My STL Challenge

Well, as much as I greatly admire Pastor Patience Linton in Huron...I cannot shave my head for STL.  BUT I will do something drastic to it if our students meet my challenge.  I am definitely a little vain when it comes to my hair - okay, I admit it.  I work hard to keep it healthy. 

If Ardent YM students can raise $3,000 in the next 6 weeks for Speed The Light (before middle school camp), I will dye half of my hair pink (or another color if they insist).  Maybe you don't think this is drastic enough...but if you know me, you know how drastic it is.  I will keep it like this for the entire summer.  (You have to picture her as a brunette.)  It would be something like this picture...I'll color the whole bottom half and a few pieces so it shows through.  Ohhhhh I feel queasy just looking at that...

I pray that our congregation will be gracious in having to look at it.  :o)  It's a GOD CAUSE so we can't go wrong, right?

(mumbling to myself) It's worth it...it's worth it...it's worth it.  Wow I've gotta work on hair vanity.

Ardent YM Dirty Jobs

I am really excited about this new idea for raising Speed the Light funds!  We already have several "dirty" jobs lined up for the next few weeks - and so far, those jobs alone are worth over $1200!  Yes, one of them involves manure.  :-D  It's SO cool to see how many students have signed up to help too. 

We have already completed our first dirty job...it wasn't terribly dirty.  But it was kind of an urgent need for the church, and you guys came through!  Great Job!
