the lions den was established to keep people posted on major events happening in our life and to keep a family history, an online scrap book of sorts. we understand our shortcomings in keeping up with family and friends across the country, so this is our attempt to put the ball in your court.
the inspiration for the lions den came from our kids beniah and haneul, we want to be able to share their exciting developments with people who want to know. enjoy.

operation christmas child
i packed a shoebox for operation christmas child with a small group during college one year. and now that beniah is older i want to pack a box with him (and h) every year. last night, we took him shopping, and while i first thought we should choose to do a girl box so he wouldn't be conflicted about giving the fun stuff he picked out away, he actually choose to pick for a little boy. so we talked about the little boy who would be receiving all these fun toys and had him pick out stuff that he likes. he picked a big truck, small planes and tractor toys, glow sticks, blocks, a puppet, puzzle, some cranberries, yogurt covered pretzels, toothbrushes and toothpaste. we also prayed together for the little boy who would open the box. initially, i think his heart was conflicted-here are all these great toys i just picked out!-but as we talked through it he was excited to mail it to him and even asked if he could play with him. that made me smile, but i told him he is far, far away.
put together a shoebox this week-you can drop it off at several locations in tucson throughout the 21st of november!
you've got to love those sweet smiles on the kid's faces as they open up their boxes. :)
