Cupcake update

A few weeks ago, I, with the help of a couple awesome ladies, baked 30 dozen cupcakes. That's right, 360 cupcakes. You read in my previous post about us selling these to help provide cupcakes for us to take into the strip clubs and love on the girls. We sold all of them and some! So a huge THANK YOU to those of you who helped support this ministry. This is something you can always donate to, if you have questions just email me at tkaltman0805@yahoo.com. :)

The Cupcake Girls

One cool thing happening this week is that you have the opportunity to buy some delicious cupcakes, and support an awesome ministry. One of the new ministries at Verve is The Cupcake Girls, some women and I who go each week to some strip clubs, bringing cupcakes, loving on the girls, and (when the opportunity is right) inviting them to Verve. So ... we're going to have the same (awesome) cupcakes for sale on Sunday morning and Monday evening. The deal is that you pay $20, which gets you a dozen cupcakes and pays for a dozen cupcakes to be brought to a Strip Club. You get to eat well, and support a great ministry! If you don't live in Vegas and still want to support the ministry and help provide cupcakes for these girls, you can email me at tkaltman0805@yahoo.com for more infomation. Thanks for your support!! :-)

Future Rock Stars

I was uploading old pics and videos from my phone to my computer and thought I would share this one with you. I was making dinner and had to come up with something to entertain the boys as they joined me in the kitchen. Enjoy :)

Dog-tags

So Brodie is working with Daddy in the garage and just ran into me holding something....Daddy's military dog-tags. For those of you who do not know what dog tags are, they are silver tags that hang around the neck of a soldier. They have vital information pertaining to the soldier. As I took the dog tags in my hand, I read the information engraved on them. Name, security number, blood type, and religion. I thought, hmm . . . religion? It struck a cord with me.

So if a soldier is at war and something happens to them, their dog tags have the top 4 of vital information another soldier would need to know about them...name, social, blood type, and religion. It made me think if I were to die, do the people around me know these "important things" about me? No, I don't have dog tags around my neck, but they should know by the way I live my life. What would they say about me? Would my relationship with God be in with the top 4 important things they say about me?

So, what's on your dog tag? Name, social, blood type . . . ? I can't think of anything more important than a person knowing what's going to happen to them when this life ends.

Soldiers know they may face death when going to war, so they think about it, just look at the 4th thing on their dog tag. I hope you've thought about what happens when your heart stops beating. If you haven't I hope you will soon.

I hope that you know that there's a God who loves you. Who loves you more than you can ever imagine and who wants you to spend forever with Him in heaven. If there's one thing I've been reminded of lately it's that life is fragile and shouldn't be taken for granted. We're not promised tomorrow. If you have questions, I'm here. If you're not sure that you even believe there is a God, ask him to show you if He's real. Know that I share this with you because I care. I don't want someone to one day ask me "why didn't you tell me?"
