Merry Christmas!!!

Hey guys...Merry Christmas!

I wanted to share with you guys that I went to a Catholic Youth Group and encouraged them with the project. It was cool...these kids were HS kids. Some took some brochures to take to school and share with friends and they came up with a having a party...so I am praying for more than 38 boxes from this group.
Now they had gotten shoeboxes from USC basketball team. So these were big shoeboxes- size 15 + shoeboxes. I just explained, but to pack them and have fun. I want them to understand later that it is not about what goes in the box but the message that goes with the box. Please let me know your experience with youth groups or other groups.
Thanks for your committment to this project.
Merry Christmas!

Go for it!!

I am sorry that I didn't make the packing party. I was trying to be the brave soldier and right til the time for me to go to the church I was going. It hit me so hard I didn't go to work for the next three days. I heard you did alot and I will do some more with the items I have.

Our lemonade girls are at it again...they are sooooo cute! They got into the Wal-mart in Camden...we need this mother on our team!

If you need posters please let me know....I have lots!
I will be speaking at Shandon Baptist on November 16th. I will be accepting 400-500 shoeboxes on behalf of our team. They are also giving 400 food boxes to the local families to another group.
So I hoping to even inspire more boxes than that day.
Thank you all for all the time you have put in...it will show up now.
