Just $1 for Haiti



How often do we waste a dollar?  Leave it in a pants pocket to get washed, AND dried, lose it in our car, buy a drink from a vending machine.... you get my drift? I am as guilty, if not more, as everyone out there-but I can tell you right now-that one dollar can go a long way in another country right now.  I'm sure all of you have heard about it by now-the devastating earthquake that trembled Haiti on January12, 2010.  The devastation is so massive-it's unfathomable-they can't even put numbers on it yet-numbers of the dead, injured, missing, orphaned-those are things almost all of us can't even begin to imagine having to deal with.  I wrote here about two men from our church who went to Haiti last year, to help with buying medicine for children in the hospital, food for families and trying to figure out the best way to get clean drinking water to thousands of people who need it desperately.  One of those gentlemen has a Charity that raises money for Haitians.  Here's the link-http://www.just1dollar4haiti.org/

This is a legitimate Charity-started by one of the men at TLC Church in Woodstock. He and several others visit Haiti at least once a year and were already working on ways to get clean drinking water to more people. Just that alone can decrease the number of deaths among the Haitian citizens-but now it is more important than ever. We know that money given through this organization goes DIRECTLY to those in need in Haiti. Please read more of what he says~

This website is an easy way for people to get involved in the Haiti relief effort and 100% of the money goes where they want it to, directly to where it will make the most difference. Our board is completely voluntary and there is no staff that receives any compensation. All donations go straight to the projects they are allotted to. They can also receive earthquake updates on this site directly from real Haitians in Haiti.

I implore you-search your car, your old coat pockets, your old purses, and old wallets, anywhere-get those dollars and send them now to those who need them so desperately!!!  You won't be sorry you did!

Much love in our AMAZING Lord~
Rhonda

Terrific Tuesday!

Today- Tuesday-October 12, 2010- (1 Corinthians 13:1-3) we will hold another medical clinic, where we will see and treat over 200 patients with the help of some doctors and nurses from Haiti. Patients will also receive food, and hear the Gospel. Many are saved through this ministry, which is totally a God thing-because Voodoo is very big in Haiti.  But through our team voodoo priests have been saved!! Isn't that amazing?  I think it is-so I hope I get to witness God working to make that happen! Please pray specifically for- ·      That every action, word, and thought will be done in love~ ·     For God to multiply their resources so that all needs will be met, both spiritual and physical        Miraculous healings and salvations     Talk to you Wednesday!!     Be Blessed~      Rhonda

Sister Act

Image
My sister was here this past week. Finally, from Colorado. I saw her Thanksgiving 2017, and then I hadn't seen her since February of this year. She came to visit just before I was hospitalized and a couple of the days I felt so bad I was forced to stay home and in the bed. And while I am sad I didn't get to adventure with her those days, almost better is the fact that she and my daughter spent those days together. They filled their water flasks at random gas stations (because as my sister says, "water is free!"), went to the beach, hunted sharks teeth, hunted shells, climbed a lighthouse, ate Mexican food, laughed and probably cried too, and just spent time loving on each other. My adult daughter has an amazing bond with my sister. A relationship I've prayed for.  Because my sister loves her like ,e.. But better. She's a caregiver at heart, and couldn't love my own daughter more if she had borne her herself.  And now, she loves my granddaughter, her great

Animal tales..........

I am back, did you miss me?  It's been a busy, weird, stressful but still good 4 months. I am sorry- I PROMISE never to be away that long again. My name is Rhonda, and I am an animalholic.  I know, I don't think that's a real word either-but it fits.  It's really mostly dogs, but I love all animals-some more than others (spiders are NOT considered an animal, right??). I could blame it on my mom, but I really think my father is to blame. After all, it is he who used to raise Beagles, for rabbit hunting. Sometimes we had 30 dogs (including puppies) at once. My sister Kellie and I quickly became addicted to puppy breath. They should really just go ahead and make a body spray out of that ever-lovin stuff! Anyway-my Dad would leave for work, and tell us "Now don't ya'll go and ruin those pups." What he really meant was this, "Don't go in the pen and love on 'em, and pet 'em, let them crawl over and lick you, and make them pets instead of wo
