Giving

Posted in Finance at 2:05 PM by Jeff

Even though the Christmas season has passed, the giving does not have to end. It seems like a good time to recap on 2007 and see what I have done for others. What difference did I make in the lives of others last year? To start that off, I found myself recounting the donations that I have made.

My giving for the year 2007 includes: tithing, a donation to Campus Crusade for Christ, donating my excess computer power to Folding@Home to do medical research, and donating my old clothes and belongings to various charities.   By making these donations I am also receiving many things.

I receive so much joy by helping others.  The people who received my old clothes and toys truly needed them.  It gives me great joy to know that my money and computer power can positively affect the lives of strangers around the world.
