Ronald McDonald House Charities
15 Dec 2009I recently met Lauren Fischer, Communications and Special Programs Supervisor for Ronald McDonald House Charities through Twitter.

I had to include them in my Christmas Giving series and am honored that Lauren agreed to guest post and [...]
Giving and Receiving
14 Dec 2009I thought I’d take a quick break from the 12 Days of Christmas Giving series to share a clip from my favorite movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life”. I love this move. The best line is when Annie says, “I was saving this money for a divorce if I ever get married.” Makes me laugh every time [...]

Anyway, I have been reading Adam and Karen Owens’ blogs and following them [...]

The Mentoring Project
10 Dec 2009I learned about Donald Miller’s organization, The Mentoring Project, a few months ago when he spoke at the Lead Now conference. Donald’s demonstration of good stewardship over the notoriety God has blessed him with is inspiring. He has spent the better part of this year on the road promoting his new book, A Million Miles [...]
Children’s HopeChest
9 Dec 2009Children’s HopeChest is one of my all-time favorite organizations. I adore Tom Davis and all he does to bring help, hope, and healing to orphans around the world. His work is especially near and dear to me because I was an orphan and have personally experienced the grace that comes through orphan care ministries.
If you [...]
