You could put it on the blackboard! Yes, Chicago is an epicenter for educational innovation.
While there are more digital resources today that can complement and enhance lesson plans than ever before, teachers need guidance about how to use them within the unique context of their own classrooms.
If we want to transform the K-12 education system to meet the needs and challenges of 21st-century citizenship and leadership, we need to ensure global learning is available for all.
In February, I continued my conversations on global education with Lord Mayor of London Boris Johnson, Australia's Geoff Masters (CEO of Australian Council for Educational Research) and Susan Mann (CEO of Education Services Australia). I learned further about how technology is entering the classroom and how this is helping to broaden cross-cultural perspectives in education.
Once again it's back to the drawing board for effectively incorporating educational technology into the classrooms for those who need it most within LAUSD. Let us hope for the sake of the students, that this next LAUSD "task force" is made up of actual parties who exist outside its ivory tower as well.
We liked their innovative ideas so much, we decided to invite these talented 12 back each month to answer one big picture question related to 21st century education.
Alongside the thousands of free apps going into schools, there has also developed an entirely different approach to technology, one that integrates technology with teacher lessons and provides teachers with extensive professional development and coaching.
It may not take a village to raise a child anymore, but parents and teachers certainly continue to play a vital role in the growth of the child.
As educators well know, the first few years of a K-12 education are no longer a "warming up" period for our youngest students. Like it or hate it, stu...
The K-12 classroom is continually evolving in order to adapt to the times. It's important that teachers keep up-to-date with the latest helpful technology for their students and that parents understand the ramifications of that technology, too.
Creating policies and practices that give educators and families useful information about students to improve their learning is a monumental task. This work takes dedicated resources, dedicated time, and dedicated professionals -- lots of them.
Even as technology's past should make us wary of unsupported claims and premature enthusiasm, the future can be different. In all areas of technology other than education, a time of tinkering yields to a time of solid accomplishment. This can happen in education, too.
The more we ask of children, the more they can do; the higher the standards we set for those who teach children, the farther they will reach.
The press meet unfolded as organic guided tours. There were no formal presentations or copious note-taking; no specific starting time.
Haynes and a growing number of other schools around the country are trying to flip the script by making learning the constant, and time the variable.
Investment in technology is on the increase. Some continue to claim it hurts the classroom. Others are more convinced it is transforming the classroom in a positive way. However, most now believe the goal must be about transforming the learning process.

There's a lot going on between bikini top and bottom that my penis is having a difficult time with.
Ditto. The torso appears to be aging twice as fast as the rest of her.
Well it had help from medical science. ( See Tara Reid's midriff for details. )
Her thumb is nice.
She looks like a 2 x 8 with a bikini hanging off it
Looks like they photoshopped Kelly Bensimon's head on Ke$ha's body…Or is that Ke$ha's head on Kelly Bensimon's body?
…at least the toes match the torso.
I really miss this guy.
Never say never to burqas belonging on Western beaches.
Nobody's going to say anything about the three sharks in the background?
She's a MAN, baby!
"Ma'am, you're tummy says it is time to put the bikini away."

Does leaving a currency union reduce international trade? This paper uses a historical approach to re-examine the puzzling large apparent impact of currency unions on trade. I find that the early time series estimates were driven by the gradual decaying of colonial trade ties and other major geopolitical factors, including warfare, communist takeovers and ethnic cleansing episodes. My methodology, which carries lessons for other uses of gravity equations in policy analysis, yields point estimates of currency unions on trade that are not statistically distinct from zero.

Here is a great site to check several different sources all from one page:http://www.sourceonestockinfo.com/fisv.htm
Value Line just dropped FISV from 2 to 3, and Value Line has been strong on FISV for well over a year. Curious now what they will report when FISV rolls around for review. And wondering when this will bottom.
I've been watching and buying/selling FISV for a lot of years and I have always been convinced someone somewhere has been manipulating this stock. My wife and I bothworked for Fiserv for many years and we madea ton of money in our 401k accounts by keeping the money in FISV stock. We would watch it nosedive then recover to new highson several occasions. All we need now is for just one of those asshole analysts to upgrade and watch it soar!

