Fundraising for the Poor

Sometimes I send money to, "Feed the Children" or "World Vision". I get a lot of letters from them as soon as I send a donation. Sometimes I put the letters on my kitchen table to save them until I have the money to send. Sometimes there are just too many letters to keep.

I asked one of the organizations how I could start my own organization in helping the poor. One of the organizations told me that it would not be easy. Well, I thank God that we do have some organizations to send money to at least. If I could, I would fundraise for the poor. The only thing that I know to do is to save and give from my own money, because it's not easy just like a particular organization told me. People are careful with their money and afraid it will not get to the poor. Well, they should be, but always think of the poor.

Angry Tornadoes

For the first time in real life, I have seen some great damage that an angry tornado left behind. I have seen twisted trees with their tops broken out. I have seen houses with broken windows and vinyl siding ripped off. I have even seen damage of brick homes and smashed cars. Tornadoes seem  more angry this year and are moving closer to my home. I think God is moving his hand away from people in protection. I think he is very angry and trying to tell us that he is by allowing bad things to happen. People are not listening to him and some are not even praying. It is a bad thing to have to see anger through tornado disasters.

Saving Old Clothes for the Poor

Sometimes you might think about all of the clothes that you have not worn over two or three years. You might want to make more room for new clothes and get rid of the old clothes. You might even have shoes and hats. People are picky these days. Some people don't like hand-me-downs. I remember wearing hand-me-down clothes when I was a teenager. They were nice clothes. It's harder to get rid of things when you cannot give them away. A long time ago, the garbage man took clothes for the Salvation Army. You didn't have to run around to get rid of clothes where I come from. Now, the garbage man don't even take them anymore.  If you just can't get rid of your old clothes, always remember the poor. Somebody will be glad to get those old clothes.

Eating Dinner in the Churches

I think that it is alright for the church to eat dinner after church. Some folks brag about the meals they cook at church and talk about the wonderful time that they have. There is only one thing that I never hear church folks say. I never hear them mention that they invited the poor.

Read About the Cookie Twins

It was a year of war and things were very hard. The cost of labor was going down, angry mobs were in the streets, people were stealing and killing, people were sleeping in cardboard boxes, some sat by cooking fires covered with heavy blankets and quilts,people were out of jobs, and even rich people were not getting paid enough. Dreams were turned into nightmares. Many women were crying over their sons because some of them were drafted to fight in the war. Preachers preached and thoughts of Jesus gave some people a little faith. Many people were praying, but some people stopped praying. Some died because their hearts were broken. Some felt that they had nothing to live for because the world had nothing to offer. It was a great depression. Read More....

The tent city that I saw reminded me of a flea mall. According to PBS, there was more competition than before the earthquake
