Day 128 – Today, with some awfully kind donations from good friends, the Pub Politics charity challenge for the Carolina Children’s Home crossed over $3,000. Now we have to pump that number up even higher.
How much should you give to charity? I love this answer by C.S. Lewis:
“I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare. In other words, if our expenditure on comforts, luxuries, amusements, etc., is up to the standard common among those with the same income as our own, we are probably giving away too little. If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say they are too small. There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charitable expenditures exclude them.”
I can’t say that I do that, but I can say that I’m working on it. That’s one reason Phil and I are using our semi-popular show for some good.
Will you donate $10, $20, $50 or whatever you can afford today? If so, please click here now.