CureCo's LaGrone Branches Out With Mexican Pop-Up (Recipe)
Tiki is the talk of the town, libations wise. However, one cocktail creator is looking for liquor in a different region south of the border. On Sunday (11.24) night, Braden LaGrone (Cure, Cane & Table) rolled out his new Mexican cocktail pop-up, Diamanté K, at Oxalis (3162 Dauphine Street.)
Cure Team Earns 3 TOTC Spirited Awards Nominations
The New Orleans Wine and Food Experience ends after Saturday's Grand Tasting, but local libation lovers can still take a glass-half-full approach to the beginning of summer since Tales of the Cocktail is right around the corner. In addition to tastings and swag, Tales honors the worldwide mixology industry's finest with their annual Spirited Awards. This year, a number of locals are among the nominees.

Cane & Table's Detrich Explains Virginia Eggnog
Christmas' constellation of quaffables is crowded with the likes of mulled wines, hot brandies, and traditional scotches, but eggnog is the undisputed king. Yet, even the bottled bliss from Brown's wears old after a few weeks. So, NoDef learned how to make 'nog from scratch from Cane & Table's prodigal publican Nick Detrich.
Team Eggnog Takes Tales of the Toddy
Seasonal spirits were flowing this weekend at the 8th annual Tales of the Toddy. The offshoot of the famous summer cocktail convention brought in the city's finest mixologists to create, and to judge the event. NoDef caught up with Rhiannon Enlil and Neal Bodenheimer to discuss the best team, and individual cocktails.
Freret Update: Construction Continues Post-Repaving
The Freret Street corridor has come a long way from being fenced in by construction, but business owners will have to weather a few more months of orange cones and reflective vests. Paths to Progress has completed the repaving portion of their program, by the expected completion date of December 9. However, the Department of Public Works requested some additional work to be done, slated for completion by March of 2014.
Freret Fenced In
Freret Street Owners Speak Out Against Simultaneous Road Projects
Surrounded by construction, small business owners in the Freret Street corridor are growing increasingly frustrated as they see sales dwindling, and a lack of consideration from the City. The bars, restaurants and other spots that were held up as a model of renewal are suffering from the limited access. Many of the merchants believe poor planning and inadequate provisions are to blame.

As much as you may want a quick divorce, there is a process you [read more]
Say 'I do' to a better separation, divorce or reconciliation.
When both parties agree to work together, the costs. including time, money, and emotional costs, are considerably less than those of a typical contested divorce. When you want to separate together, receive our newsletter, Mediation Matters, with helpful tips and tricks .
How to Win Your Divorce
To you Rick I give my heartfelt thanks. You were the only bright light in an otherwise very dark, traumatic process. When my wife decided to bring in her lawyer I knew it was a mistake for us. It slowed the process way down and cost us both a lot of money.
In retrospect, mediation with you was the only way for us to go. Your kindness, fairness, gentle but firm manner and professional expertise set a tempo and demeanor which should carry us forward as we work together for our children. Thank you for your expertise and for the honor of knowing and working with you.
I recommend Win Your Divorce for divorce mediation!
I was referred to Rick Banks as an alternative to reduce unnecessary cost with a traditional divorce. Working with Rick took the emotion out of the process and allowed us to focus on what was important. He kept us on track which set the tone for working together to raise our daughter in a more team like fashion.
I needed divorce help and Rick Banks was there!
We were looking for a divorce that was economical and fast as possible. Rick Banks gave my ex-husband and I exactly what we wanted. He conducted himself professionally at all times. He didn't waste any time. He made the process easy and skillfully guided us through any disagreements. He even worked around our busy schedule so we didn't have to miss work.
I had never been to court and he was very thorough with his instructions. The paperwork was in perfect order. Everything went smoothly. You will not be disappointed with Rick as your mediator.
I strongly recommend Win Your Divorce mediation services!

R. Arivanantham
This ritual is being followed for over 200 years
KAVERIPATTINAM (KRISHNAGIRI): Truly, India is a land of unity in diversity. A ritual followed by Muslims for more than 200 years in Kaveripattinam on the banks of South Pennar River in Krishnagiri is an eloquent testimony to this.
An elder in a Hindu family here has been honoured - Mudhal Mariadhai - during the Muharram procession for more than three generations.
With utmost respect, Muslims take V. Raman Venkatraman Chettiar (75), the present head of the family, from his residence to the accompaniment of mangala vadyam to their holy place Mel Makan (big brother) where he will flag off the veedhi ula (procession) of the holy Hand.
A portrait of Mr. Raman's grandfather Venkatraman Chettiar is still kept at the holy place.
Mr. Raman, retired from the Public Works Department, told The Hindu that his grandmother Kulavandhi Poongavanam Chettiar had offered her mangal sutra for joining the broken part of the Hand at Mel Makan during a procession before the meeting point of Keel Makan (younger brother) at an inter-junction of four streets. According to him, she in her dream was asked to do so by a Hindu god.
Abdul Majid, the eldest administrator of Mel Makan, says that prasadam is taken in a mud pot donated by a Hindu potter, Murugesan and the umbrella for the holy Hand is carried by a Hindu. Other administrators of Mel Makan, K.M. Goddu Saheb, A. Kader Basha and C. John Basha said that they would eat only vegetarian food for 10 days prior to Muharram.

