Cicada Pictures

Some pictures of the cicada invasion in my backyard . . .

 

Cicadas!

Okay, in honor of the cicadas invading everywhere, I'm starting a contest to see who can come up with the most clever cicada meme! Here are a few to get us started . . .

Cicadas: Nature's natural aerator (Seriously, I pay my lawn company to poke holes in my lawn in the fall. The ciadas are doing it for me for free!) 

Frankenbug! (Just look at it!)

Cicadas: No more skinny birds (aka Avian all-you-can-eat buffet!)

What else? :-)

The Pastor Challenge - Done!

Well, we did it.

I challenged myself to accomplish a Metric Century ride - farther and faster than I had ever gone before - and challenged you to raise more money for the Assist Pregnancy Center than we ever had before, and we did it!

Final numbers:

Raise $5,000 for Pastor - you contributed $7,058!

Raise $7,500 for the Lutherans for Life team - you contributed $8,638!

Wow! Thank you so much!

And the overall numbers for the event:

Goal: $125,000 (very ambitious; more than ever before)

Raised: $132,231!

More important than meeting the challenge, of course, is all the mothers that will be counseled and helped, the babies that will be saved, and the families that will be lifted up and provided for. You are truly making a difference in the lives of many. Thanks for your Christian love and generosity!

Now . . . what can we do next year? :-)
