now unable to be a part of our world.

We will mail the envelopes out March 31st, 2009.

Put it in the mail, and send it. Then forward this event to every one of your friends who you think would send one too. I wish we could send 50 million red envelopes, one for every child who died [in the U.S.] before having a chance to live.

It may seem that those who believe abortion is wrong are in a minority. It may seem like we have no voice and it's shameful to even bring it up. Let us show our President and the world that the voices of those of us who do not believe abortion is acceptable are not silent and must be heard.

Together we can change the heart of The President and save the lives of millions of children.

The event wall is not for discussion regarding the abortion issue. If you don't agree with this event or what it stands for please do not attend.

Wall posts may be deleted for any reason.

Thank you.

Barack Obama spoke at a Planned Parenthood Action Fund event, uttering the now infamous line, "Well, the first thing I'd do as president is, is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. [Applause.] That's the first thing that I'd do."

An empty red envelope will send a message to President Barack Obama that there is moral outrage in this country over this issue [The Freedom of Choice Act, which will essentially “undo” every law currently in place to limit abortion in the U.S. (i.e., parental consent laws, parental notification, waiting periods, prohibition of transporting a minor girl across state lines to obtain an abortion, etc.)]. It will be quiet, but clear.

Please read more about The Freedom of Choice Act here:

We are home

We are home from Williamsburg. We had a great time. I will post pix and hopefully some video later.
I am so glad to be home. It was a nice week with great fellowship but there is nothing like being in your own home.
Thank you God for this home you have graciously given us.
