Somer Thompson

I am amazed how quickly our lives can change. In a MOMENT! I don't know if you have heard about a little girl Somer Thompson, she is missing. She went missing on Monday. She lives in Florida.
Her mother, Dina made her plea to the cameras today and it was so apparent how this Mom was in absolute excruciating pain. She said that on Monday morning Somer said she wasn't feeling well, she told Somer if she continued not to feel good today that she could call her and then she would come and get her.
I can't imagine all that is going on in her head, but I do know that Somer and her family need our prayers! Please join in with me praying for the safe return of this Mommy's baby. I know if it was me I would want everyone on this planet praying for my child.
Thank you and God Bless You.

It's our 6th year!!!

Can you believe it, This year makes our 6th year that we have been collecting can & dry foods for Tricounty Family Ministries. We also collect clothes, coats and Christmas gifts for the children that come through. So guess what, we need your help again this year. We need your help to make a difference right here in Our Tricounty area.
Some ideas to help us would be: Start a can food drive at work, church or your bible study group, Ask your co-workers, your family and church family for some gently used clothes that we can load up and take to them. We would ask if you would to make sure they are washed and folded. We sort them out for M/F and sizes and put them in label boxes for the team at TFM. We do not want for them to have to do any additional work.
Our deadline goal is November the 14th. We can come by whenever you ask for us too and pick up what you've collected at any time. Just post a comment to this post and give me your name and number, we'll get in touch with you asap and answer any questions you may have.
So lets get BUSY BUSY BUSY, I know God will bless you for your time and efforts,
God Bless, Deana & The B & E Team
