It's that time of year again.
Christmas on the Moon is less than 4 days away. It's something that we (and by we, I mean Dean and Matthew) have been preparing for for months. I had band practice number 2 tonight and I'm completey exhausted. I also had a lunch date, a 1:45 doctor's appointment, and 5 piano lessons beginning at 3. Then I rushed off to eat dinner and head to practice. Aaaaah. It's good to be getting ready for bed.
Last year our church decided to help out with the water crisis in Rwanda and raise money to build a clean water well. The goal was $7,000 for one well. We raised over $13,000. In one night. This year we're stepping it up a notch. We want to raise $100,000 to build lots of clean water wells in places where they can't just turn on the faucet, gargle, and spit. Every drop is precious. So we'll take our initial collection on Sunday night. And then there will be a benefit dinner in the spring. Watch for details.
Our family is cutting back on Christmas gifts this year so that we can give more for the wells. I would encourage you to do the same. Check out the website here.
Spend less, give more.
