I know I have mentioned my brother on here before. . .tall, funny, one of my favorite people? Well, he lives on the other side of the world and the distance is used regularly by the Father to help me long for heaven.

Monday night I got a call from Andrew to find out how he can tell who is winning the vote for the 15K grant from Monsanto.  As I explained that you can sort the list of competitors by vote count I heard my niece yelling in the background, “Kids before Cats!” over and over.  It made me smile.

Meanwhile, my friend Carolyn is voting everyday from Uganda.

Today the Head of School at Promise Christian Academy sent out this quote and request. . .

“‘Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you’ll be able to see further.’
-Thomas Carlyle

Where are you voting from? Would love to know and plot them on a map for the students of Promise to see!
Please send me an email at mheintz@promisestl.org”

Would you go and vote again today, tell your friends all over the world, and then let us know where you are voting from? I’ll remember to post what my little girl says as she sees that God is at work on HER behalf all around the world!!

Yesterday was my sister’s birthday. My “baby” sister turned 35. Dude.
My family made her a card and I didn’t post it on time. Remember she is my “baby” sister so that means I am. . . old and forgetful.
Please forgive me, Anna, and enjoy (knowing I took time and thought 🙂 )Hard to read? Here you go. . .

I was hired this summer to make a memory book for my sister’s brother-in-law.  Her mother-in-law asked me to do it and organized everything so well.  It was a BLAST to put together and has got me to thinking that I should offer my services to others for this type of thing.  I L-O-V-E to scrapbook and others . . .don’t.  What a great service, eh? 

So let me know if you need your photos put into a book or if a friend needs the service.  I’ll try not to get too excited.
