well, I made a little mistake. I didn't end up giving $1097 in 2011. I let 2011 slip by without realize I need to actually GIVE that money in 2011 to get the doubled amount from Tyndale. I was so focused on typing the money in here until the last minute, that I didn't think about donating that last amount. So, I got $800 donated in 2011, therefore, Tyndale will donate $800 too. And, all is not lost, if Tyndale does it again for this year, then I can get the rest of it doubled :)
On to 2012.
I'm not sure if I'll continue blogging. But I did want to write this in here. So it's out there and perhaps more likely to happen.
I've been thinking about starting a women's Christian book club in my neighborhood. We could start with "Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire", move on to "Radical" and so many more good Christian books. The question is, how do I go about inviting my neighbors who I don't know. Do I put letters at their doors. Do I walk around knocking on doors. Do I put a flier out at a local establishment? And will anyone respond? Or, should I find out if there's a way to do it online. or, is anyone already doing it in the area, which, again, I could find out online.
help?
my 2011 GOAL is to donate to Feed My Starving Children by giving up the unnecessary luxuries in my life. Example, going out to eat less, less Starbucks, and less everything else. Every time I would have purchased something I don't really need, I'll give that money instead. And doing this blog will really help to hold me accountable. $1 donated to FeedMyStarvingChildren=4 meals (3.917 to be exact)

$6
no starbucks and no jimmy johns (but brought something more expensive than peanut butter and jelly).
We had our "Radical" book club at work today (chapt 4). As always, it was a great discussion. Very challenging regarding the American Dream, our desire for more stuff, and how much we help those in need.