Blue Bomber Report Record: 7–11–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Sherman gets head start
Big rookie receiver looks cool, collected after attending mini-camp
As some American rookies fumble around in the darkness that is the CFL game, Damian Sherman is starting to come into light.
Listed at 6-foot-4, 225 pounds -- measurements that don't really do the wide receiver physical justice (he looks taller) -- Sherman is in his second go-around with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. His first ride came back in April, when the team invited him to its spring mini-camp. There he immediately impressed the coaching staff with his speed, size and smarts.
During stop No. 2, which is currently underway as the Bomber rookies run around and get the blood pumping before main camp opens on the weekend, Sherman is showing the coaching staff a little more than the basics.
He looks calm and cool out there, staying within his limits and not trying to make the team in one drill.
He looks confident in an atmosphere surrounded with uncertainty.
Head coach Paul LaPolice isn't one to hand out gold stars to a rookie after two days of workouts. That said, the coach was pleased with how the 24-year-old out of Southern Illinois has advanced in the playbook coming out of the mini-camp -- putting into practice on the field what he's picked up just by being around the team.
"Sherman was able to spend three days with us and absorb some information," LaPolice said. "He's a little bit further ahead than some of the guys who didn't have an opportunity in mini-camp. He's a good football player. I'm impressed with his intelligence."
Sherman, who looks fully recovered from a left knee injury in 2009, agrees with the suggestion that the mini-camp experience has advanced his position in the eyes of the Bombers.
"I know the offence to this point, now it's just about getting on page with the quarterbacks," the Fort Pierce, Fla., product said. "You saw me run (about) 12 routes today, and didn't complete many. That's part of the process. (We're) going to get that down."
The case study involving Sherman and the time he's already put in with the Winnipeg coaching staff relates to another rookie receiver the Bombers are very high on. Unfortunately, the major difference between Sherman and Kito Poblah, the highly touted non-import receiver out of Central Michigan who was taken first overall in the supplemental draft this week, is that one is on the field, keeping himself ahead of the curve, and the other has been sitting at home the last two days.
It looks like Poblah will have a chance to catch up on his studying, though.
Late Thursday afternoon, his agent and the Bombers were busy finalizing a contract, and the club was confident Poblah would be getting fitted for a gold helmet this weekend.
"We're real close," Bombers GM Joe Mack told the Hustler & Lawless radio show. "I won't say it's done, but we're dotting the 'I's and crossing the 'T's. I'd be surprised if he wasn't here by Saturday."
The Bombers wrap up their three-day rookie camp today, before taking a breather for veteran physicals Saturday. Full training camp gets underway Sunday at Canad Inns Stadium, starting at 8:15 a.m.
Loose ends
The Bombers won't have to make any cuts until after the weekend (Tuesday, in fact), when they'll most likely have to trim three bodies to get down to 68 players. Players labelled 'non-counters' -- all 2011 draft picks, kicker Rene Paredes, and LB John Surla -- are not included in that league-mandated roster limit. ... WR Greg Betterson tweaked a knee Thursday and was limited in practice. ... KR Tim Brown is still nursing a broken bone in his foot suffered in April's mini-camp. A decision on his status is pending.

