For the next week or so, I will still be the newest member of the St. Michael’s Parish staff. Being a newbie, I do everything I am told to do. Peter told me it was my turn to write the ‘blog’.
Hmmm. Blog? I will act in-the-know and read what everyone has posted thus far. Staff members have written some really great blogs!! I will follow suit and write my ‘blog’. I pondered and pondered for an interesting topic. I asked the Holy Spirit to give me something people would want to read. Then it hit me. Are they reading the blogs? Am I going to stretch my creative writing skills for the sake of filling space and keeping the blog current? In reality am I writing this hoping someone will read it verses knowing that someone will read it (besides Peter)? So I decided to make a wager to raise awareness to this blog. For every person that emails me and says they read my blog, I will donate $1.00 to my daughter’s charity, ‘Limbs for Life’. She is currently working in the Tijuana canal connecting homeless men and women with prosthetics (there’s a great story there….saving it for my next turn at the ‘blog’). Send me a note to aliceb@stmichaelschurch-poway.org let me know you read this and I will donate $1.00 to the cause. How much do you think this is going to cost me? Stay tuned and I will let you know.
Hi Alice,
ReplyDeleteYou're off to a great start. Great blog post!
As I read this I thought what an awesome way to get the ball rolling, I'm thrilled to be part of a donation campaign that contributes to such a worthy cause.
Hope you get tons of readers :-)
