91%

As of today, December 30 2010 we are at 91%.  We only need $538 to meet our monthly budget of $6000.  In the month of December the Lord raised $600 in new monthly support which excites us to see what He will do in January.

Stay Tuned

"Hark the Herald Angels Sing!"

Hark the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

Christ by highest heav'n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

The 1987 Atlanta Falcons

In 1987, the Atlanta Falcons were 3-12.  They were the worst team in the NFL.  The offense averaged 13.7 points a game while the defense let the opponent score on average 29.7 points a game.  You are not going to win many games. 
Fast forward 13 years, the Falcons are 10-2, they are the best team in the NFC and I would like to see them win the Super Bowl.  I think they can beat most teams this year but will have problems matching up with the Philadelphia Eagles and the New Orleans Saints come playoff time.
I've been a Falcons fan since 1991, that is the first time I saw a Falcons game and I have cheered for them ever since.  I am not a bandwagon fan, I don't hate Micheal Vick and yes I've done the "Dirty Bird" dance a couple times.  I've liked the Falcons when they had "Primetime" and when they had Jeff George. I've been to Atlanta Fulton County Stadium to watch a football game. 
What do the 1987 Falcons, the "Dirty Bird" dance and "Primetime" all have to do with me?  Well I guess not much.
I just like the Falcons and want to educate the 3 readers of this blog with a little Falcons history.


You might be wondering why I made all the 87s bold. That is because we are at 87% of our support budget.  We need $738/month to finish our support.  We are getting very close to being on the field in Brazil and we are excited, kinda like when I used to watch "Primetime" play football x 10.




Don't know "Primetime", introduce yourself by watching a highlight tape.
