It's a Long Story: No-Spending Days
http://heylongs.blogspot.com/2010/09/no-spending-days.html
Wednesday, September 29, 2010. My challenge to my family and yours is this:. Go 4 days a week without spending any money. A small sacrifice that has the potential to keep a few extra buckaroos from disappearing. So proud of you guys! When God opens your eyes to the reality of most of the world population, it is SO much easier to see new clothing and daily meat as the luxuries those things truly are. Were working on moving that knowledge into action into our lives. Its a long process . . .

It's a Long Story: Sons and Sheep and Coins...Oh My!
http://heylongs.blogspot.com/2010/11/sons-and-sheep-and-coinsoh-my.html
Thursday, November 4, 2010. Sons and Sheep and Coins.Oh My! I mean, I have been in youth groups where no one would show up for that night. What? No advice on dating or how to make more friends? Will they wonder why they always have to hear Mommy and Daddy talk about and pray for money to get their sister home? Will they be jealous of the time we spend filling out paperwork and fundraising and packing to leave? Will the time ever come when they ask, "Why is everything all about getting this girl here?

It's a Long Story: Are we CRAZZZZYYY??
http://heylongs.blogspot.com/2010/10/are-we-crazzzzyyy.html
Wednesday, October 27, 2010. And then it hit me. Or maybe He hit me. First of all, did I think that I needed a sign from God to bring an orphan into my home? The sky needed to split open or something? The Holy Spirit brought to my mind verse after verse where the Lord says, in essense, TAKE CARE OF ORPHANS! And just offer what we have. If they didn't feel like it could work, at least we had been faithful. Why am I always surprised when God answers prayers? 1)Adopting. In the words of one kind strange...

Monday, October 25, 2010. Just Call Me Billy Mayes. I interrupt this blog (that has been slightly neglected lately) to bring you an excellent opportunity! I know you have been sitting around wondering, "How can I help those crazy Long's raise the $3200 that they need, like, now for their adoption? How awesome is that? First up we have the super cool, beautiful, and unique Ugandan magazine necklaces. Next, we got lots of shirts. And not just any shirts. These babies raise awareness about the 147 m...See t...

It's a Long Story: Dear, Women...Love, Titus
http://heylongs.blogspot.com/2010/10/dear-womenlove-titus.html
Sunday, October 3, 2010. Dear, Women.Love, Titus. Something that I hope that my girls "get" (even before they are adults) is the importance of the command in Titus 2:3-5:. Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.". The lie that y...

It's a Long Story: July 2010
http://heylongs.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 7, 2010. Or where it’s the cheapest or fastest to adopt from? Yeah, that all sounds pretty self-serving and disgusting, right? Before we had found out that the little Brazilian girls were out of the question, we had discovered an adoption agency called One World Adoptions. That’s super crazy after having followed several of our friends adoptions from the Ukraine, Russia, and Brazil that took over a year. That’s not even the length of a pregnancy!
