Badge

Some people have asked lately how they can add a badge to their blog

You can do that by copying and pasting the following html code...

<div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://www.gobena.org"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vXmBIRAdkUoFjBHRc4tTcHrF_a5zYfjcG39th_DTz12d19RFlAiy68xLEKxW4j7fBBn3fja4FWZsT56-gxwNb4w_krNZe_kL1ra_0lSIHGZT_3W2YCFtgujfni65Be2ODP8QAqo3UWR5NCcNFuuoJd5xQtNYv-ybCCY3y295Ql2A=s0-d"></a><br/> <span style="font-size:100%;"><a href="http://www.gobena.org"></a></span><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Gobena</span>.org</div>thanks for all your support in Gobena!!!!!!

Gobena needs you

OK, we need HELP...we are trying to spread the word about Gobena. So far it is going pretty good, but could always do better. Anyway, our goal is to fully support a group home in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This group home will have house parents and seven or so children. The cost to fully support this would be around $12,000 a year, that covers everything food, education, housing etc. So hopefully Gobena can get there someday. Here's where you can help....other than buying Gobena coffee we are in need of someone to help with a website. Of course we have a website, but we would like it to be a little more professional and since 100% of the profits goes towards orphans the funding is tight. So if this is what you do or know someone that does we could and would love your help. Thanks to all our Gobena customers you truly can and are making a difference in the lives of children throughout the world.

P.S we will soon have pictures of the group home in Addis, stay tuned.

MOVING

Ok here is the deal..... For awhile now Steve and i have thought about moving, mostly do to the fact that Steve works in Morton and has been making the drive for eight years now. So we prayed about it, put our house on the market, decided to stay so took it off the market. One night Steve and i were talking and he said that he really felt like moving would be the best thing for us ....the very next day...the first call of the morning was a man and his wife interested in our house and they had happened to look at it a year ago and was interested again...needless to say they bought it. We had listed it on CIFSBO and never taken it off from the last time we put it on the market. We were receiving calls but saying that it was no longer available, this couple happened to be one that had called before and then called back to make sure. So we are packing our bags and moving to MO-Town!!! Y'all come visit ya hear!!!!!

Mo-Town

After Steve has spent 2,392 hrs driving in his , over the last eight years, we have decided to make the move to Mo-Town Down aka Morton, IL. Our house has sold, and we have to be out in about 6 weeks. Bloomington, you will be missed. Mo-Town, look out, the Lehmans are coming.
