PLEASE READ Julia

Dear Julia:

 

 I know you have donated Julia, both to help Chrism, and to help pay for his

trip, so you are not one who ignores helping.  When I wrote that my post had

been ignored I meant in regard to how many people are regularly donating. The

issue first became important to me when thanked donors at the end of one

month and there were so few.  That's when I decided to begin posting on this

issue.  It did help some, because the next month he thanked more people, but

still there were far less than are actively participating on this  website. 

When I saw how many people went to see the movie Avatar, I realized that those

people could also probably send an equivalent amount to help Chrism, but it just

hadn't occurred to them to do so.  This got me to thinking  about my own

spending and ways I could donate more to help.

 

I also meant that no one was willing to dialogue about the topic with me to

generate ideas about how each of us could help and why many of us seem

unmotivated to do so.  I do understand the economic times are hard; we are also

affected as we use 1/3 of our income to support our son and thus don't have the

funds to pay all the monthly bills without going into debt.  But none the less,

I

feel a sense of joy in being able to make my gratitude  more than just words. 

Words are important, but  there needs to be a balance:  gives all;  I

need to give something too.

 

Good and appropriate question Julia, thank you for taking the time to respond. 

And by the way, I am loving your impressions of JOG and your trip.  I agree with

you as to the issue of ritual and discipline as you stated to Stephen..

 

My love for you grows with every post you write.

 

Diane
