Carbon Challenge
This is a great way to get started making the changes we all need to make. And it's actually a real money saver!
Wow...
I am amazed at the amount of time that has slipped between my fingers, regarding my lack of blogging! So many personal situations have kept me away. I've thought about this often, but what with shoulder replacement and family members passing on.....I've been distracted. And least we forget....the overwhelming amount of snow in January and February. Not just once but twice...or was it three times? Significant enough for the Election Board to close it's doors for four days!
Spring has sprung and the redbud trees are coming into full bloom. The redbud trees are by far my favorite "sign" of spring. Oh, and don't forget the birds! A mockingbird couple has decided to bless me with their delightful songs as they prepare their nest for babies to arrive, outside my study window. It doesn't get any better than the sound of birds chirping and singing their mating songs.
Enjoy the glory and beauty only Spring can provide.
Carpe Diem!

Autumn has arrived.
Our Blessing of the Pets was such a success. We had 34 dogs, two cats, and our first bird! So alot of wonderful people enjoyed a perfect morning. Thank you to everyone who helped to make it so successful.
John Knox has kicked off the Fall Season with so many exciting classes and events. The Green Team with our Fair Trade Sunday is off and running. We sold just about everything our first Sunday of October.
The first Sunday of November will have so many new goodies. You will NOT want to miss November. Please remember the Green Team can take early orders, also. Christmas shopping is upon us and Fair Trade is the way to go. Heifer Foundation provides fair trade shopping and Global Exchange.org is another one.
You will want to see the surprises in store for our December Fair Trade Sale. So make the first Sunday of each month and experience the "feel good" moments when you purchase fair trade.
Peace and Joy to all.

BLESSING OF THE PETS
Saturday, September 25, 2010, 10:00am
Last year the Dog Dish donated doggy treats for our event. We look forward to this years event knowing more people are learning of this event and wanting their pets to be blessed.
Our pets come in many shapes and forms. Some have four legs..some have none!
With the love and devotion our pets provide us, we can experience a deep warm feeling when we experience this time to commune in God's garden and experience the blessing of our pets.
We look forward to this time to meet citizen's of the Tulsa community. Treats will be provided.

I'm still here.... :)
I just want everyone to know...I'm still here. I've been derelict in blogging. It's election season and I find myself extremely busy with my job.
Next Tuesday, July 27th is the State/County Primary. I hope EVERYONE makes a point to exercise their right to vote.
I feel it is worthy to remind people, especially women, what thousands of women fought for, for seventy + years! Our right to vote! A group of women decided to let their voices be heard regarding their right to vote. They knew they could contribute to the growth and welfare of this country. These women suffered much abuse and violence at the hands of men who did not like the idea one bit. These women were arrested, jailed, raped, tortured, beaten just so WE TODAY can VOTE! Wow, why would any woman, or man, not want to let their voices be heard? We live in a free country and I find this very sad, so many people are complacent.
Several years ago, at a summer workshop for County Election Board employees from all 77 counties in Oklahoma, met in OKC. During part of the seminar, we saw a slide show, with commentary, showing people in Iraq waiting in long lines stretching for several miles into the desert, just to be able to experience, for the first time voting. One picture showed two women, with great big smiles on their faces, holding up their index fingers, to proudly show the purple ink, proving they did vote. That photo really touched me.
Summer will be drawing to a close soon and the JK Green Team will begin a new season of Fair Trade events. We hope to purchase additional items to sale.
Share any ideas of items you would like to see for sale. Kim Adams mentioned fair trade soccer balls, which I had looked at also. I've got two granddaughters who love soccer and it would be a wonderful way to share the importance of caring how our brothers and sisters all over the world deserve a fair trade for their hard work. They should not be exploited. Justice in business is a good thing.
Until later....peace and Carpe Diem! :)
