priorities.
see the link on the left? here's the deal.
there will be, hopefully, a lot of interesting topics on this blog upcoming. many things to discover, many things to discuss. some of those topics will be easy and some, i'm sure, will be controversial. however, i will say right now that if you're not doing something about ending the most dire and urgent suffering in the world then please, get your ass in gear.
if you can't get out and make a difference in the world, then get out and make a difference in your community. family homeless shelters need tutors for children, literacy programs need deliverers, parks need to be cleaned, lonely and homebound elderly need visitors.
do something.
do something that has a direct and real impact on the lives of people in need.
if you can't get out and make a difference in your community, then support one of these fantastic organizations: Heifer, Kiva, Oxfam, Echoing Green, or choose from one with an issue you care about. don't know where to look? use JustGive or Guidstar to find an organization.
i repeat, do something. if you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem. which side are you on?