Ted Scouten
Emmy award winning journalist Ted Scouten has been the familiar face at the scene of international stories that affect South Florida since 1998. From being the first South Florida reporter in Manhattan after the 9/11 attacks, to the Attorney General's hearings regarding the custody of Elian Gonzalez in Washington D.C., to standing out in the rain all over the Caribbean and Central American chasing hurricanes and reporting on the aftermath, Ted has always been there to bring a local perspective and face to the story.
Scouten has reported from CBS 4's Broward County Newsroom since 1999, and the contacts that he's made proved valuable when he broke the story and was the first on the scene for the death of Anna Nicole Smith. Ted came to WFOR from WFTV in Orlando, Florida where he was a reporter and anchor. He began his career at KGNS-TV in Laredo, Texas. From there, he moved through Texas markets in Brownsville and Austin where he was the morning anchor at KTBC-TV.
Throughout his career, Ted has reported on a number of major news stories. He was in San Antonio for Pope John Paul II's visit and was present for the shoot-out between law enforcement officers and cult members of the Branch Davidian sect in Waco, Texas. Scouten was also on the scene sorting out the daily chaos of the 2000 Presidential Election, as well as the chaos at Michael Jackson's arraignment in Santa Maria, California. He has also reported stories about political riots in Mexico, rampant drug smuggling along the Texas-Mexican border and the effects of heroin and cocaine trafficking between the Caribbean, South America and Florida.
After more than two decades of covering the news of the day, Ted is most proud of his Cold Case/ You Crack The Case reports. This series lets viewers see what happens after the crime, assists in solving crimes, helps in bringing closure to crime victims and their families, and advocates victims' rights.
In 2007 Ted was honored to be the emcee of an emotional tribute to Veterans held at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino to kick off the CBS 4 sponsored McDonald's Air and Sea Show. Ted's father is a Purple Heart recipient WWII veteran who lost both legs in Okinawa.
Over the years Ted had been lending support to many local organizations like H.E.L.P., Inc. (www.helpinclaw.com), The Jarvis Foundation, AIDS Walk Fort Lauderdale, and The American Cancer Society's Relay For Life. Ted won a 2002 Emmy award for a report on Animal Overpopulation in South Florida and he has worked to spread the word on the importance of pet adoption and companion animals for the elderly. Ted is also active in the wildlife community volunteering at the SPCA Wildlife Care Center fund raisers (www.WildlifeCareCenter.org).
Being the youngest of five adopted children, the oldest two of which are developmentally disabled, Ted is an advocate for adoption. Ted was raised in the Chicagoland area and is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Journalism and minors in Spanish and Psychology. Ted also attended the Universidad de Valencia in Valencia, Spain and is fluent in both Spanish and English. Ted and his partner helped to raise his teenaged nephew and niece, the oldest of which is now a proud United States Marine stationed in Japan.
On the weekends Ted can usually be found at a home improvement store getting ready to tackle a home improvement project because "the house will never be finished," watching a Dolphins or Marlins game or traveling. Traveling is probably the reason that the house will never be finished. Some of his favorite places to relax are Venezuela, Palm Springs, California and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. and of course South Florida, the place that has become home.
Ted welcomes your story and Cold Case ideas and comments. You may contact him at 305-639-4549

Newcastle United suffered their first defeat of pre-season on Saturday as they slipped to a 3-1 loss to Portuguese side Rio Ave.
Alan Pardew's men travelled to Portugal without star striker Papiss Cisse, who was left behind amid a disagreement with the club over his refusal to wear kit sponsored by loan company Wonga.
And Newcastle's lack of firepower proved telling as Rio Ave seized the initiative to seal a comfortable win.
Pardew plumped for a mix of youth and experience in his starting XI, with inexperienced goalkeeper Jak Alnwick and full-back Paul Dummett named alongside the likes of Yohan Cabaye, Steven Taylor and Jonas Gutierrez.
The St James' Park outfit started slowly, and quickly found themselves two goals behind, Egyptian striker Ahmed Hassan netting a double in the first nine minutes.
Newcastle's worries only increased, and after 26 minutes they were 3-0 behind as midfielder Braga scrambled home from close range.
The visitors did improve somewhat as the half wore on, and will have felt unlucky not to have cut the deficit as a Cabaye effort rattled the crossbar four minutes before the break shortly after Ederson had produced a fine diving save to deny Sylvain Marveaux.
Pardew made five changes during the interval, with Moussa Sissoko, Gabriel Obertan and Cheick Tiote all introduced into the action.
The alterations had an impact, Yoan Gouffran shooting wide after good work down the right from Obertan after 57 minutes.
It was Gouffran's eventual replacement that would haul Newcastle back into the game however, Shola Ameobi steering in Obertan's right-wing cross to reduce the arrears with 14 minutes to play.
The game ended sourly for the striker, though, as he was taken to hospital afterwards for x-rays on an arm injury, which forced him off.
Newcastle could not complete the comeback, though, and it was the hosts who wasted a chance to have the final say, substitute Sandro Lima seeing his penalty saved by Rob Elliot four minutes from the end after he had been bundled over by Mike Williamson.

