Today - all the stockings are sewed and stuffed with Bibles, candy and drink mix. There are 500 of them waiting to be finished off with mouthwash, baby powder and notes.
Speaking of notes, we mentioned we have been Blessed by the kindness in the notes we have received - it never ends. We have handwritten notes from Michigan, Missouri, Colorado and Minnesota. The notes have been written by youngsters in the first grade to old timers like me. Still waiting on the notes from the slowpokes in Illinois..........but wait it figures, since that state is mostly Democrats.
Several folks have contributed money towards the cost of the project - we thank them so much for their sacrifice.
To that end, we'll have a couple more updates before shipping takes place. We are waiting on Matt's Iraqi address.
Please pray for our troops AND their families.
God Bless,
mark and karyn
