I know...

I know that I promised a charity a day, but I'm falling behind and haven't been able to keep up. Maybe, I should've made this promise after I found 25 charities!

Anyway, I took a Christian Test and thought I'd post the results here:

Blessings!

The Babe in Christ You scored 48% fear of God and 56% love of God!

You have developed a reasonable sense of love and fear of God. You also have a decent grasp of Christian principles and a solid understanding of what God is all about. Most likely, you have just recently (within the last few years) decided to get serious about God and truly accept him as your lord and savior. If not, you may just be a Christian with delayed spiritual development. You have given up a few things to get closer to God and you have made a significant amount of progress in this area. For example, your friends can clearly see a marked difference between you and non-believers. However, you realize that this noticeable difference is just the beginning. Your goal is to be Christ like and you realize that you have a lot of growing to do before people will be able to look at you and see Christ. Of course, you can never be equal to Jesus, but it's possible to get very close. With prayer, determination, and sacrifice you will eventually achieve your goals. May God bless you and thanks for taking this test.

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 0% on fear of God You scored higher than 0% on love of God

Best Friends

Best Friends Animal Society is more than just a non-kill shelter. They take care of the animals no one wants.

From their website:

"Best Friends is working with you and with humane groups all across the country to bring about a time when homeless, unwanted animals are no longer being destroyed in shelters, and when every healthy dog or cat can be guaranteed a good life in a caring home.Best Friends provides information, assistance, and training to people and grassroots groups who are looking to create no-kill communities. "

Check them out and help them give these animals a second chance.

One: The campaign to make poverty history

From their website:

"WE BELIEVE that in the best American tradition of helping others help themselves, now is the time to join with other countries in a historic pact for compassion and justice to help the poorest people of the world overcome AIDS and extreme poverty. WE RECOGNIZE that a pact including such measures as fair trade, debt relief, fighting corruption and directing additional resources for basic needs - education, health, clean water, food, and care for orphans - would transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation in the poorest countries, at a cost equal to just one percent more of the US budget. WE COMMIT ourselves - one person, one voice, one vote at a time - to make a better, safer world for all."

The Farley Foundation

Here's what the Farley Foundation is all about (taken from their website):

"It's every pet owner's worst nightmare. A beloved pet needs veterinary care, but the owner can't afford treatment. For many seniors and people with disabilities, this scenario is a sad reality.

That's where the Farley Foundation steps in.

The Farley Foundation helps sick and injured pets that belong to low-income seniors and people with disabilities.

The Foundation offers financial assistance to veterinary clinics in Ontario to help cover the cost of providing necessary veterinary care for pets belonging to seniors receiving the Federal Guaranteed Income Supplement or people with disabilities who receive the Ontario Disability Support Payment, and who cannot otherwise afford treatment for their pets."

Isn't that a worthwhile cause?

Cole Hein

"Cole Hein has an undiagnosed illness that can make him stop breathing and possbily lead to his death! Cure4Cole.com is part of an international effort with the help from Lamar Outdoor advertising to find anyone with information that could help save Cole's life!"

Go to the website, read the story. There's no asking for money, just asking if you can help find a diagnosis. If you're a doctor or know one or a nurse or anyone that might have an idea, please help. If you have your own website, please post about Cole on your site. Someone, somewhere should know what's causing this.

They are asking for cards:

"Please feel free to write Cole some happy mail and let him know you were by his website. Please DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY! We are hoping to break the world's record for cards recieved (another way to get the word out about Cole)
Po Box 4096
Redwood Postal Outlet

BTW, anything in quotes is directly from the site.

Save the Children

Today is World Aids Day, so in honor of it, I have decided today's charity is Save the Children.
From their website:

"Save the Children recognizes the inextricable link between the wellbeing and survival of mothers and that of their children. Research has consistently shown that when mothers have health care, education and economic opportunities, both they and their children have the best chance to survive and thrive."

Save the Children works to provide all types of care for children and families, all over the globe.

Won't you help them, just a little?

Blessings.

Rosa Parks

Fifty years ago, Rosa Parks refused to move to the back of the bus. Fifty years ago, this small woman, by remaining seated, took a stand for human rights everywhere.

Please, no matter what your race, creed, religion, sexual orientation, take the time today to remember Rosa Parks. Let's try to walk in her footsteps, showing us to not stop until everyone is treated with the respect and dignity that human beings deserve.

God Bless
