I want to share an opportunity with you to help care for children affected by aids in Africa and get music. From June 6th through July 6th, you can download any of the songs from my debut CD "All I Need" and 50% of the sale goes to Mission Providence.

Mission Providence is a Mission Providence is a nonprofit, faith-based, humanitarian organization whose main objective is to build self-sustaining communities in Sub-Saharan Africa, beginning with widows and orphans affected by HIV/AIDS. My friends Stephen and Esme Sheasby started this organization out of a desire to help the children affected by AIDS in Africa where they are from. The Sheasby's moved to Swazililand, Africa back in January of 2009 and are making great strides as the feed children orphaned by HIV/AIDS. There are also some specific funding needs that have become apparent recently. Here is an excerpt from the Mission Providence Facebook causes page.

The biggest news is that we will be starting a second feeding > station on Monday. We have managed to secure the dry goods for this > feeding, which will be twice a week and for about 60 children. We > are supplying vegetables and protein from our salary. As the dollar > continues to drop in value we are able to do less with our salary > and are needing to draw on our savings this months to take care of > so many extra needs. We have taken 2 people to hospital and paid for > their fees, we have paid school fees for 2 children, bought food for > one child who has been abandoned, to name just a few extra expenses > that we are happy to undertake. As I understand it we are not able > to provide a working fund at the moment but we do have a specific > request to help us with the gardening project that will help with > vegetables for the feeding program. We need 2 water tanks that cost > about R3,000 each and at the current exchange rate will be in the > region of $400 US each. Is there any means to fund one tank in the > next week or so and the second a month later? Had the exchange rate > been better and had there not been these other needs this month I > would have been able to purchase these from my own salary.

Is This Important
Jun 3, 2009
Conversation between my wife (W) and eldest child (EC)

EC - Momma, What is this? (Looking at a brown smudge on her finger)
W - I don't know. Where did you get it?
EC - From my ear.
W - Oh, That's ear wax.
EC - (with a slight it of uneasiness in her voice) Is it important?

My wife and I laughed about that conversation for a while. What a good question? Is it important? I wonder how many things that I just let go or hold on to without asking God the question, "Is it important?" How many passing thoughts about someone have I missed because I haven't asked, "Is it important?" How many times have I held on to a wrong done to me without asking, "Is it important?" Life on this earth is only so long. I really want to make the most of what I experience here. My God, please give me the humility to ask you, "Is it important"

Living on a prayer
May 26, 2009
Last Tuesday, I was in Austin and found this sign on the side of the road. Which certainly looked like the handy work of a homeless person. "Living on a prayer. Please Help" I was taken back by the sign enough that I took it home. I read the sign and I thought, "Now isn't that true of all of us." Take these events from the last week. A couple that I know well continue to struggle with a painful illness that is said to have no cure, a friend just found out he has some form of lymphatic cancer, my daughter was sick with a 105 fever today and was taken to the emergency room, the finances are tighter than "under armour", the car is acting funny, and I have a friend who is working through suicidal thoughts. We are all living on a prayer and we need help in every aspect of our lives. To my unknown sign making friend, Thank- you for reminding me that my life is lived on a prayer.
Trading Up
by Tquan Moore
May 13, 2009

Today was a early morning. I have a friend that I meet, so that we can talk and pray. So I got up and took a shower and after the shower I find that my youngest daughter has left the coziness of her bed traded it for the comfort of sleeping with mom. My children tend to do this often. Therefore, the sight of my daughter in our bed was not a surprise but this morning I noticed something different. (Probably, because I was a bit more coherent than usual at that time of morning.) What I noticed was that she is making a trade. My youngest likes her bed just fine. It is just her size, it is the top bunk, it has all of her favorite stuffed animals and even her name is one the wall in her room. You would think that would be more than enough to cause her to hunker down and only come out for food, but there there is just something about resting with mom and dad. Eventhough, with mom and dad, there is no top bunk, no stuffed animals, no name on the wall and there is no room, I believe my daughters see this as trading up. As if there is no comfort like the comfort of resting with mom and dad. Here is a realization. I don't trade up enough. Sometimes, I am so comfortable with 'my bed' (literally and figuratively) that I don't trade up to be with my father. My daughters especially the youngest seem to rest the most soundly when they sleep with us. Maybe I will rest better as well when I go to my Father. "Come to me all who are tired and I will give you rest." - Jesus