Hope partner, Carol Jones and Destitute to Destiny aim to change the lives of the women who find themselves in this destructive and unrewarding cycle that domineers their lives.
This past Christmas we ran our first 12 Days of HOPE campaign. Working together with 12 partners in various countries, we launched the campaign to help raise funds for specific tangible projects that required support.
Destitute to Destiny's sewing micro-enterprise was one such project. The goal was to raise funds to purchase sewing machines so women trapped in the sweatshop cycle could instead work in the comfort and safety of their own homes.
We are so pleased to share with you that, together with Carol Jones at Destitute to Destiny, enough funds have been raised to cover the cost of setting up 5 sewing machine businesses which translates to 5 families well on their way to being self-sustainable.
Here are some pieces of the report that we received from India:

An update from HOPE Executive Director, Patrick Elaschuk, on location in Colima, Mexico.
Last Sunday, hundreds of runners took to the sunny streets of Colima to raise 146,000 pesos ($12,000 Canadian) for a very good reason. The annual event, hosted and sponsored by Ternium Mining, raises money for a chosen charity that is decided upon by the company.
One of our house parents who works for Ternium, a mining company, submitted Hogar de Amor y Protección al Niño (Home of Love and Protection for the Child) as a potential candidate to receive funding. The children, staff, and volunteers were ecstatic to find out that Hogar de Amor was selected. Being chosen as the beneficiary for such a high profile event was a huge honour.
Hope for the Nations (HFTN) partners with Hogar de Amor and church Grupo Amor to operate an amazing conglomerate of children's homes and mercy ministries – a major social service impacting this capital city and surrounding states with parental love, emotional and physical needs, and a commitment to see every child through to their highest level of education.
Originally focused on residential care for children of parents who were in prison, Hogar de Amor has been home for over 1000 children from birth to career training. It has hosted hundreds of teams volunteering both short and longer-term, impacting the lives of the children as well as themselves! With the recent establishment of a first-class private Christian school, the goal of financial self-sufficiency is closer to a reality.
Hope for the Nations, Mexico Directors, Joyce and John Brinkerhoff are presently in Colima encouraging the leaders, visiting the homes, and brainstorming strategies to impact more children.
Like our houseparent who shared about Hogar de Amor to his employer with great results, we too can share about the beautiful children of Mexico.

Together, we raised $3,000 to provide warmth in Nepal this Winter!
This past December we launched our first annual 12 Days of Hope Campaign. This campaign constituted an exciting new initiative for us here at Hope for the Nations, and a unique opportunity for our partners to have a voice and a way to highlight their own projects and needs in a very tangible way. It also presented an opportunity for our donors to engage in specific projects they could relate to and really throw their full support behind.
The 12 Days of Hope offered several projects varying in size from organic gardens, building water wells, and purchasing cows, all the way up to fundraising for a new home for the Hope Team in the Philippines!
Today, we wanted to follow up with one of the projects in Nepal. Nestled below Mt. Everest in the Solukhumbu region, you will find a girl's hostel operated by Hope partners, 'It's a Small World'.
In the Everest region, 7 out of 10 girls drop out of school after grade ten. In Nepal, parents prefer to send their sons to school and keep their daughters at home to take care of household chores. As a result, the literacy rate of women is only 23%.
At 'It's a Small World' the girls can live safely under the guardianship of the hostel and their education is provided through sponsorship which covers tuition fees, uniforms, and books.
This year, the hostel was in dire need of many basic necessities required for running and maintaining the hostel. Through the 12 Days of Hope campaign, together we were able to raise $3,000.00! This amount covered the cost to purchase forty new mattresses, forty new blankets, and twenty one new warm jackets for the girls.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this campaign and notably this project, it's amazing what we can accomplish when we work together.

