PRAY:

O GOD, we thank you for this earth, our home; for the wide sky and the blessed sun, for the ocean and streams, for the towering hills and the whispering wind, for the trees and green grass.

We thank you for our senses by which we hear the songs of birds, and see the splendor of fields of golden wheat, and taste autumn's fruit, and rejoice in the feel of snow, and smell the breath of spring flowers.
GRANT US a heart opened wide to all this beauty; and save us from being so blind that we pass unseeing when even the common thornbush is aflame with your glory.

-Earth Day Prayer-

You're not out of luck yet!

skip the green beer

and
head to the kitchen...

Grab your Blender


I
 LOVE
my Blendtec

but
any heavy duty blender will do.

ADD

-- 1 1/2 Cups green grapes --

-- 1 1/2 Cups spinach --


--  1/4 Lime including the rind --

-- A handful of ice cubes --


                                   -- Blend on Whole Juice --

and 
VOILA!
you have the best St. Patty's drink around...

 Spinach and Grape Smoothie with Lime
hyyc

Famous for being the secret to Popeye’s legendary strength, spinach is truly a nutritional powerhouse—and perfect for green smoothies.  

A Harvard University study found that women who ate spinach more than five times a week had a 47 percent decrease in risk of cataract surgery compared with those who ate spinach less than once a month.
  
--- I rely on my blender ---
I take my blender with me when I am going out of town and traveling by car.

The point
.
Smoothies are a remarkable
addition to any diet as you can cram in loads
of vitamins through veggies & fruits as you
enjoy something delicious!

Try adding
 some GREEN
to your next 
smoothie!

India... on a mission

INDIA



Julia, our 26 year old daughter, 

 


lived in Kolkota, India
a few years ago and worked with the 
International Justice Mission, 
an agency whose work includes freeing modern day slaves from
 sex trafficking or from bonded labor. 
God blessed me with the opportunity 
of visiting Julia in Kolkata.
 We had an amazing time!!!
 Julia introduced me to a 
city and culture
 that has stolen her heart.  

Julia and I visiting a friend.

Women in pink.


Men keeping cool under the umbrellas!

Testing the limes.
Check out the meat hanging in the back!
We also got to do some traveling and 
met a colorful cast of characters along our journey...
LOVE the pattern in the GRASS
at the
Taj Mahal!

LOOK 
how
GIGANTIC 
the Taj Mahal is!

 ROCK STARS!
Entire families stared at us, wanting us to hold their babies
 and have pictures made with them.
They are not used to seeing many Americans even in Delhi!

A group of workers playing a game of cards
in the middle of a tea field
 near Darjeeling, .

Bananas hanging above a 
woman wearing a 
banana-colored 
dress.

So, all this to say that
Julia is heading back to Kolkata this week
and for the 2nd time
will be leading a group from

Once again, God has delivered.


Just when Julia was wondering

how as an unemployed law student
with little time to do fundraising was
going to come up with her hotel costs,
a wonderful young American woman
 (whom Julia met in India) 

unselfishly and with a very big heart
sent $500
 to the church in Julia's name.

  AMAZING!!!
