We hear the bleak reports of economic down turns, flooding in rural areas, war ravaged countries with 250,000 displaced persons, extreme poverty, hunger on the streets of this country as well as throughout the world. Depressing. Put your fingers in your ears and say La La La La La. Avoidance won't make these realities go away. You just get to pretend that in your little world everything is fine and you are in control.
You must be the change you wish to see in the world. Wise words to ponder. What can one person do you ask? One can actually do a lot. Especially when one tells another, who tells another, who tells another, and they all take action.
I want to tell you about one such person. Tim is taking action. You can too. Fast and give. One meal, one day. June 1st, 2009. You choose the organization to donate the money you would have spent on that one meal. But if you tell another, who tells another, who tells another, well you get the idea. Tim is asking us to tweet this on Twitter. If you tweet do that. If you're not on twitter tell your friends the old fashioned way! But any one of us can help make a difference by fasting that one meal, one day and donating to the suggested organizations that Tim mentions on his blog.
You must be the change you want to see in the world. Take action.
