Help the Poor

I was wondering what you all were doing today? Are other countries talking about the events coming up in Edinburgh today and in the coming weeks all over the world or is it just a big deal here in the U.K.?

There are lots of options all over Orkney today. One friend has opened her house to prayer for the Poor of the world today. Other friends will be projecting the Edinburgh concerts tonight. There will be a concert in Kirkwall with 10 bands and at 2 there will be a peaceful protest march.

I talked to the kids about the poor of the world and what was being discussed. We came up with our "motto" for our banner, we decided on "Help the Poor" instead of "Feed the Poor" because we want to more than feed them. Samuel provided the broomsticks to hold up the banner. First he came in with pitchforks. "Samuel, it isn't that kind of march!" We cant do all the events but it should be good what we do.

Having just returned from the UK a couple of weeks ago, I did notice the difference in the news. G8 and Live8 were the big news there and it wasn't unusual to see "Make Poverty History" banners in towns. Here it has been very quiet. I think many people are active in a private way, but not as a society. Even news of the massive Live8 concerts was buried many pages into the newspaper without any photos. It appears to me that the UK are much more actively involved in helping the poor, and God will bless them for that. :)

I came across your blog clicking from one place to another. I am so glad I did! I have been participating w/ one.org in Indianapolis, IN USA. When I read what you & your children did by painting it inspired me to do the same. We had been talking about the day, were watching the Live8 concert & read a bit from the Bible. Adding the painting was the perfect way top it all off! Thanks for the inspiration,

One of my favorite of Khloe’s Hermes bags happens to be her fiery red Hermes Birkin. It just suits her so well, and I happen to think it would suit me too! Well, that would be the case if I could actually afford Hermes designer handbags, because come on, these designer bags aren't for the everyday gal. I am absolutely obsessed with Khloe’s Hermes Birkin bag, how about you? To think that this designer Hermes bag is only one in a sea of others that the Kardashians own. Sigh. To be rich would make all of my problems go away. Kidding, I know money doesn't buy happiness!
