Today 10 years ago when 9/11 happened. I was in my orphanage I heard about it but never knew what was going on. But I do know now. So many people died this day 10 years ego. Now we are remembering all those serving and loving hearts. Thank you to all who served and serving this country.

And yes today was the first day of a really football Sunday. We all love watching football.

Compassion and Love

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.   1 John 4:11

  Charles Allen once made this statement: "some people seem to have such a passion for righteousness that they have no room left for compassion for those who have failed."
  I pray that would never be true of us. God, our Father, has shown us such great kindness and gentle mercy. May we ever reach out to the lost in compassion and love to bring them gently to Jesus Christ. Jesus, "when He saw the multitudes....was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd"  (Matt. 9:36).
  Let me share these lines from an unknown poet:
     Just to be tender, just to be true,
     Just to be glad the whole day through,
     Just to be merciful, just to mild,
     Just to be trustful as a child:
     Just to be gentle and kind and sweet,
     Just to be helpful with willing feet...
     Just to let love be our daily key,
     That is God's will for you and me.

Camp Fire and Marshmallows

We had camp fire and roasted marshmallows. This is the first time for the three Ghana kids. They loved camp fire. We always have a blessed when we do camp fire as a family. Abraham played his guitar and we sang some songs.

This movie has been out for couple of weeks. We probably seen it 50 times :). Everyone here loves this movie. If you haven't seen it you should see it. It is funny and lots of music. So if you like music and laugh  alot you are going to like this movie.
