In my youth group today,my pastor got all psyched up about this charity,called 'Toms Shoes'.It looked cool,and was really sweet.Look it up if you have the time.
But she started saying how if you have an idea,or a cool plan,that maybe it was put in your head for a purpose.
so this got me thinking along the lines of this idea I had two or three years ago,but I was always too non-commital to start.
At a table,donaters get an envelope,and fill out a form listing their name,phone number,and the name of a book that they think is special,or good,or particularly meaningful to them.After that,they fill out a letter explaining to the soldiers(That's who it's for,BTW.
)why they think this book is something that they think they'll like,and some words of encouragement.
We take all the money,buy the books,and write down the respective letter into the books cover and send it to the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
What do you think?
I'm depending on my sister to keep me going,because enthusiasm is something I severely lack.
