What Were We Thinking?

Are we crazy? Did we really think this through? Moving across the country for my husband to plant a church, seemed like an easy transition since we have church family and friends supporting us financially for a little while. It was a total blessing to have a total stranger offer us a house to rent from him at half price. It’s a cute little home and everything was already hooked up so that was nice. We did switch a couple of things like our internet provider and cable company. I did a quick search to see if there were any better and newer deals out there for us since the owner has had everything set up for several years. I thought we could probably get better deals than what we were paying monthly and after I came across http://www.satelliteinternetbroadband.com/hughesnet/North-Carolina/T/Taylorsville/, I realized I was right. I checked with the owners to make sure they wouldn’t mind if we switched and they didn’t. It was nice to only have a few things to take care of instead of a laundry list of things to do, which is usually the case when moving!

I often hear ads on the radio or television about car donation. One organization, CarAngels.com has a donate car option for their charity. CarAngels.com is a non-profit organization that makes Christian videos for kids and teens. They rely on car donations and monetary donations to make the videos. These videos are given to the children for free and teach basic Christian values. CarAngels.com has given away over 2.4 million videos! Here is a sample of the one of the videos that they have produced:

USA Freedom Corps

The USA Freedom Corps was organized after September 11th “to build on the countless acts of service, sacrifice, and generosity that followed.” It was announced by President Bush in his 2002 State of the Union Address. After the disaster following Hurricane Katrina, Freedom Corps volunteers helped with the relief effort by delivering food, medical supplies, water and other necessities.

If you want to find a volunteer opportunity, the web page provides a search function to put you in touch with an effort that needs volunteers.

Adding a little service to others in our lives makes our community stronger and makes us better people.
