I have a very exciting opportunity to share with my readers today! "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 19:14 I would like to give you an opportunity to do just that, bring children to Jesus. Will you read on and find out what you can do to help?  I would like to introduce you to two special children: Guatemala is located in Central America just below Mexico. It is estimated that 657,233 children do not attend elementary school in Guatemala, corresponding to 26% of the total population between 7 and 14 years old. Like many of Guatemala's children, Alan (age 13) and Ruth (age 15) do not have the financial means to attend school on their own. Through fundraisers done by Team Guatemala and the generous support of Christians Ruth and Alan have been able to get a Christian education for several years. At each of their respective schools they learn about Jesus and His plan of salvation, as...

A couple weeks ago, the proverbial Groundhog saw his shadow, predicting 6 more weeks of winter. (Or is it that he didn't see his shadow?? Either way, he says 6 more weeks of winter - someone shoot the groundhog!) So far his prediction has been pretty true for the the state of Maine. We're still sitting with about a foot of snow on the ground, despite temps above freezing last weekend. But since spring is exactly 26 days away, we can at least start thinking and dreaming about it, right? And with this transition between the two seasons comes a shift in our wardrobe, too. I love bringing in some pops of colour to introduce a spring wardrobe, or adding some fun accessories when I'm no longer up to my ears in a parka. I may or may not wear several sweaters and coats every day during the winter, so its nice to be able to do something a little different! So whether you still need a bit of protection against the cold, or just want something new to get you out of a winter slump, I ...
