I found it slightly ironic to receive a Groupon email this morning from a local tandem skydiving outfit especially considering the news last week of the 80-year-old lady who had the in-air mishap… If you haven’t read that story, visit http://abcn.ws/KXFgPB.

So as I looked at the email, I couldn’t help but instantly screenshot it and do a ‘slight’ edit in Photoshop to emphasize the irony:

I LOVE getting voicemails like this!

A little glimpse into one of our family outings –

Stomp Rocket

5.21.2012 — Leave a comment

I ordered a Stomp Rocket on Amazon a few weeks ago when it was on sale. For the kids, of course.

I was nervous on a few levels as to how great a ‘toy’ this would be in our household, but can honestly say that I’m impressed. Ezra, is almost 3 and this is ‘his’ toy. He can load the rockets, stomp the pillow (he says it’s Barney’s toe and that he has to jump very hard), and retrieve the rockets. Incredibly, the toy holds up even under this daddy’s stomp, too! Ella (6) also enjoys both stomping and retrieving the arrows from the yard after successful launches.

Here’s a video of the Stomp Rocket in action:

Just this morning I came across a new ministry out of South Korea called “Seoul USA

The vision of Seoul USA:

The vision of Seoul USA is that the North Korean church become the catalyst for spiritual examination, repentance, and renewal in Asian and Western Christianity, with North Korean defectors serving among the leadership pillars of the church around the world.

Their pursuit to evangelize North Korea in a unique fashion is what caught my attention this morning. They do “balloon launches

Watch this video for information on this unique initiative:

I love this idea and I am now adding “balloons” to my personal prayer list as SeoulUSA continues to send these balloons and the Gospel across the border as a witness for Jesus Christ.
