Baking for a Cause

First of all this is my first official blog.  I’m so excited to “blog”.  Enjoy reading.  Comments welcome.  As my daddy always said, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”; oh yeah, if my grammar is incorrect, just make the most of it.  English is not my forte.
Bible Verse of the Day:  Matthew 11:28-30 KJV “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart:  and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burdens light.”

As I watch the news about all of the DEVISTATION of Tornadoes and Floods that have ripped through our country, I am heartbroken, counting my blessings, and I want to cry but I don't know for who.  Should I cry because this tragedy escaped my family and homeland?...the families who lost everything or a loved one?...Or should I cry for the children whose world has been torn up side down.  Child development teaches us that children are very resilant but is that enough for them to rebuild their lives?  As I watch my son run and play I think about what can someone such as I do to help aide...and to whom shall I trust once money is exchanged? 

Therefore, I am pledging to have a bake sale in my local community and give all the proceeds to the American Red Cross.  This is the only organization that reminds me of the Marines...on the front line.

Thanks for reading.  Have a blessed Day!
