It is Love Week at Elevation Church. Love Week 2013 has been our biggest yet. We partnered with 150 organizations with over 600 opportunities to serve. Monday, I helped package food for hungry children around the world with the group Servants With a Heart. Thursday, I spent a few hours serving at the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte.
Friday night I attended the live recording of the new Elevation Worship CD/DVD with 2 of my favorite people in the whole world, Linda & Laura Mackay. Elevation Worship releases one CD every year and this one will be out early next year.
Today is Blossom's Re-Birthday. One year ago today, we adopted Blossom from the Moore County Animal Shelter. We celebrated her birthday with a cake from Barbara's Canine Cafe in Charlotte. Below, Scott is working hard to hold her back so that I can take a photo. After I snapped the picture, we cut the cake and Blossom reluctantly shared with her brother Balto.
It
started in 2010 as an effort to mobilize volunteers in a blitz of
service to bless our neighbors and impact our city with the love of
Jesus. That first year, we encouraged volunteers to serve just one
hour. The movement grew from more than 10,000 hours served that first
year to more than 50,000 in 2012. More than 7,000 volunteers joined in
the efforts. Many of those volunteers took the entire week off to
serve. Building on the momentum of LOVE Week 2012, we will serve more
hours, mobilize more volunteers and bless more people. - See more at:

And, finally, I have to share Colonel Meow's instagram of today. Colonel Meow is my favorite cat (outside of Greta, of course). Here he is saying "Boots, if you get one drop of slobber on my new satellite, you are in big trouble."
I almost forgot! I get to pick up this sweet girl from camp every day.

Has it been a year already since Blossom came to live with you? It seems like only yesterday. I'm glad to see her craving doggie cake instead of socks, paper, or other undigestibles.
ReplyDeleteOMG, Colonel Meow is a hoot! What an expression! The dog looks unfazed. LOL
