On The Lighter Side

January 25, 2008

Time to blog has been at a premium of late. So hopefully these will put a smile on your face.

A young boy was riding to Bible Study with me a while back and remarked that all of the cars his family had owned, as far back as he could remember, had hand cranks for the windows. Well thanks to my Bud Bill Carlisle, here is a solution to that problem. 

Got a pesky squirrel problem…just relocate them.

And what would a day of funny videos be with out a friendly poke at Hillary. This is not new, but still funny.

Have a great day…and be sure to vote!

The Executive Committee of Arewa Aid is happy to announce the appointment of Lee Hodges of Hendersonville, Tennessee as Development Officer beginning January 1, 2008. Lee has been a minister for 30 years, and became interested in the mission of Arewa Aid through his meeting with Dr. Bradley Dean Blake, the founder of Arewa Aid.

Mr. Hodges primary responsibility will be to foster the relationship between Arewa Aid and it’s supporters, and create new relationships with interested churches, individuals and businesses that are interested in supporting humanitarian work in Northern Nigeria.

Lee has extensive experience in missions through his work with many churches of Christ in Michigan, Tennessee and Pennsylvania, including developing programs within churches to teach mission preparation.

Board Member John Mark Hicks expressed his gratitude to Mr. Hodges, stating, “I am so pleased that Lee has chosen to work with us. His reputation and work ethic will allow Arewa Aid to continue to grow while Dr. Blake and his wife Jen continue their work in Nigeria. We are truly excited to appoint someone to continue the development of Arewa Aid here in the United States, while the work continues to expand in Maiduguri, Nigeria”.
