All men should strive to learn before they die what they are running from, and to, and why.

Baby blog.....helping the homeless

It's official - I am NOT a blogger.  I think about it often, think I'll get around to it.  But until I graduate I can't focus on anything consistently except work and studying.  So this is my "baby blog" for the month of November.  Maybe I'll post a "big blog" rather than a "baby blog" after December 11th.

My heart hurts, yet it is full.  I had the amazing privilege tonight of witnessing the kindness of the human spirit and grace of God.  PC Athens students who are in Sigma Alpha Pi cooked tons of food and then served it to the homeless at the Athens Area Winter Shelter tonight.  My eyes have been opened.  My heart is open again, and I am so very thankful for each of these students, their generosity, their spirits, and I am equally thankful for the ministry working so hard DAILY to feed & provide shelter for the homeless.

I am making plans to run a 1/2 marathon next November in Savannah.  I now know who I will be raising money for - cancer research AND the Winter Shelter in Athens.  Gonna have to find out from my sister & a friend how to set this up so people can start giving --- for both causes.

OK so goodnight, sleep tight, and hopefully you DO NOT have bed bugs and they will NOT bite!

p.s.  Enjoy this picture of THE cutest grandchild on earth in his amazing Halloween costume.

  1. Lynn,
    I'm sure your sisters have more experience with it, but I used this web site called Your Cause. It didn't cost any money to set it up and I can verify that Southern Cross did receive the funds donated on it--not a hoax. I think they skim like 2% off the top maybe? It worked for me, though, because people could use credit cards that way.
