So that wonderful time of year is finally here and I have always wondered why exactly this holiday to celebrate the Messiah coming to earth has turned into this red and green fat white man giving gift holiday. Now I think that it is so fun and I really do love this time of year and everything, but I just think it is funny how everything has turned into the complete opposite of what Christmas is supposed to. My pastor last Sunday made a really cool suggestion, instead of buying gifts for certain, to donate that money that you were going to spend on the gift to give it away on a charity. The one suggested for our church was the Raincatchers organization, now I have been involved with Raincatchers for quite some time now through my mother, and the money that would be donated would greatly help with getting one of the most basic necessities to people. Water. Now think, if we couldn't go to the bathroom and flush and wash our hands with the few pulls or turns on a handle what would we americans do? Probably freak, I mean I am sure that I would, but these Hatians live like this daily, and some people who we haven't provided a Raincatcher to yet have about a ten mile round trip just for semi-clean water, so maybe we all should just give up giving a gift to one person, and give that money to provide the gift of life for someone.
God Bless
