Backwards Day

ByMatt Todd

Yesterday was ‘Backwards Day’ at the kids’ school. If they gave $.50 to the United Way, they got to wear their clothes backwards the rest of the day. They have different events the rest of the week to encourage kids to continue to contribute the rest of the week. It’s almost like Spirit Week before Homecoming. Instead of just showing school ‘spirit,’ they’re contributing to a greater cause. I think that’s pretty cool.

Howdy. I'm Matt. My wife, Christy, and I have four kids and two dogs, I'm passionate about orphan care. I'm a die-hard fan of the Evansville Aces, the Indiana Hoosiers, and Star Wars. I'm trying to live life by the Todd family motto: "It behooves us to live!"

    Apparently, Muncie, Indiana is the hub of international activity this weekend.  The people in the hotel room next-door to us obviously speak Spanish (they’re probably from Guatemala).  Down the hall, several rooms have Australian flags posted on their doors.  There’s also another door that has a flag from the Czech Republic.  I’ve also seen some men…

    I guess I was spoiled as a child. Of course, I didn’t realize it at the time – but who does when they’re in the middle of being spoiled? Every Thanksgiving, my Grandpa would buy tickets to the Hadi Shrine Circus. I didn’t realize how special that was until I experienced other circuses. I had…

  • A nifty little town

    ByMatt Todd

    I’ve decided that Jonesborough, TN is the coolest town in the world! OK, that might be slight hyperbole, but it’s a really great little town. Almost every Friday night in the summer, there’s a free concert on the courthouse steps. Even if you don’t like the musicians, you can’t pass up the city market and…

  • Black Cat

    ByMatt Todd

    After all was said and done tonight and everything was put away, I walked outside of the church building and was greeted by a black cat.  Said cat walked across the street and sat on our porch. I had to run back over to my office for a minute and there was the cat.  Just…

  • Our trip to the Indiana State Fair

    ByMatt Todd

    Thanks to the good folks at Indy with Kids, we were given free tickets to this year’s State Fair. It’s a good thing, too. We had already decided that family economics were going to prevent us from purchasing tickets this year. There was much disappointment with that realization. Until Indy with Kids swooped in and saved…

    I realize I haven’t really posted much that isn’t sports or Christmas related in a while. Sorry. Not much going on. The kids are back in school and loving it. Christy’s back in school and starts her student teaching tomorrow, which makes all of the classwork she’s done finally worth it. Church is going well….
