Her child is on full scholarship and now needs help with lunches. It's going to be hard (and expensive!) to work here! I will not let little children starve!Red Letter girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10382958422461385696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29007952.post-1161362044991920372006-10-20T09:34:00.000-07:002006-10-20T09:34:00.000-07:00I think that it is the funniest thing ever - that ...I think that it is the funniest thing ever - that on your blog about the poor and living simply so others can simple live - (you did not say this - but I love the phrase) you got hit by a spam on making some extra cash - now that could be in a song (ironic) please leave it. I say we have a giant garage sell - sell our extra's so some can have...we could start a pool of funds to help folks - or take a trip to HaiwaiiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29007952.post-1161308059406574592006-10-19T18:34:00.000-07:002006-10-19T18:34:00.000-07:00Here is a life lesson taught to me by our father t...Here is a life lesson taught to me by our father that has stayed with me always:<BR/>Dad and I were pulling out of a parking lot in Southern California. A man stood with a sign that said, "Will work for food." Dad rolled down the window and handed him $5. I, in my 13 year old wisdom, pondered this for all of about two seconds when I questioned my dad, "Why did you give hime money if he's just going to go buy alcohol?" Dad said, "Jesus commands us to give, not to judge." It is so simple and so true. So give freely and without abandon. Thanks Dad for the great and lasting lesson!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29007952.post-1161272784674658042006-10-19T08:46:00.000-07:002006-10-19T08:46:00.000-07:00You go girl! I agree wholeheartedly...the tension ...You go girl! I agree wholeheartedly...the tension I have is that I really enjoyed my steak last night...so where is the balance. I guess for now, the tension is where I'm living. And looking for places where I can help, even a little bit. It is so hard to get over myself and my needs to see others needs. Last Easter when Mark suggested we invite a homeless man he was working with to dinner, my first reaction was not loving. All I could think about was my uncomfortableness (is that a word?) What would I say to him, etc? But we had him over and it was great, the earth didn't spin backwards or anything...:)TheologyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07235267061339062176noreply@blogger.com
