<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">So,
tomorrow is my birthday. 59th or as I like to say, I am living my 60th so I have been trying to keep up the appearance of having all my marbles,
and that is hard work but important work…at least hopefully my kids will be less
embarrassed of me in public. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">“It's
paradoxical that the idea of living a long life appeals to everyone, but the
idea of getting old doesn't appeal to anyone,” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>says, Andy Rooney longtime 60 Minutes
journalist. <br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then, this morning on one of the talk shows I
watched as one of their guests had Botox injected into her hands to take away
the “granny” look. Don’t think I haven’t thought about that myself as well. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also read that 60 is the new 40…wish I had
known that when I was in my forties because at that birthday I felt the reverse.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I have lived a wonderful life up to now.
And even if the future did start looking grim the past will be able to keep me going
for sure.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The plans for my big day, retail therapy
always seems to work. Absolutely avoid all mirrors until I feel
comfortable in this new/old skin. Or park the ole bifocals might work too.</span></span></div>

sitting on the sofa and in it runs through the living room...I scream for
Torrie Jo. Sophie, the Min. Schnauzer, is just barking away. To Jo traps the chip in the far
corner fire place wall and I am still screaming next thing I hear is To Jo’s
deep grueling/growl and a meager little chirp out the Chip... and out of
my slightly opened eyes, because I had them shut, here comes To Jo with a very
limp and dead Chip swinging loosely from her mouth. She then drops the dead
thing at my feet, which rendered me speechless. Larry runs bravely AWAY. He
said he was going to get something to pick it up, but I knew that he was really
freaked out too and frightened to death himself. Larry came back after
what seemed forever, with the big snow shovel, barbeque prong, and a rag, I ‘m
thinking, what a brave man I married (not). To Jo got a treat and I won't ever
leave the screen door open again (maybe).</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
We were getting ready
to leave for an extended time and I had not been grocery shopping,in order too empty out
the kitchen. So our food supply was very low…what
to make for supper? Looking in the
pantry I noticed I had a 10oz. can of chicken hmm. After Goggling for recipes meant for canned chicken,
nothing sounded like it tasted worthy of this lovely can… therefore the most delectable
recipe was born where Chicken-Pot Pie meets Pasta Primavera with a twist.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

2 cups of uncooked pasta what ever you have on hand...I used Orecchiette to
be cooked with less 2min. time because the baking will cook the rest.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;">During the past four years Larry has
<span style="background-color: black;"></span>traveled numerous times to Africa and it seemed like each time he went he could feel
this nudging of conscious saying, “This is really what I want to be doing
full time." Not only the nudging but every trip was a blessing to
all. These trips to Africa have been</span> <span style="color: black; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;">accompanied
with American pastors along to help and with the support of an organization
called, Food for the Hungry. Two of the his pastor friends on these trips to Africa,
have encouraged him to focus on serving Africa in a more personal way and it’s seems
as though God is reminding us once again,”go, for I have reopened the door for
you”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Our </span>thoughts seemed to
always go back to the mid-seventies, when scores of African-Portuguese refugees
came to the Motherland fleeing from the Marxist government’s take-over of
Portuguese colonies. God began touching our hearts then with the concern for Portuguese-speaking
African people whom escaped with nothing but their clothes on their backs.Larry would even plant the seed of concern to our young Portuguese who came to Christ
through our ministry to pray about this need to go. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;">Larry was reminded from one of those challenged to go, by the name of
George Silver, he and his young family now serve in Africa. George writes, I
PRAYED AND I OBEYED AND I AM IN AFRICA.” Then he added, "I kept my side
of the deal, where are you?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;">So now we have been re-challenged our goal is to begin August 1,
2012, to go full time with our ministry, Global Portuguese Outreach, which
began in 2008, which is a 501c3. So, we are raising support and asking you to
walk with us as we serve through evangelism and strengthening of the national
church pastors speaking Portuguese with emphasis on Africa and Indonesia. Your
support can be monthly or one-time. We find that many prefer to donate a one-time
yearly gift. This method takes the stress off monthly support with option to
renew on a yearly basis and as God blesses. We trust that
you will have time to pray and partnership with us. And build with us a
relationship and joint venture to reach and serve the Portuguese speaking
people.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;">It has been interesting to see how the focus on Missions has
evolved during in our life time. In the forties and fifties, when our parents went
to the field, missions were very much concentrated in the unreached areas.
Today 95% of all missionaries are in mega-urban capitols of the world. My passion
is the forgotten national pastors who faithfully work in backward areas of
their countries where many are reluctant to go. This is where Larry has been these
past four years in an extreme difficult area where they desperately need help
and encouragement. Recently, he was in Saca, Mozambique, So. Eastern Africa. The
jaunt itself took two hours of riding in a jeep, over a bike trail road. Yet, Pastor
Dennis peddles his bike back to the community each week and the church keeps
growing and is eager for more yet these communities and the leaders have been ignored
by the in government for years. It is to these communities and these pastors
who need our help for their ministry. So with all honesty and quite bluntly,
God has blessed us with being bi-lingual, and we are willing and able to go,
would you be willing and able to help us. </span></div>

Our daughter is getting ready to pack up to move to Florida for
Grad. School and as I looked around her room I can’t imagine where to begin to
pack her off. Knowing that she most
likely won’t ever live here anymore, how will we make her throw away things she
doesn’t need any more? Part of you says
leave everything exactly like you never went?
That can’t be healthy. I believe
that would be boarder- line “hoarderish” of us. </div>

The two seasons I love most living in the Adirondacks are fall and spring...to opposites I know...because one is just dying and the other beginning to live.
Or one seems awfully wrong and the other wonderfully right.
We need the one to have the other. Ying and yang of the environment I suppose. Maybe because I am a Libra and this is the balancing of nature at her finest.
As far as colorful the fall is so gloriously breath taking...yet it is ultimately leading up the "winter of my despair”, thank you, Green-gables person for that phrase.
Spring is no doubt synonymous with the word hope, up here in these-here-parts, because we hope for one to be over and the other to come fast.
All this came to me as I was spray painting my porch/deck furniture a lovely shade of spring green. The paint can said, Satin Eden, as the official color. I don't know if I was trying to convince myself of the color but when I read the name of the color on the can I knew it was a sign...Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02126770508347332966noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9063279308404062029.post-2496522266357494202012-01-22T19:36:00.001-05:002012-01-22T19:36:38.059-05:00<div style='padding-bottom: 2px; line-height: 0px'><a href='http://pinterest.com/pin/43347215133195070/' target='_blank'><img src='http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/43347215133195061_ayyDIzoe_c.jpg' border='0' width='554' height ='369'/></a></div><div style='float: left; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;'><p style='font-size: 10px; color: #76838b;'>Source: <a style='text-decoration: underline; font-size: 10px; color: #76838b;' href='http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CHIQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.marthastewart.com%2Fhow-to%2Ftissue-paper-pom-poms-how-to&ei=LkYUT6K6DcXj0QHS2qm1Aw&usg=AFQjCNHBEtVNnjjFtbqOITPxHfYJa6pKgg'>google.com</a> via <a style='text-decoration: underline; font-size: 10px; color: #76838b;' href='http://pinterest.com/aflordelis/' target='_blank'>Cindi-</a> on <a style='text-decoration: underline; color: #76838b;' href='http://pinterest.com' target='_blank'>Pinterest</a></p></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02126770508347332966noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9063279308404062029.post-24013198343949047742011-11-05T11:42:00.003-04:002011-11-06T08:51:36.054-05:00A Girl Has Got To Do, What A Girl Has Got To DoWhat is it in a woman that makes her have the need to move furniture around? Rearrange it, oh, maybe once a year. I must confess I am just one of those "kinds"of women. There probably is a physiological term or syndrome for this. If so I have it big time.<br />
I was just sitting there this morning after my quite- time and sipping my third cuppa-o-jo and it came to me....yes, the urge to change the arrangement of my living room. Maybe it was the caffeine talking but I just; couldn’t deny the impulse to get up and start the procedure.<br />
Mind you there are a series of steps that are involved in tackling the job by oneself. There is propping up (which takes considerable amount of strength) to move the huge Oriental rug, then the need to balance out the lighting system. I like to make sure that the view out the windows is at its most effective position. When its summer I want to make sure I can enjoy my window boxes inside as well. Then I must think about my husband and his chair and make sure he will be happy; After all he resides here too. I like to have a nice flow in and through and around too.<br />
Half way into the foolishness; I find myself talking out loud; "Self, what the heck were you thinking. You not only will need to clean and wipe down all the new spaces but you probably will need a chiropractor besides”. Then after a couple of miss-tries and working up a sweat I sit back and take it all in and hope I like it and if I don't then I say to myself, “give it a couple of days" Then I walk away from it with my fingers crossed, convincing myself this is the best way ever.; But if Larry doesn't like I will put it all back...with his help of-course...Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02126770508347332966noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9063279308404062029.post-37564512703944980412011-10-27T11:41:00.007-04:002011-10-27T13:25:50.390-04:00Three Gringos and a DogI was too exhausted to be excited when the voice over the intercom informed us that we would soon be landing in Lisbon. My head was still stuck in packing mode and fare wells and the mixture of all sorts of, "what if's", to even care. The fact that there was “no turning back” was now a reality as I stepped into the unknown trying not to act lost.<br />
My first concern was to see if and how our beloved cocker spaniel had survived the trip, when much to my surprise, I heard her above all the noises of the hustle and bustle of the airport terminal and long line at the custom booths. I could hear her barking with the anxiety level that signaled stress! We followed her frantic sounds toward the direction of the luggage conveyer belt where she (in a now up side kennel) circled around almost teetering off. Needless to say she was drawing a crowd. Later I came to understand why; besides the noise factor echoing throughout terminal from our pooch; pure bred dogs were a novelty and domestic animals were not exactly the norm in the Portuguese culture, unless they were a working canine. Hunting, herding, and guarding were common but it was a rarity to see dogs come through as luggage. Divine providence though,<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--Z0Ep-IJXEQ/Tql7CybzwMI/AAAAAAAAHvQ/NLobyfmg-ew/s1600/lisbon1976.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="256" width="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--Z0Ep-IJXEQ/Tql7CybzwMI/AAAAAAAAHvQ/NLobyfmg-ew/s320/lisbon1976.jpg" /></a></div><br />
after of all the ruckus caused by our pooch, it helped in expediting the cranky canine's release as well as our own. So they waved our entire luggage through manual inspection enabling us to make our way towards the exit doors and fresh air without any delay.<br />
So there we stood, like the proverbial foreigners that we were, trying to see if anyone looked like a missionary and designated driver. We had not met him so we were clueless as to what he looked like and hoped he would figure out who we were. <br />
And he did, and with no problem at all, <b>why</b> you might ask, as much as I pride myself in couture we definitely stood out amongst the European people, three gringos dressed in pastel colors and a dog. And, note to self,the weather in the month of April is anything but warm. We were freezing! <br />
…thus began the first day of the next twenty-four years of our lives in the country of Portugal...Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02126770508347332966noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9063279308404062029.post-90840971559373243422011-08-25T16:19:00.000-04:002011-08-25T16:19:12.987-04:00Give in to Me-Leighton Meester and Garrett Hedlund(with LYRICS)<iframe width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/TYprBpz_hNI?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen=""></iframe>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02126770508347332966noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9063279308404062029.post-15897512662137481662011-08-24T19:41:00.000-04:002011-08-24T19:41:02.892-04:00Rustic Peach Cake,<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Combine:<br />
1 cup a.p. flour<br />
1 t baking powder<br />
1/4 t salt<br />
<br />
Mix until light:<br />
1/4 c sugar<br />
1/4 c brown sugar<br />
8 T unsalted butter, softened<br />
<br />
Add:<br />
2 large eggs<br />
2 T sour cream (or whole milk)<br />
1 t vanilla extract<br />
<br />
Then add flour mixture to egg mixture and mix on low until just combined. Pour into greased and floured cake pan.<br />
<br />
For peaches:<br />
peel, pit and slice 2 medium peaches and toss with 1/4 c sugar and 1/2 t cinnamon then arrange in a circular pattern around the edge and in the middle of cake.<br />
(*Tip: scattering some chopped, dried apricots or peaches over the batter before arranging the fresh peaches on top will soak up the excess peach juice and eliminate a soggy cake top, but this is kind of fancy and is optional.)<br />
<br />
Bake @ 350 for about 35-40 min. I used a 9-in cake pan, but you could use a spring-form or any kind of cake pan for this.

</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Once upon a time, there was this Princess dog named Sofie Marie. Like most princesses she had everything her Royal Highnie would ever desire. A mistress that loved her very much. Both sets of Grand- mistresses that did too. All her canine cousins of her kingdom regarded her as the fairest in the land. Her dear, little sister, Princess Victoria Josephine, loved her most of all..</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bk7oNo--d5g/SvHU4_9QVrI/AAAAAAAADL4/qN_2dB3w7xA/s1600-h/LOON+032.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bk7oNo--d5g/SvHU4_9QVrI/AAAAAAAADL4/qN_2dB3w7xA/s200/LOON+032.jpg" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bk7oNo--d5g/Su-jqXLCf2I/AAAAAAAADFU/3Jzrs9Ok4Mw/s1600-h/DSC00553.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bk7oNo--d5g/Su-jqXLCf2I/AAAAAAAADFU/3Jzrs9Ok4Mw/s200/DSC00553.JPG" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: small;">She was always groomed with the latest of "foo-foo" style. Had many of the o' couture, canine fashions. The most wonderful yard and forest to explore and rocks to climb. Oh, and squeaky toys and tiny tennis balls . Her bed was of the finest fleece and animal- printed coordinating duvet where she would slumber all day and early in the cold winter nights. In the summer she enjoyed long boat rides on a beautiful mountain lake...she loved pointing her noise to the wind and barking out greetings to Mr. and Mrs. Loon or at the other dogs that came from the city to spend the summer in her kingdom. One would think that she didn't need anything at all. For hunger and thirst were never present in her life she had more then enough of all the comfort and love from one and all. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Ah, but there was one thing that she most wanted and it was forbidden territory and highly frowned upon for such a fair princess to even THINK about such a place. This place was called, "Le'Gar-Bage". Oh, but the temptation at times was so great yes, even this princess who lacked nothing, would find herself drawn to it's tempting aromas. She didn't care if she would dirty herself with the grease and grim and stinky things. She didn't care if she would drive her Mistress to despair, no, all she cared about was to be able to dig and hunt and tear and spread anything and everything all over the floor. To her it was so much fun and and so delicious she did not stop to think of what would or could happen. This was so unbecoming for Princess and a very hard lesson her majesty to learn and obey.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">One chilly, autumn, night the Mistress and her husband decided to get in the white chariot with wheels and journey to </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">her most favorite grand people of all. Victoria Josephine came too but Sofie Marie knew she was the favorite and decided to spend most of her time one of their laps.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sofie Marie and Victoria Josephine, raced into the house. They did their usual greetings throughout the house setting up a ruckus as usual too. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Princess Sofie claimed her favorite spot which was on Grand-masters lap. The mistress and her little sister spent their time with Grand-mistress. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Unbeknown-st to everyone else Sofie decided to sneak into the kitchen to where the beloved Le'Gar-bage was kept.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Her highly bred princess nose began to search for something delectable to eat. And she found it!</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">She ate and ate tore and tore until her royal belly was as round as could be. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now the Mistress took one look at her and knew that that royal belly was a bit too round and the foo foo beard a bit too greasy and followed the trail to the mess. After a scolding and a quick washing of her mouth they went home and settled down for the night.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Well everyone but the the Princess Sofie Marie, for her stomach began to rumble and rumble and gurgle and gurgle...and she felt sick all over. Day after day for four days later her royal highnie was not well.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">It was then decided that she must go to the hospital and the Doctor Vet. hooked her up to an I.V. because after he took her X-ray they saw that that royal round belly was stopped up with a CORN COB....this was corking up the Princess royal intestines. Doctor Vet. scolded the princess too and and after two days and nights and the threat of surgery...Sofie Marie the Princess dog was finally feeling her self again.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now every one in the kingdom hopes that Sofie Marie will have learned her lesson that Le' Gar-bage' is not the place to find food...</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">and she and her little sister lived happily ever after. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

He was probably stunned for a while but managed to shake it off and fly away. <br />
<br />
We didn't see where he went but a few days later we notice this comical, feather-ruffled up the side of his face and flying like he had one to many, guy again. He came in too close and missed the bird feeder and for a second the Min Pin captured him in his paws. We screamed and the canine let him go.<br />
<br />
Gimpy is using his wings well enough but <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3o3TWY9lgiY/ThfBzQDjB7I/AAAAAAAAHsI/yzVLMJ_aYi4/s1600/IMG_0186.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3o3TWY9lgiY/ThfBzQDjB7I/AAAAAAAAHsI/yzVLMJ_aYi4/s200/IMG_0186.JPG" width="154" /></a></div><br />
his landing skills are just a shade off. He can land on the tree limbs okay but on the wrong side of them and hangs upside down dangling there for a few moments until he gets his bearings. We watch with our breaths held and sort of encouraging him on… you can do it, Gimpy!!!!<br />
He is fearless despite the fact that he is handicapped, he doesn't give up even when the regular/normal purple finches push him around. We get quite a few finches in our yard, golden ones, and house finches and this beautiful, purple variety. As soon as they all come to eat we finally see him bringing up the end of the flock dear ole one-eyed Gimpy flying as straight as S's and M’s. He fly's up and down and back and forth and hangs there till he knows he is at the right feeder and eats as good as the others. It is awfully amusing and we look forward each day for his arrival because then we know he hasn't falling in the hands of a larger predator...like the neighbors big black cat.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-65ZJ3CMSwz4/ThfG5-uOu7I/AAAAAAAAHsM/hMHE86aZnm8/s1600/purple+finch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="148" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-65ZJ3CMSwz4/ThfG5-uOu7I/AAAAAAAAHsM/hMHE86aZnm8/s200/purple+finch.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>So, Gimpy, we are sorry about your accident and do take some of the blame for having such a clean window…but you put a smile on our face and keep us entertained for a while and now days that can be a rare thing.

Well I yelled just like the kid in the movie, ”Home Alone”. And my brave daughter tries to save me by grabbing Charlotte in a receipt she held (to prevent herself from touching the itsy bitsy spider) unsuccessfully, I might add. I started blowing and blowing and all that did was cause her to swing back and forth and even closer to my face.<br />
So I am screaming “should I pull over, should I pull over… My daughter is saying Mom calm down…<br />
Well, the spider disappears somewhere between my legs and all I could do is swishing my legs back and forth and when I could stomp I would.<br />
End of story we made it to the Dentist in plenty of time and I don’t know what happened to Charlotte.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Have you ever experienced a situation in which one person’s words or a group of people’s words brought God’s work to a sudden stop?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> All too often the church becomes a breeding ground for grumbling and gossiping. Church members have very specific ideas about how a church should be run: contemporary music vs. traditional music, choir robes vs. street clothes, seeker-sensitive vs. discipleship of believers. Before you know it, the journey to the Promised Land comes to a halt.<br />
What are some ways that you can bring peace to a potentially volatile situation?<br />
How can you use your words today to encourage the leadership of your church?<br />
Consider writing a note or an e-mail of encouragement to someone in ministry who has blessed you.</span><br />
