"...I would gladly die ten times over."

"To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition, to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived, THIS is to have succeeded."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Transcendentalist essayist and Unitarian minister

Thanks to everyone who made the Henderson Arts Commission's "Arts in the Alley" program a success last night.  Special thanks to those who supported Richard and Jenni in their long road to adoption.  You were able to receive a gift for a child in your life, so that they may receive a child to be a gift in their own.  That is what it is all about: caring and sharing the love of God, person to person, stanger to stragner, friend to friend.  I know, most of all, Richard and Jenni desire your prayers in this time of waiting on God's response to their prayer to receive just the right child they have wanted for so long.

See all you Chester County folks again on August 26, 2010, LORD willing, for another great "Arts in the Alley."

In Him,

-Will

P.S.  Jenni takes custom orders and SEC football is just around the corner...think about and contact me for more information on how to get that favorite fan a great gift...:)

P.P.S.  Be thinking about returning FHU students...these dolls make great social club gifts, mission trip outreach (lightweight, can be culturally diverse, etc.), can be themed to a particular major (biology, drama, etc.)...possibilities are endless and all monies go to save a child!
