This past Christmas <a href="http://mudpuppy.wordpress.com/2007/12/28/ten-thousand-dollars/" rel="nofollow">we raised $10,000 to build a well in Africa</a> by asking people to spend less on Christmas presents. We only average 250 on a Sunday. It was very inspiring! </p> Really hope you bring this up when you come visit us in June.

I am a good server...NOT a good waiter. When I see/hear of a good/great thing, I think it needs to be implemented ASAP! Not next week, not next month, not NEXT FALL! But I am being taught something...I was all gangbusting to get you to our church on June 1 (also my twins 4th bday) and my church said...we need to wait until the Fall. I am upset and a bit grumpy about it and not sure how to feel...I feel put off...but really, maybe it is because if you came in June, it wouldn’t be the right time for the members of the Church to be open to hearing about Compassion. I know God has a way with things...I just have no patience. So I hear ya...and now, I must sit...and wait...not so much thrilled with the idea… </p> I am not a good waiter.

She works a lot at City of Refuge, a homeless church/shelter in our town, which has been facing a lot of heat for trying to purchase a building which would be by local businesses. We agreed it’s hard to love the rich when they cast down the poor. </p> A friend and I were just talking about this.
