A collection of daily thoughts, ideas and links from a mom still seeking to acheive the "balance" of a spiritual journey, family, inner peace, carreer, world peace...while "trying" to look like a supermodel at the same time...

It's time for us to act...


In light of the current crisis in our nation due to Hurricane Katrina I encourage you to act. It's easy to feel so disconnected from something when we are comfortable in our lives and enjoying the everyday luxuries we too often take for granted...

The Bible says as Christians we are Christ on the Earth. If Jesus were physically walking on the earth today, what would he be doing? I can tell you he'd be right there in the midst of the action, pitching in, giving hope and help to those in need. How do I know this? I just read what he did while he DID live on the earth and fast forwarded to today...He was a man of action. As his representatives we should be acting in his stead, bringing the same hope and help to our fellow countrymen.

Our church is a part of an organization called ARC (Association of Related Churches)
based in Baton Rouge, LA. They are on the frontlines of the relief effort as they are so close to all of the refugees of New Orleans and surrounding areas. They are hooking up with the Red Cross and FEMA.

As a church we will hook up with them to offer whatever support we can... Click HERE to find out what you can do!
