Flood, Tornado, Earthquake: Does Your Insurance Cover It?

When we hear about hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes we just assume that our homeowner’s insurance would cover our loss, but that’s not always the case. The first thing the insurance company will do is determine is if the damage was caused by wind or water. Much of the damage Hurricane Irene was caused from flooding. Most homeowner's policies only cover wind. Flood insurance and Earthquake insurance are extra, so most people don’t have them!


So it might be a good idea to look at your insurance policy to see what actually is covered. This is a list of what most homeowner's insurance policies cover.

Gavin's Gotee

We celebrated Gavin's first birthday this weekend. Naomi's birthday was 2 weeks ago.

My brother bought my kids this mini bounce house for their birthdays. My daughter thinks it’s her new bed! Last night we got her pajamas on and said "time to go to bed…"

So she grabbed every toy she had and dropped it in there. Then she grabbed all her blankets and dug herself a trench through the pile and snuggled up in the corner. She's like a little badger!

God Did Some Amazing Things in Sri Lanka This Week!

Is America Your World View?

When I step away from America for a few days, I always notice how my faith if filtered through a capitalistic mindset. (Work Harder! Get an education! Don't be lazy! Make Money and you will find happiness!)

But when you look at a place like Sri Lanka you see other factor working behind the scene. Religious bondage, caste systems, spiritual strongholds, evil agendas that lead to child trafficking, government corruption, prostitution, indentured servitude and slavery.

We look at our faith through rose colored glasses, and we have to make sure the rose colored filter isn’t democracy or capitalism or American patriotism. (It should be JESUS)

The bible isn’t written by anyone who lived in a democracy. It's written with a "kingdom mindset.
In Romans 3:23 Paul says, "We all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

We’re all sinners, we all need God’s grace and his love and where sin abounds, his grace is so much thicker.

When we read the bible, the main principles don’t say, "work harder and you’ll make more money and have a better life."

Paul says “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." It’s him working through me that makes it possible!

This trip to Sri Lanka has reminded me that living out my faith is so much more than our American style of evangelism. It’s about being the same person in America and Sri Lanka because Jesus Christ has changed me from the inside out.

The question is: Are you more American than you are Jesus? (Is your patriotism and your politics coloring your world view more than Jesus is?)

It’s about being the same person at home with your family as you are at work with your students or your customers. Either Christ has changed you or he hasn’t. It’s simple. So you can’t separate who you are if he has changed you.

Paul writes about the fruit of the spirit in Galations 5: Love, Joy Peace, Patience Kindness, Goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control. As we grow in our relationship with God, these things will shine from us. God will use our fruit to attract people and they see our heart and how He’s changed our life!

So I challenge you to make a decision today- to live your life from a Christ centered world view from now one- wherever you are.

Don’t leave your faith at home. Live your life with your relationship with Christ as the filter on how you interact with the world. That doesn’t mean separating yourself from the world. It means being in the world, but not of it.

Your relationship with God is the filter you use when you watch movies, when you decide where to hang out with your friends, how you set up your dating relationships or the way you manage your household and your marriage, how you see TV and interpret the news and politics. Our relationship with Christ has the be the center and it has to be the filter if you want to make a real impact on the culture you live in!

I Hope This Water is Safe!

Here's how Justin & I spend the afternoon!

Meeting The Kids We Sponsor in Sri Lanka

Today our team had the opportunity to meet the children that they sponsor in Sri Lanka! I can't tell you how many tears were shed as we left. It was powerful.

Paul writes about the "Fruit of the Spirit" in Galations 5. Jesus says people will know us by our fruit, and it was evident from the team on this trip!

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. As we grow in our relationship with God, these things will shine from us, and God will use this fruit to attract people. Fruit is evidence of spiritual growth, and the kids in Sri Lanka saw it this week! 

Desks, VBS, Frisbee & Pirates

We finally finished a few more desks & chairs for the school. We also had a GREAT Vacation Bible School today!

The kids of Kalapua Sri LOVED watching themselves in this video!

Sigiriya - Lion's Rock

Today we visited a 5th century fortress that a local King built out of solid rock.



In the pic, Justin is taking a leap from the top of Sigirya.




It was called Sigiriya and it was amazing. Some call it the 8th wonder of the world. They had running water & air conditioning when the fortress was functioning.

