Many of you know that both of our boys are involved in Boy Scouting. They are both at the rank of Life Scout, which means they don't have very far to go before they finish. The next, and last rank that they will earn is Eagle Scout.
This past weekend, Mac completed part of his Eagle project. It's been in the works for months, and isn't finished quite yet. He put on a 5k race to raise money to purchase supplies for the local Christian homeless shelter. We expected to raise between $500 and $700. Mac had 91 registered participants, and raised $1705. Now we need a shopping list!
I can't tell you how overwhelmed we were as a family. What a blessing!
Mac's plan was blessed and spilling over with God's grace!!! How wonderful for everyone involved and the fulfilled needs for the Christian homeless shelter. Wow. :o)

Congratulations to Mac and you! My brother earned his Eagle Scout back in the day and is now leading young boys along a path toward accomplishing great things as a Scoutmaster. Hooray for boys willing to learn from men and men willing to show the way.
