Okay! This may be a lame excuse, but some of you may be wondering why I am putting these short little cutsie and quick posts up this week. Why not something with a little more meat in it? Well, the main reason is that we have been doing a day camp during the day and this by night...

No, I am not a master puppeteer, although I have been known to be on a puppet team here and there, but we have been taking the mission kids to a VBS every evening. So, yes, the parents have been thanking us. Day camp by day, and VBS by night...sleep well little ones !

Actually I'm not talking about Gutenberg, Germany, nor even about the famous Gutenberg Bible. I'm talking about Project Gutenberg. Project Gutenberg was started in 1971 and now encourages the free distibution of good reading material through ebooks. You wouldn't believe how many famous works of literature that you can actually get for free. Project Gutenberg has thousands and thousands of titles that you can download free of charge. Just click on the banner above to see all of the great titles that you can get! I just downloaded a G. A. Henty book that would cost me around $20 to buy from a book distributer that sells his works. Of course it's not going to have the pretty binding, and you will have to either print it out and put it in a notebook, or read it off of your computer. But, if you aren't bothered by that then this is the place for you! I love it and plan on using it for a lot of homeschooling this year. For all of you homeschoolers out there, it's amazing how many resources that you can find on the internet that are free of charge. I wonder how much I will actually spend this year for homeschool? Hmmm?!? I'll have to let you know!

Swagbucks is a great way to get free money. I've already earned enough Swagbucks to buy $20 in Amazon gift cards. And most of the bucks I've gotten just by searching the internet using their searchbar. But that's not the only way to get bucks and Amazon gift cards aren't the only things that you can buy with your bucks. Click on the button below to find out what all the rage is about. I know you'll love it once you get started!

Lately I have been focusing so much on our summer day camps that I haven't written much about Compassion International. So, today, I wanted to post a video that spotlights child poverty. That is Compassion's goal -
"Releasing Children from Poverty in Jesus' Name". It's a short but very eye opening video. It really made me think.
