last night meliss took us [chad, liz, rebecca & me] to a christmas pageant concert. i really only love sara groves, but was excited to hear all the bands, especially since it was gonna be christmas music.
the concert was really sweet as was the video presentation they showed between acts. it was about blood:water mission, which i had only heard about for the first time at dinner 45 minutes before the concert.
sometimes i get annoyed because i feel like giving to africa has become trendy in the past few years. there have been multiple movies made, AIDS is all of a sudden getting attention, and there are other continents who have gigantic financial need too. however, melissa pointed out that just bc it's trendy doesn't mean that it's not still a valid [and significant] need. the issue is legitimate. donations are needed. i have a great job, no house, no dependents, and plenty of reasons to be thankful. it would be foolish to NOT give to this organization simply bc i turn up my nose at popular trends.
i'm currently downloading some free christmas music from blood:water mission's website. in order to get the songs, you can 1. give a donation of any amount, or 2. recommend the download to 5 other people [thus spreading the word about blood:water mission]. so cool!