It was a Buddhist holiday, so the park was packed. After the long hike, we waited a long time in line to climb up to the very top. The view was totally worth it! Click here for pictures of our climb in Sigirya.

So Much for Security...

Ok, so here's what we have really been doing in Sri Lanka all week...

Sri Lanka Day 3

Click here to see pictures from Vacation Bible School & our construction projects today. We worked at Kalapua Sri again and most of the team was leading Vacation Bible School. We had some pretty intense volleyball games until the ball went over the giant stone fence. A few of the kids climbed a tree in about 10 seconds and had us back in play within 2 minutes.

We had 4 belt sanders going on the school benches all day. It was 89 degrees and super humid. So we were wet with saw dust stuck to us.

When we got back to the hotel, Mike & I were craving something other than chicken & fish curry, so we took one of those 3 wheel taxi carts down to pizza hut. The ride was epic. Like a roller coaster on the wrong side of the road!

Sri Lanka Trip: Day 2

Kevin, Shawn, Rick & Mike take a break from the humidity while building desks at Kalapua Sri. We also had a team running Vacation Bible School with the kids.

Here's Justin talking about his experience today!

Cell Phone Radiation

The World Health Organization has labeled cell phone use as "possibly carcinogenic to humans."

Here's a few ideas to help minimize the possible radiation!

Use a wired earpiece instead of holding your phone up to your ear every time. Anything that gets the phone a few inches away from your head helps. The bluetooth wireless earpiece help too, but it still gives off some radiation, but much less than the cell phone. You can use the speaker phone or send a text!
You can download a report from Cnet on the phones that give off the most radiation. See if your phone is one of them!

Free HD TV without Cable?

This morning we were talking about pulling the plug on cable/satellite tv and saving some cash since the shows are mostly re-runs in the summer. We had tons of calls about Mr Antenna and how you can get free HD TV service on 40 channels in Vegas. He said the HD is actually better on an antenna because the satellite & cable companies compress it. (Blue Ray quality on an HD TV) Here's the info!

Just Buy The Cheap Sunscreen

Sunscreen is expensive! You see all the different brands, the spray on ones, the creams & lotion versions of sunscreen. Consumer Reports says the cheapest ones may be the best. They tested 22 different spray-on, cream and lotion sunscreens and gave the highest ratings to the least-expensive products! All these protect against ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B radiation. (Exposure to UVA is generally linked to skin cancer while UVB exposure is generally associated with burning)

Here's the Consumer Reports top three “Best Buys” that provided excellent water-resistant protection against AVA & AVB for less than 88 cents per ounce:

Up & Up Sport SPF 30 (Target brand)
No-Ad with Aloe and Vitamin E SPF 45
Equate Baby SPF 50 (Walmart brand)

HenrysPlace.org Golf Tournament

Sergeant Henry Prendes was part of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department before he lost his life in the line of duty.  A devoted Christian, Henry carried his Bible in his patrol car, often sharing scripture or words of encouragement with those he came in contact with. No matter where he was or what he was doing, he would always lend a helping hand, food, money, whatever, to those less fortunate than he.

In his spare time, Henry loved to golf, often hitting the links two or three times a week. An avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed traveling, hunting, fishing and camping. He enjoyed these hobbies so much so that in the weeks before his death, the Prendes family had seventeen acres of land in escrow in Libby, Montana, with plans to build a youth camp. Montana was one of Henry’s favorite places to hunt and fish, and he wanted to create a place where children could learn valuable skills through fun and fellowship. Following his death, his widow, Dawn Prendes, decided to move the location of the camp to where it could have a positive affect on the community he fought so hard to protect; thereby giving something back to the citizens and future generations of Las Vegas in Henry’s honor. Henrysplace.org is raising money for this camp!

GOLF TOURNAMENT


The 5th Annual Henry Prendes Charity Golf Classic is set for Saturday, May 7, 2011 at Palm Valley Golf Club - Sun City Summerlin.

Chip Shot Contest - Every golfer in the tournament will take a 90 ft chip shot and every golfer that makes it in the hole wins $200!!  One lucky golfer will take a 90 ft chip shot to win $1000!

Swing Video - During the tournament each player will have one of their tee shots videotaped with a special camera. Several days after the event, every player will receive an email with their swing next to your choice of a Tour Pro for a frame-by-frame, slow motion comparison.

Register now to join in all the fun and honor a hero's dream to build a camp for the youth in our community he fought so hard to protect! For more info or to sign up click here!
