Been busy today

Just spent the last little bit signing cards that will be delivered to the children in the hospital. All of the cards that we send out will be personally signed, no stamped cards for us. These children deserve a little extra attention. Maybe this will help them feel better to know that someone is thinking of them.

We do need more holiday and birthday cards though, so if you have some in your closet and want to get rid of them, please send them to us.

Hope you have a great day.

Book Reviews

Since Pages for Children will be giving away books and cards, we would like to have book reviews on this site. If you have read any books that you would like to share with us, please email the information to us. We will post it under your name. There are a few stipulations though. There cannot be any inappropriate language or scenes it will be taken out. Please remember this site if for children and if we do not feel that children should be reading it, we will change it to where they can. If you're wondering why we're asking for your help in posting reviews the answer is very simple. We understand that not everyone enjoys the same kind of book so to have a variety of different book reviews on here, we thought we'd ask you to give us some. Everyone that works for Pages for Children is a big advocate for reading and we feel that this way, maybe, we can give others a different point of view on various kinds of books.

Reading is a great way to escape. While you may learn something you also get to stretch your mind. Most books are simply the author's answer to a "What if" question that they have. For example, H. G. Wells wrote "What if man could travel through time? What would he find?" It's through science fiction that we have all of the technology that we enjoy today. If people hadn't written their opinion of the answers to the "What if" questions we might not have computers now. So please go out, read a book and tell us what you enjoyed about it. It will be posted on here.

To start, I would like to tell you about the book "The Abyss" by Orson Scott Card. I'm sure that most of you have already seen the movie, but I have just finished the book as well. Usually, you watch a movie and then read the book and you will find them so different that it's almost like two different things. Not in this case. The book followed the movie so much that is was like watching the movie but with a narrator there telling you things that the movie couldn't show. Such as, Why was Coffey like he was? What caused Bud and Lindsay to get married in the first place? Why did Lindsay and Bud choose the careers that they did? Why were the NTI's so interested in us for? These are just a few of the questions that the book answers that the movie can't. The movie can't tell you what these people were thinking as they did something. It can't tell you that the NTI's were watching the crew or how they came to be able to communicate with us. An while I don't usually read the acknowledgements in a book, I did in this one. It was very interesting and informative. Even the ending surprised me some but I won't tell you what happened so maybe you'll read it yourself. I will say this, if you enjoyed the movie, you will probably enjoy the book. It might even make you enjoy the movie more.

I hope you have a great day and God Bless.

Looking for quality links to site

If you are interested in exchanging links with us, please email Pages for Children so we can get the information posted. Please note that this is a site dedicated to children and any site submitted that we do not feel should be seen by children will be refused. We are sorry to have to do that but we strongly feel that children should be protected at all times.

We are now a 501(c)3 Organization

I just received our paperwork from the IRS stating that we have been approved as a non-profit organization. Any and all donations given since January 7, 2009 will be considered tax deductable.

Needless to say this is a great day for us. We have worked hard to make this happen and to tell you the truth, I never thought it would. We will soon be changing our URL to .org. We will continue using the .com address until all of the links have been changed.

We want to thank you for all your support through the years. Because of you, we are now in a position to help more children. We could not have done this without you.

God bless and may you have a great day.

Went to the post office today

We finally was able to mail off the for to make Pages for Children, Inc., a non-profit organization today. We don't know how long it will take for the IRS to complete our request, but as soon as We found out something, I'll be sure to post it here so you'll know also. We hope you just as excited about this as we are. It's something we have been working on for a while and have finally seen our dream realized.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know what was going on. Have a great day and God bless.

The world of fake emails

Over the past several days, I have gotten a few emails from this site trying to sell medication.
Since I didn't send them, I know they did not come from Pages for Children, Inc. If you have had the same thing happen to you. Please know that Pages for Children, Inc. does not send unsolicited emails trying to sell anything. I will be trying to find out how I can stop this, if there is a way. Pages for Children, Inc. values your privacy to much to sell medication through emails, especially since we dont sell medicine. I apologize if you have gotten one of these emails though. Please know that it did not come from here. It's a shame that some people are so money hungry that they will resort to any length to make sale. I do not agree with this practice and will never practice it.

Now on to better news. As of February 3, 2009, I became a great aunt. Alexislynn Isabell Stuart was born, weighing 7 lbs and 6 oz and was 19 inches long. As soon as I get a good picture of here, I will be glad to post it so you can see.

I hope you have a great day and God bless.

Merry Christmas

I pray that everyone that is reading this has a great Christmas. My God bless you and your family with health and happiness.

Well, today I get to go pick up my incorporation papers on Pages for Children, Inc. I don't know how long it will take to get my 501(c)3 number though. I have to take them to an accountant and have him do that part, but at least I'm on my way to having non-profit status. I want to thank everyone that has helped get this done. I could not have done any of this without your help.

Again, Merry Christmas and thank you.
