A Note From Janice

Over the past few months, I've been mentoring a young single mom. She's working very hard to follow God, and put her life on the right path. I'm so proud of her and the progress she's making. Part of her journey is moving into a stable living environment, which she has found. However, because of her limited income, some of the nice things that would make a house a "home", she doesn't have or can't afford. So, I've been putting my feelers out, letting people know about the need, and seeing what God does with it.

Here's what she could use...

-A new bed with Linens Pillows
-A Reading chair with side table
-Shelf small for books, paper etc.
-Small rug for the reading area
-Reading lamp reading extends over chair
-Nightstand
-Window treatments
-Baskets for closet
-TV and Wall mount
-Picture frames (dark wood), Candles, decorations
-Bath toys
-Towels
-Wastebasket
-Bed for 2 year old, with linens
-Kids dresser
-Toy bin
-Plastic bins with drawers

If you want to know more, or want to help, comment on this post.

Thanks, Janice.

Giants vs Vikings...in Detroit!


On Sunday, the snows in Minneapolis collapsed the roof of the Metrodome. As a result, the Giants (our favorite team) game against the Vikings was moved one day later and two states over. Instead of playing Sunday at 1:00 in Minnesota, they played Monday night at 7:00 in Detroit. To sweeten the deal, the NFL offered free tickets to the first 30,000 people who showed up. When you’re a Giants fan living in the Midwest, you pretty much assume you’ll always watch your team on TV. But, when the NFL offers up free tickets only 2 hours away, you jump on it like a fat kid on a Twinkie.

So, Jay, Joey, Jack and Jack’s friend Ethan drove to Detroit Sunday night, braved the cold Monday to stand in line waiting for the game, and eventually got to watch the Giants beat the Vikings 21-3. For Joey, Jack and Ethan, it was their first NFL game. For Jay, it was one of those “I love being a dad” memories that will be cherished for a long time. Take a look…
