GreenLeaf Ministry: If Not me?
http://greenleafministry.blogspot.com/2009/11/if-not-me.html
Thursday, November 19, 2009. About 3,500 years ago, Moses asked a simple question – “Why me? 8221; Why indeed? Moses’ question was actually in response to God’s directive – go back to Egypt, confront the ruler of the most powerful nation on earth, and lead the Israelites out of slavery and into a life of uncertainty in a wilderness desert. Thus, Moses asked his famous “why me” question in Exodus 3:11. Putting myself in his shoes, I might have had a stronger response. 8221; Why indeed? Here in 2009, we ar...

Tuesday, August 23, 2011. First Day of School. Hard to believe that summer is over and it's time to get back into our school routine! Sweet, beautiful Grace is now in the 4th grade. And my handsome Nathan is in the 2nd grade! They both woke up super early on the first day of school. They were "fired up" and ready to go! I'm so thankful my kids love school! Nathan and his teacher, Mrs. Jebsen. She is so super sweet. Sam and Lily were so sad to send off their big buddies (aka Best Friends! Our first pictur...

GreenLeaf Ministry: May 2009
http://greenleafministry.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 29, 2009. Kids Will Work for Money. Or how to finance the summer activities! Allowances have long been something our children think is a “right.” It is good for kids to have a set sum of cash to manage regularly. It is the first step in learning to handle finances as an adult. They get to make choices, budget, and determine the difference between needs and wants. Mary Hunt, author of Debt Proof Your Kids. 6 Help kids figure out how to do a cost-benefit analysis of their purchases. For exa...

GreenLeaf Ministry: Complete Generosity
http://greenleafministry.blogspot.com/2009/11/complete-generosity.html
Tuesday, November 17, 2009. We have a lot of misperceptions about giving. For instance, we tend to think of giving as limited to money. We tend to measure effective giving by the amount. We tend to emphasize giving to organizations. We tend to look at giving as a spending decision. What would our lives look like if we gave up everything for Him? Would we spend more on our pleasure and comforts, or would be spend more earnestly meeting the needs of others? Here are a few suggestions for “giving up e...

LIZZY'S LANGUAGE: Redskin Leather Jacket for a Penny!
http://lizzylanguage.blogspot.com/2009/06/redskin-leather-jacket-for-penny.html
A site that speaks your language. Sunday, June 7, 2009. Redskin Leather Jacket for a Penny! Okay this is kind of a wierd deal - but I just helped my cousin do this 10 times so he could sell them for a big profit at Cowtown in New Jersey. We laughed the whole time. The jackets are ugly, but they are leather - I mean it's Wilson's leather! Is the link and the free shipping code is 7283. He literally spent 10 cents for 10 leather jackets. Whatever. I tried it and it said that it is no longer available!

GreenLeaf Ministry: Measuring the Mission
http://greenleafministry.blogspot.com/2009/11/measuring-mission.html
Saturday, November 21, 2009. As another year comes to a close, its healthy for us to look back over the past twelve months and ask, “Are we on mission? Have we been doing the things that God has called us to as a church family? The story of what God is doing in the world through Jesus Christ is a story worth sharing! Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that “[W]e are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”. There are many more numbers we could look ...

GreenLeaf Ministry: November 2008
http://greenleafministry.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 1, 2008. Give to Caesar (What We Vote) is Caesar's. The Pharisees questioned Jesus about paying taxes to Caesar. He answered, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." Luckily, in the United States of America, we get the power to vote on how much is actually Caesar's. We also have a responsibility to make sure our government is a good steward of what we are required to pay. If your taxes are cut, will you pick up the slack and help out other humans in need? 160; We s...
