Lucky Number 13

So, first of all I've gotta blow a few million kisses your way for helping us crush the challenge that was recently extended to us! We asked you fine people to help us raise $2,000 in 3 days so that we could win a $1,000 bonus. And boy did y'all pull through! $4,860 later, the challenger stuck that bonus check right in the mail! This is a little message straight from Pax to you: Click Here to Watch

Thats right! You guys are the BOMB DIGGITY! 

Now, while that was a crazy awesome way to jump start our fundraising, we still have a little ways to go. If you recall, we have to have $18,000 ready to go with us when they give us the word. (By the way, we should be hearing about when our court date is within the next weekish!!). Plus airfare and hotel fees. As of now we have $6,729, so there's still $14,271 to go. And that, ladies and gentlemen, brings me to my next challenge. While it was issued by the same challenger as the last one, I thought that I should maybe throw in a little something for you. I mean, I personally believe that taking care of orphans and adopting is really delving into some deep, dark spiritual strongholds, so just knowing that your money is helping fight that battle and the reward God has for you is probably more than enough motive for good folk like you. But there's no harm in sweetening the pot a bit with a good ol' music video featuring none other than Jono himself, is there? That's right, people. You heard me correctly. Another one of these gems: Racquetball Boy

You're in, right? What was that? You wanna do whatever it takes to make sure the world  gets some more of this goodness? Well, ok. Here's challenge #2 from Mystery Texter herself. We're looking for 250 people to donate $13 by September 13 to help bring our sweet 13 year old Vitya home! If you meet the challenge, I will personally force J.Lo Supastar to write/produce/star in a brand new music video! And what's better is that when you donate you can enter your suggestion for a song or topic to base the video on. We will choose the most popular request that we get, so get your buds all in on it. (I, personally, would like to see him redo "Boyfriend" by Justin Beiber.)  I mean, could there be a better deal in the WHOLE. ENTIRE. WORLD? For only $13 you get to live out James 1:27, change a fatherless child's life, be an awesome friend, AND birth a YouTube sensation. I know! Your mind is blown, right? It just seems too good to be true. But it's not, doll. This is reality, so let the donations and requests begin. 

In the meantime, I'll get that talented man of mine back on his yoga regimen and drinking that herbal tea for his vocs...you have NO idea the kind of prep one of those productions requires...
