Julie, I could write that story sometime if you’d like.  I’ve met a couple dozen LDP former LDP students and heard their stories.

I’ve written a lot lately about sharing and Christian generosity, and I love it when I see local examples. This is a great one! We need to see more people changing spending habits, living on less, and declaring that we refuse to keep up with the Joneses until every kid in poverty is sponsored. Unfortunately I haven’t heard your music, Shaun, but you’re famous in my mind for doing small things with great love. Keep it up. </p> <p> I also love the idea of sponsoring someone with the money freed up when one debt is paid off. Or, for those of us who will be getting a several hundred dollar tax cut, why not consider using that money to sponsor a child? Let’s be creative, compassionate, and bold in finding new ways to love our neighbors. </p> Right on.
