Need a laugh?

Have to share this very true story that happened to me today and it wasn't very funny at the time. I was at Target today and opened my wallet to find that the $40 I had in cash (very rare..but I was saving it for something specific) was no where to be found. I searched everywhere, racking my brain for where I could have put it or lost it. All of the sudden it dawned on me...every Sunday during the offering time, our children shake down their parents for all their spare change and put it in the "Children of Africa" basket up front. Well, yesterday, I was up in the choir and Damion was home sick so Miranda was sitting by herself WITH MY PURSE. I turned to her and dreading the answer asked her "Miranda, did you get some change out of my purse yesterday for the kid's offering?" "Yep," she smiled. Me..mad face...."How much did you put in the basket?" Miranda..smiling face..a couple of dollar bills.....uhhhhh ooohhhhh...those were twenty dollar bills, weren't they?" Smile fading. So, I suppose the children of Africa will get a very generous donation this Sunday! Luckily, I was with my friend (who was laughing) so I couldn't help but laugh too but......this will definitely go down in the history books and the lesson books!!!

Might as well share an image or two while I'm here! I love, love, love this portrait of Janae and her mom! The background is beautiful, the tone serious, and I like how the baby is the only one looking at the camera:)


















This shoot with Stacey and Jacob was so fun!! I admired their bravery in getting soaked to the bone in that cold water!! The beginnings of the sunset gave us just the right light for creating beautiful images :)
