My New Favorite

Shoe.

I'm in love with this shoe.

When you have ginourmous feet, and you find your size, it makes you want to buy one in each color. I think I need to start playing the lottery because I could online shop all day.

If you want to walk with us on October 20th in Houston, please sign up asap :) We will be walking in San Antonio on October 27th. All the info on how to sign up is on www.teamzoe.net.

I sure hope to see you there! We got our Team Zoe t-shirts and they are cute. The printing isn't the greatest, but the quality of the shirts is really good. The Team Zoe hat looks really good. I may need to redo the png file to jpg. Anyone out there experienced with working with these types of files?

Ok. I am outtie. My SUV is parked under a tree and I got blasted with the bird poop last night. I think they think is is funny to target my car.

I can do this. I'm full of Starbucks today! (and thanks to all of you who gave me the Bucks cards for my birthday. I've already used up over $70!!!)

Your assignment today is to say hi. Even if you don't comment much. It's been quiet around here lately.

P.S. If you are looking to volunteer or to donate to something, I watched a film on these. They are hand cranked "wheelchairs" that can maneuver around rugged terrain.

Here is another site. There are a few distributors across the country, so even if you aren't in San Antonio, you might be able to find one near you. I'm kind of handy, so I am going to go with my awesome friend Linda T to go help build some.

The Need
There are an estimated 21 million people world-wide that have lost the use of their legs due to landmines, disease, accident or injury. Landmines alone kill or maim one person every twenty seconds. The need is extensive and growing

A Solution - P.E.T.
Basically, the P.E.T. is a hand-cranked wheelchair that uses pneumatic tires for use on dirt and grass areas.

How can you help?
This is a growing but daunting effort due to the great need. There are many ways to help as the many current volunteers and contributors have learned.

· Give/Raise Funds: This is always basic. It takes money to buy metal and parts, to weld, to package, to ship, and to distribute. Ask -- and you shall receive -- is the message of scripture. Be creative.

· Find People with welding, metalworking, or woodworking skills who will agree to help build P.E.T. parts. Help them with expenses--buy the metal, etc. Help them ship it to one of The P.E.T. Places.

· Find Businesses that sell or make "off the shelf" items needed for the P.E.T.s. Get them to donate or sell to you at no profit. Send the items to a P.E.T workshop.

· Talk about the P.E.T. Project. Promote. Gossip about it. Say to folks in conversation, "Our church is doing a fascinating mission project..." Tell the story.
