Thats Jami with out an e.
J-A-M-I no E

It’s not your fault my parents spelled my name wrong.

I guess we can’t blame them either, after all they were pretty young at the time. . .

Anywhoo. . . the point of this post is to bring to the attention of all my linking buddies that the directions to this petite Texan blog is jami (no e) leigh. com

If you link to jami (with an e) leigh .com you’ll find your way over to this young Vancouverite’s personal musings. Which as far as I can tell is not too bad of a place to end up.

Of course both addresses are under the assumptions that you know how to spell my middle name. L-E-I-G-H

If you miss spell both the first and middle name you’ll find your self over at jami (with and e) L with two E’s.com which will direct you to Jamie Lee, a twenty-something British vocalist which also may not be that bad of place to visit.

A recent comment from Cloe reminded me of our 2006 Bible Smuggling adventure. As I oohed and awhed over how young the kids look I couldn’t help but drag you in to this reminiscent moment with me. We need to do this again. . .
______________________________________________________________________________________________________

This morning before missing the bus we had a grand adventure! Kaleb and Charleigh woke up early and packed 5 Chinese Bibles into 5 little envelopes. They slowly attached little address labels printed in an exciting foreign language. They took turns praying for each package, they prayed the Bibles would quickly make their way to China, they prayed the recipients would be kept safe and would learn of God’s love. Then they prayed for the persecuted Christians of China. Finally they stuffed the Bibles into a larger envelope to send to the re mailing center. We drove down to the mailbox while it was still dark and sent the little Bibles on there way.
Some how the dark made the whole episode a lot more dramatic! The kids were so excited to be “Bible smugglers”!




Have I told you about Voice of the Martyr’s program Bibles Unbound? I guess I haven’t yet. We first learned about the great program last year from who else but GentleWhisper.

Want to start smuggling Bibles but don’t have the resources for a trip to China? Here’s your chance:
With Bibles Unbound, you mail New Testaments into restricted countries.

“The cost is only $30.00 per month for each pack of five Bible mailings and includes everything you need to participate in the program.”

“In cooperation with UPS and the international re-mail system, The Voice of the Martyrs is able to mail Bibles directly into many restricted nations using non-U.S. postage. And because the New Testaments are mailed individually and anonymously, issues of “illegal” distribution and citizens of the restricted nation having contact with the West are avoided.”

The kids have been wanting to do this ever since Amy first told us about it, they were so excited to finally take part. Click on over and learn more about how you can help smuggle Bibles.

Happy Birthday Jer
My nephew, Jeremiah, spent spring break with us. He invented and planned this Oreo Birthday cake. He waited all week to surprise his cousins with his “Early Birthday Surprise”. Here he is after decorating it himself. Happy 7th Birthday Jeremiah! We Love you and Miss You!
