Biggest Need

MONEY

It's not glamorous. It's not pretty. It's not fun. It's not creative. It's not ingenious. It's not smart. It's not comical.

It is endearing. It is powerful. It is helpful. It is necessary. It is provision. It is humbling. It is impactful. It is peace-providing.

Soccer Starts

Dempsey had his first Youth Kicks game of the 2017 season this morning. Bright and early at 8am. Clearly, you can see his uniform hasn't arrived (the jersey peeps shorted the league about a dozen... accidents happen, right?). No jersey? No problem! He's still rocking a cancer-fighting shirt and an 80's hairstyle. You know you love the curly red head fro!



Here Dempsey is getting a few goalie tips from our friend Ezra. Those tips must've worked because the opposing team didn't score on this goalie.


Go Dempsey, Go! Go, go, GO!


Sweet little post-game treat. Dempsey did not partake. Y'all know he needs to watch his "sugar and salt". Also, we're celebrating his 6th birthday some more this afternoon and he's having CAKE.

TAKE THAT, LEUKEMIA!!!
