Shannon, Bay, Julie, Liz and I spent a rainswept afternoon inside the Garden State Discovery Museum encouraging its patrons to write letters to American soldiers. A simple way to express our gratitude to those who give of themselves to protect our country, our freedom.
I think the image below says it all (click the image to enlarge.)
Thanks, 77Kids, The Motherhood, for making it happen.
Why Operation Gratitude? It’s the least we can do.
Elizabeth Gilbert lived in amazing places. Italy! India! Indonesia! And where does she choose to set up housekeeping with her new hubby ? Care to take a guess?
New Jersey. Ha. Take that nay-sayers. Not only is Gilbert planted in my Garden State, but she’s right here in my part of the Delaware Valley.
We’re practically neighbors. I could bump into her at the IGA or the coffee shop or she might come to my church. (Errr. She’s probably not coming to church) Hey, how cool is it that after exploring an exotic place like Southeast Asia, it’s my unassuming little patch of Earth that she decides to call home.
Brilliant choice of real estate investing, Liz. Welcome, welcome.
Today I finished Gilbert’s latest book, Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage
Have you read it? Do you plan on reading Committed?
Let’s discuss it together.
Two New Jersey high school boys arrested for planning to bomb Bridgewater-Raritan High School.
This is just heartbreaking.
Friends, please pray for those involved: the two teen boys arrested, the high school students who were their alleged targets and for the community of teachers and parents. I grew up in the Martinsville section of Bridgewater. I graduated from one of the old high schools, before there were combined to form the one school there is today. I’m shocked and saddened that this level of evil found it’s way to my hometown.
