6.††††††††††† Our church has convergence every three months.† It was this past week and it was amazing.† The first week of December they had a ëReverse Titheí and gave out $5000 with instructions to use your talents and turn it into whatever you can.† Kei made knitted things and we turned $10 into $60.† Everyone turned in their money last night and we got over $20,000 !† It was an amazing night.
††††††††††††††† We had given up television for our Churchís 40 Day Fast and we donít intend to go back to how it was.† We are only watching 2-3 shows that we love and movies and videos for homeschooling.† We got so much more accomplished and both feel so much better with it mostly out of our lives.†
I am linking up with Mary at Homegrown Learners for her Collage Friday!

how exciting! happy birthday to your sweet girl! she looks excited! 🙂
Oh, man, I’m jealous! I’d love to see Wicked! I wanted to see it when it was in Chicago but never made it. Now I’m waiting for it to come back. And I think you’re church’s idea is awesome on so may different levels!
That’s a great gift and such a fun way to give it to her. Davan would have loved something like that presentation, too. In fact, she said, “That would be really cool if it ended with Cirque du Soleil tickets!”
I hope you and Keilee have a great time.
Sounds like an amazing week 🙂 I have heard that Wicked is such a good show…have fun! And, yes, those cupcakes do look incredible!
Looks like a great week and great birthday gift! I have heard great things about Wicked! Those cupcakes look awesome too!!!
