THE LENGTHS I WILL GO TO IN ORDER TO AVOID MAKING A PHONE CALL | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JULY 2011.

February 3, 2022

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JULY 2011. I’ve been wanting to get a piano for our house for almost a year now.  We previously had a baby grand but it took up too much space, so we sold it and then my plan was to replace it with an upright.  But Craig’s List . . . it’s just so much work with the calling and the appointment-making.  Finally, this week I found a piano at a local thrift store.  Only $99!  It’s really plain but that’s what I was wanting, because my plan is . . .

Wednesdays Child Raymond

February 2, 2022

Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .

BLOGGERS, CHARITIES, AND THE QUESTION OF POVERTY TOURISM | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JULY 2011.

January 27, 2022

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JULY 2011. There was some interesting brouhaha on twitter this week from the blogging world.  In case you aren’t completely entrenched in the blogosphere, I’ll break it down: Heather Armstrong, writer of the mother of all blogs Dooce, went on a media trip to Bangladesh along with Christy Turlington, to learn more about what the charity Every Mother Counts is doing.  Cool, right? Well, the trip received backlash and a public fight played . . .

CAN THIS GENERATION ERADICATE POVERTY? | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JUNE 2O11.

January 20, 2022

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JUNE 2O11. Compassion International is behind a new campaign called Live58, aimed at uniting churches to eradicate poverty in the next century.  I’m excited about it for several reasons.  First, I’m a longtime fan of Compassion – we have been a part of their child sponsorship program for some time and have always loved the work they do.  I also love the fact that they are calling on Christians to respond to poverty in a tangible way.  I’m . . .
