GREAT REBATE DONATE OF 08′

What if…. we could get a very influential voice in the world to suggest to the American people that we could collectively, in a grass roots effort, use that money to make a HUGE positive change in the world as it sits today.  This does NOT have to be a Democrat or Republican contest. It does not matter what side you are on, or even if you are on a side.

There are an infinite number of worthy causes for funding.  However, our country is in a unique position right now on the world stage.  I propose that a fund could be created to go directly to the Iraqi people who have lost a loved one, a home, a job, as a result of the war.  No strings attached.  Spend as they feel necessary.  Imagine the message that would send to the rest of the world about what Americans are really like.

The economic turn-down we Americans feel now pales in comparison to what it must be like to have your home or town blown to bits, one or more family members or friends slaughtered, a child missing a leg, contaminated water, no job, no hope, whatever.  This could extend beyond Iraq to other war torn areas, but Iraq takes precedence because whether we are right or wrong for being there, we are the ones dishing out the pain.

I know this is a crazy idea that would take organization on a gargantuan scale, but it is possible.  I have attempted to get it out to several groups who have the means to handle something of this magnitude, but with very little luck.  Could it start locally on a small scale?

The seed has been planted and watered.  If God wants it to grow, it will.

Beautiful Sunday – 02/24/08

Sunday, February 24th, was dedicated to going out and bringing beauty to Bellingham. There were a number of groups that formed as well as individuals who found ways to “love on” people and our city in various ways.

Encouraging The Troops

Jacky Sabin:  I helped out with the letter writing and sending packages to soldiers.  I had a few families pick up and lists and take them.  We also had a few families stay and write letters and make cards.  The kids did a really great job making some cards.

This is service we can continue to take part with.  I have a copy of the list of needs and the address.  Lets post it on the website so at any time people can send letters or care packages if they want.

List – Coming Soon

Overwhelming Agape

What an amazing night! I have heard reports already from most of you that are so encouraging. Please send out a short email to “reply all” so that we can all hear what took place.

As for the group we led to the Agape House, we had an amazing experience. About 25 or 30 of us convened there and overwhelmed them (in a good way) a bit at first with such a large group.

They gave us a huge list of cleaning jobs and we accomplished them all for them! We broke into 5 or so teams that cleaned old dirty walls, vacumed, washed windows, knocked down cob webs (matt mcgary rocked this one), changed light bulbs, cleaned out fire places, dusted old window screens etc… It was so great to see families working alongside each other. Kids and parents serving together. It was a really enjoyable time for our whole group and it only took about 1 hr and 15mins to do the whole job.

The Agape house was so blessed! Mosaic kids were cleaning grubby kitchen chairs. Carson fam with Athena and kids washed walls together. Lynna and I went around washing window. My daughter was having so much fun with me.
