Where Joy lives, God lives!

We recently moved from our "forever" homes to blend families and begin a new life together in a new town. This blog was set up to keep us connected with our families and friends "back home". Come celebrate with us! Ali, Scott and da' crew

Our Prayer List

If you want to help and support me, here are some things you can pray for:

This has been recently updated, since all our prayers from before were answered! Yay, God!

New prayers as of 4/09:

Please keep the Binghamton ESL teachers, students and their families in your prayers as they begin the process of moving forward. I lived with them for about two years, and they are very dear to me. What happened to them touched me very deeply--but I can not even begin to imagine what they are going through. I wish peace, strength and protection for them. I wish that they can hold strong to the faith that what they had been doing all those years really means something, that they are doing special and important work that one horrific event does not negate or change in any way. I pray that they receive support and generosity from national, state and local officials including the Binghamton City School District, and that they don't fade away into the shadows from newer, shinier programs that always seem to captivate school districts.


Tea with Susie and Dan

Every night at 7pm join us for a cup of tea as we celebrate Susie and Dan, our little sister and brother who had to stay behind in NY. We miss them soooo much!

How we do it:
Each person in our family has their own special mug. Each night I pick either Susie or Dan's mug, or their sisters help me by using up all the mugs. I spend my cup of tea thinking good thoughts about my little guys, praying for their health and safety, talking about all the happy things we thought about them that day.

Maybe there is someone you are missing in your life that you would like to remember. We would love you to "bring" them along to our tea party! "See" you at 7! :)
