Linked... by faith!

I snapped this picture of Caleb & John while we were watching one of the mini-skits at Caleb's 'Medieval Celebration' at MSE in May.  (Maybe you saw the other pictures on FaceBook J)

I love this picture for many reasons...  1) even though they are guys who are rough and tough- they aren't afraid to hold hands in public, 2) Caleb loves his Dad and his Dad loves him, 3) they are wearing bracelets that our friend, Eli, made - Caleb told Eli about us moving to Haiti a couple of months ago at church (LifeBridge Church, to be exact... the coolest church in the land) and he asked him to make some for our family... notice the colors.... while we are not Ole Miss fans (we pull for the MSU Dawgs all the way!), Caleb asked Eli to make his and John's bracelets in red & blue cause he liked the colors...  against their skin they're red, 'white', and blue!  I think it's really cool that while we are in Haiti we will have lots of reminders of home but awesome to have USA colors that remind us that people are praying for us in the states!  And guess what?!?  Eli since decided to make "By Faith" prayer bracelets to sell....

...and that's not all...... he wants to donate his earnings to the Chappelear Haiti Fund!  How cool is that?!?!?  We are so honored to have friends that are using their talents to help us follow our call.  Thanks, Eli, for giving so sacrificially!

If you'd like one of these cool bracelets, Eli will be selling them throughout the summer for $7 each.  He will have some at the Barbeque Benefit, as well!  (For information on the BBQ, see We love our T-shirts.)
