You Are My Sunshine

Happy 40th Birthday to my Sunshine! :) 

I guess this song generally refers to men - women relationships but I have always heard it sung in the context of parent - child relationships or in this case friend to friend relationship!

One of my besties, Sara Lynn Pfaff, has the smile and personality of sunshine in my life (and I suspect in the lives of others as well...).  I call her my Sunshine and I often will sing this song to her (chorus only) over the phone, type it on her FB wall, etc.  Sara's laugh, her beautiful smile, her amazing personality, her generous heart and her love for God make her pure Sunshine.  I love this woman deeply.  Sara and I are besties by God's grace alone, we have quite a friendship testimony.  Ask either one of us about it sometime, we are happy to share! 

Today is Sara's 40th birthday.  She begins a new chapter in the story of her life as she begins a new decade.  I'm excited for her because I believe God is going to do some amazing, unexpected things in her life in this new decade.  She and God are kick starting it by a 7 week missions trip to our beloved Kenya this summer!  I'm thrilled (okay and a bit green with envy) for this opportunity God has placed in front of her! 

Sara, my Sunshine, happiest of days to you.  I love you!

Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by to pa
