We never know how far the effects of our service will reach. We can
never afford to be cruel or indifferent or ungenerous, because we are
all connected, even if it is in a pattern that only God sees.

For LDS readers -
A way to donate just a little and make a big difference This is not
from anyone official in the church, but I think it is a great idea, so
I thought I'd pass it along. If you can participate that would be
great, but if not, that's okay too!
If only 1/3 of all church members paid an extra 5 dollars this month
(just once) along with their tithing and fast offering, by putting 1
dollar into each of the 5 "extra" areas of the tithing slip, then the
church would get about 4 million dollars into the general missionary
fund, 4 million for the Book of Mormon fund, 4 million for the
Humanitarian fun, 4 million for temple construction and 4 mil for the
perpetual education fund!

With all I have been hearing about charity scams and the amont of
money the telephone soliciters keep when you donate through them, this
makes wonderful sense as a way to make sure our little bit really
helps people who need it. B