HOPE Partners, Donna & Bill Reimer, left behind their life in Canada to work with children and families in the Dominican to provide nourishment and work towards creating self-sustainability.
The Dominican Republic has the second largest economy in the Caribbean region. Much of the economy was fueled by the manufacturing of sugar which in turn created a great number of jobs in local cane fields.
Unfortunately, the closure of the local sugar factory has led to high unemployment rates leaving many struggling to find work, and making it difficult to provide for their families. As a result, children are undernourished and denied proper medical care.
In 2010 Donna and Bill Reimer left their family and friends in Canada behind when they joined a small organization that quickly grew into what is now known as Dominican Feed the Kids. In 2012 they became official HOPE partners and their work in the region has flourished.
"Our priority program is the Hot Meal for Kids program," says Donna on Dominican Feed the Kids, "Three days a week we have a hot nutritious meal for approx 300+ children ages 1-12 years plus around 30 senior citizens."
In addition, there is also a baby program for underweight and malnourished babies called 'Angel Care'. The children range in age from newborn to 2 years old. They are provided with nourishment or medication depending on their specific needs and remain in the program until they're ready to graduate to the Hot Meal program.
Finally, the Family Food Program caters to families in desperate situations who are unable to supply even the food basics. These families receive a monetary food allowance each week to buy food.
The final goal for Donna and Bill is to create self-sustainability for the people that come into the Dominican Feed the Kids program. "This is a long and slow process, due to the fact that for generations these people have survived on handouts not hand-ups," states Donna. "We start with the basics. Instead of giving them food bags we now give them a food allowance in pesos, teaching them to once again understand how to use their income wisely and how to budget for their daily needs. Hopefully someday , when they can find employment again this will benefit them."
Not all families in the region have proper legal status so Donna and Bill also work to secure papers for family members allowing them to legally work in the country. They also teach life-skills including, job searching, on-the-job best practices, budgeting, and birth control.
"We have also opened a small second hand clothing store where moms can buy clothes for their children at a very low cost, hopefully instilling the understanding that the necessities of life are not free, you need to plan ahead."
Donna and Bill's work in the Dominican hasn't come without sacrifice: "We have received a lot of personal satisfaction in being instrumental in helping these people," says Donna. "We have learned a whole new appreciation for culture, both theirs and ours, it has meant personal sacrifice in areas of letting go of personal 'stuff' at home in Canada but mostly not being able to see and spend time with family and friends."
To change your life in order to make a better life for others often takes dedication, hard work, and self sacrifice. Donna and Bill are a great example of committing their lives to a cause for the benefit of others. They plan to remain in the Dominican to continue their work and help the people of the region get back to a place of stability, both emotionally and financially, and into a state of self-sustainability.

Life in post-earthquake Haiti is not easy. The natural disaster that occurred in 2010 crippled an already poor country and damaged the cultural and political infrastructure almost beyond repair.
Even now, 5 years later, there are still estimated to be over 700,000 orphans and deserted children spread throughout the country. HOPE partners, House of Moses, are working to reduce those overwhelming numbers by implementing mentorship, education, and life-skill programs for high school students who have been orphaned or given up by their families.
We got the chance to ask John and Christi Barnes from the House of Moses a few questions about their work, their lives, and their hopes for the future for the children of Haiti.
1. How did you get involved with House of Moses and then how did you get involved with HOPE?
House of Moses was our "surprise child." The surprise came when we were working alongside a mission in Northwest Haiti. The director of the mission asked if anyone had a desire to work with 12 students who were about to 'age out' of the orphanage. My wife and I prayed about it and started meeting with the students each Saturday. After several months of walking beside these students, they began to open up and share their hopes, fears, and dreams. It was not long that God placed it on our hearts to move out of the mission with our family of 5, plus 12 Haitian students, and 1 interpreter, and began discipling these students and living as a family.
At House of Moses we believe we should join God where He is already at work. Through mutual friends we were connected to HOPE and we are so humbled we are able to walk together hand in hand.
2. What is life like for you & your family in Haiti?
Amazing, trying, exciting, frustrating...but perfectly in God's will. On any given day at HoM we could be caring for a burn victim, overseeing a soccer tournament, celebrating one of the 20 birthdays in the house, and cliff-diving.
Our family of five is prospering so much in their journey with Christ. I am so proud of my three children and their amazing mom.
3. How are your kids adjusting to life in a third world country?
They love it. Sure there are some growing moments, especially for our 13 year old daughter, but she blows me away by her commitment to the call. Our two 7 year olds know it as home. In many ways it is their first culture as we adopted Ava our 7 year old daughter from Haiti after the earthquake in 2010 and Jordan loves playing with all his friends.
4. What have you been doing that has directly changed/affected their life?
Working alongside the poor has allowed them to see what truly matters in life and that is relationships.
5. Can you share a specific story of how you've seen a difference in a child's life/community, etc.?
Oh yes! Just recently we were robbed for the second time. One of the items that was taken from under my 13 year old daughter's pillow was her iPod. As she awoke and realized that it was stolen, she responded by saying, "I guess they needed it more than I did."
6. What are your hopes for the future and what plans do you have?
My hope is to one day hear: "Well done good and faithful servant." My hope is to one day see my three children married to spouses that love Jesus more than they love my children. My hope is my three children will be serving Christ in their unique bent.
My hope for House of Moses is that it will be one day be in the hands of Haitians and we will see exponential fruit from those that have lived and been impacted by what God has done here.
