Caring Counts

2.1.2012 — 2 Comments

This is so cool. As people arrived for our prayer and Bible Study tonight at church, one of our ladies asked me, “Do you want another copy?” as she handed me today’s “Shippensburg Sentinel”. I said, “Why would I?”

I had no idea that our adorable Kindergartner had her picture in it!

Ella was recognized as one of two in her class for displaying the character trait of “caring” in the month of December! We knew about her being recognized for this (we have a certificate she brought home), but we had no idea it would be in the newspaper!

I’m one proud Daddy!

Ella pulled out her third baby tooth last night. In total, I captured almost 2.5gb of video of the ordeal – almost an hour’s worth. After she finally went to bed last night I edited it down to about 3.5-minutes and uploaded it to YouTube. Enjoy!

She told us last night that she couldn’t wait to walk down the aisle at church to show everyone her new toothless smile. Her other top-front tooth is quite loose, too, so I expect that to come out probably within the week!

Uhm. Wow. Need an “am I an emotional being” check? Watch this 3-minute commercial –

One of the most interesting people I follow on Twitter is @GiannaJessen. Her birth-story of being an abortion-survivor is incredible.

Recently she linked her followers to a movie coming in March entitled, “October Baby”. Jessen sings a track on the movie’s soundtrack and has a unique connection to the premise and story line of the movie.

The movie is sure to stir the pro-life / pro-choice communities – and I think it’s going to be an eye-and-heart opener for many who walk the line between.

Movie Description:

OCTOBER BABY is the coming of age story of a beautiful and naive college freshman who discovers that her entire life is a lie and sets out on a road trip with a host of misfits to discover herself and the answers she craves.

The movie trailer:

More information about the movie, its cast, and theatrical release locations available at OctoberBabyMovie.net.

Caught a few minutes of video yesterday morning of our kids singing and dancing to to the Hillsong Kids video, “Jesus, You’re My Superhero”:

If you have kids and they’re not yet listening to Hillsong Kids albums and/or DVDs… what are you waiting for?! We LOVE Hillsong Kids!
