While having lunch on the beach at the Padre Island National Seashore (PINS) Elise explored the idea of sharing her sandwich with the greedy gulls. The idea caught on with the gulls!

2013 Benefit Dinner Video
2013 Benefit Dinner and Silent Auction
After nearly a year of schedule juggling and mid-stream retooling, I finally finished editing the video from the 2013 Benefit Dinner and Silent Auction.
The annual event was held on 27 April 2013, at Grace Church in Eden Prairie, MN. Video from the program portion of the event has been posted on our Web site. This year’s gathering featured the return of international award-winning illusionist Adrian Van Vactor (Web site), and was hosted by emcee Dr. Irv Woolf, director of the National Coalition for Purity (Web site).
2014 Benefit Theme
2014 Benefit Theme
Each year, we seek the Lord for direction in choosing our annual Benefit Dinner’s theme. Sometimes we struggle to discern a direction at all; others we can’t decide among multiple options. Eventually, God does what only He can do: builds unity out of uncertainty; anticipation from anxiety; peace from panic.
Each time we recognize with the acuity of hindsight that He has carefully and precisely woven the circumstances, the timing, and our hearts, to bring us to a beautiful place. This year is yet another opportunity for praise. Our theme this year is taken from Luke 5:5-8:
“As you say… Lord!”
Tree Hunting
This short video from December, 2013, should give you some idea of the fun and love we have together: documenting our annual family quest for the quintessential Christmas tree.
