SUPER PAL UNIVERSE winners of latest C4C Fundation Grant: Create an enviromental Superhero!
July 08, 2008
will announce the winners in the next few weeks. All the submissions were created by kids! It was fun putting the DVDs into the player, and seeing what
had been submitted. Some was very basic, some was very complex. Some were silly, some were sweet, some were downright hilarious. But they all talked about
what "super heroes" can do to make the world a cleaner, healthier place.
The winner is INCREDIBLE. I can't tell you about specifics yet because it will give away who the winner is...and I think we will have two
others for 2nd and 3rd place because there were so many submissions this time, but here is some of what we
watched:
Two Green screened pieces by a 10 year old (?) and his 8 (?) year old brother each in which they become a super heroes. Pretty ding-dang funny
and they included a lot of vital info about carbon dioxide and recycling...
A CLAYMATION piece about a guy (looking very Mr. Bill) who doesn't recycle, and what happens because of his choice. Really well thought out, funny and a great example of what a kid with time on his hands can create!
An entire class nominating their teacher for his super heroic efforts to clean up a giant mess behind their school and how they all turned it into a community sanctuary for animals, plants and
children. It is now attracting endangered species, and the kids give other kids tours!
One high school submitted SIX different films by teens!
A six year old boy wrote a song about how he could change the world by not littering.
We had several comic book submissions. One was heavily influenced by a manga style, and really beautifully drawn. A mom asked that her daughter have her submission returned because she hadn't finished coloring it in yet. That was pretty cute!
Our first submission from out of state---all the way from California!
Thanks to EVERYONE who sent in submissions. It was an honor to see all your hard work and creativity!

Rachel To Sergeant Sam Cox at KLBJ radio…
July 07, 2008
Dear Sergeant Sam-
I have listened to your show for years. Sometimes I agree with you, sometimes I don't…but never have I been so concerned about something you have said.
Please prayerfully consider the following scripture reference:
"Then the King will say to those on the right, `Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.' Then these righteous ones will reply, `Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?' And the King will tell them, `I assure you, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!'" (Matthew 25:34-40).
So, you see, by denying people who are homeless the loving shelter of a Church, a warm meal or even a drink, you are denying Christ himself. Christians are called by God through his scriptures to do the very thing you denounce.
I hope, as a man who calls himself a Christian, you will reconsider your viewpoint on inviting homeless people into our churches. In my opinion, it's not about a feeling or fear…it's about being directed by God to care for "the least."
Sincerely,
Rachel Clampffer

To Sgt. Sam…A letter from Jon
I know those who you speak of and have worked in many ways over the
years trying to understand how we can address the homeless
population. i would reiterate the invitation to attend or serve at
either of the Foundation for the Homeless events, the breakfast on T/
Th or the Interfaith Hospitality Networks stay with us. Do you know
the numbers of homeless that are children? Maybe to you these
children are vermin, but to the Christ you speak of, we are all
children who should care for Creation.
Please do feel free to call or contact me personally if i may be of
service. As a past volunteer coordinator for IHN i would love a
chance to show you around our facility and introduce you to the face
of Christ, the many volunteers who give weekly their service for
their brothers and sisters in need.
sincerely,
and as a listener,
Jon Sullivan
