Going through the "To File" pile!

Isn't the modern paperless society we live in wonderful?! I couldn't imagine the size of my "To File" pile had we lived in the paper driven society of the past. There are rules like "I" before "E" except after "C" except the word "Society" has an exception to that rule as the does the paperless society.

I've gotten my stack of paper down about one-third...that missing third actually went into the circular file with about half ending up on my "action" pile and the balance going back into the file pile folder and returned to the cabinet.

What's in my stack? Well, contact information, marketing notes, phone call scripts, website ideas and app notes, really good doodles I want to keep, you know, the details behind the action items n my To-Do list! We won't be covering that today.

But we will be needing help with sets, scripts, curriculum, artwork, technical work, notes, props, extras, stand-ins...the list can seem endless at times. What also seems endless is the needs that we have. There is one who I'm so happy is endless. God is bigger than and better equipped to meet all of our needs. Even my stack of papers!

Be of good cheer, He has overcome the world!!

Prayer is a Powerful Thing!

Its been almost a month since the last blog entry. Sorry about that. I'll do better.

The last time we were together I mentioned the $75,000 goal for this summer. We currently stand at $32,000 with just a month under our belts! God's people are incredible!

The prayer thing? Oh, yeah. Also about the same time we assembled a prayer bookmark to send out to our mailing list. A few days after the mailing went out a funny thing happened. Things began to happen! Harvey was able to set-up some speaking engagements, we received large monetary gifts. The door opened to begin proceeding with the next phase of KidzCan anda general lightening of the atmosphere here. Prayer is powerful and we can feel the affects of your fervent prayers as you intercede on our behalf. God is blessing!

For those who didn't receive a book mark, here's a copy:
