Day 10 of the Polar Blog Express!

Wednesday, July 23, 2008

Oh my goodness – the presentation to the pastors went well yesterday! We were so blessed, too, by the support of the organization that we are partnering with to have an event for the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church: Open Doors. We met the president of the organization, Dr. Carl Moeller, and a man (who I am not sure if I can name for his security in China) who distributed Bibles to the underground church in China.  Both were engaging and inspiring speakers. One challenge that they suggested is to donate a Bible ($5 each) for every Bible you own. The Bibles cost $5 each to print and distribute to a persecuted Christian. Living in America, it can be easy to forget those around the world who do not have the incredible freedom of religion we presently have.

I’m hoping to share more tomorrow after I find out whether or not I can share the Chinese man’s story.

Day 8 of the Polar Blog Express!

Monday, July 21, 2008

Is it day 8 already? I guess so!

But first, yesterday went very well. DD1 sang her solo very well and DD2, who was standing by her on stage, gave her a hug and kiss when she finished, like “Hey, big sister, I’m proud of you!” and DD1 hugged her back.

Here is DD1 singing her solo…

You can click on over to Sweet Shoppe Designs to shop her products. I think she is a great addition to the store!

There is a chance that I will get to meet her during a layover in an airport this summer (afraid that the layover will be too short, though!), but she is in my top 5 of people I know from the internet that I would like to meet IRL. Totally a sweetheart, and a very interesting and fun person!

And in other news, DD2 had another ballet lesson this week.

IMG_1476

She has had a total of 3 lessons, all with different teachers. The first class was fine. The second class was horrible. She was tired and made tired, sad faces & postures in the mirror. The teacher that week was sort of a no-nonsense type of teacher and talked to me afterward about “is she like this all the time”? and “maybe she isn’t ready for lessons”. This is her first dance class ever, and I felt like that was a bit harsh. It is a beginning class, after all.

This week’s class, the third class went very well! The teacher she had this week will be the teacher for the rest of the summer, and she seems very sweet and willing to deal with the differing ages and talent levels of the class. DD2 was willing to work hard this week. I think she likes to wear her leotard and dress like a ballerina and look in the mirror – she is having fun and I’m happy about that.

Have a great Saturday! I hope you enjoy my freebie. Come back tomorrow!

I’ve got to run – DH is having several people over to watch all 6 Star War movies. It may not be my idea of a great day to watch all the movies, but they have a lot of fun, and we got the house clean yesterday, so I’m OK with that. I plan to spend the day working on some designing.

Have a great day!

In other news, I have one more layout to show you from the weekend:

Just a pic of me and the girls at the fair.
I used Kathryn & Velma Balint's Ragamuffin kit from KB and Friends. I also used Darcy Baldwin's DJB Liz font and a CD circle layout template for the circular part of the layout. The circle journal card is by Jen Wilson.
Thanks for looking at my layout!

Also, for those of you that Twitter and Plurk, I found an easier way to update Twitter & Plurk at the same time. I signed up for ping.fm using a beta invite code – you can use “thispingsforyou” (no quotes). It updates my twitter, plurk, and because of my Twitter settings, I think, it also updates my facebook status. Yes, these can be such timewasters, but it is kind of nice to stay updated on all these social networks at once.  If you want to add me on Twitter (or the other services), my name is Julianagordon.

Have a great Thursday. Come back tomorrow!
