Feed the World Through a Game

I found this through Robin today. You play a word game and for every word you get right, they donate 20 grains of rice through the United Nations. They partner with poverty.com.

Now 20 grains may not be very much, but if a lot of people start playing, that could add up to a lot of rice.

Need a five minute break from work? You know what to do.

Heather Jamison Interview

I had the opportunity to interview Heather Jamison, author and missionary in Africa, for Kindred Spirit. She works with Adopt A Legacy to incarnate God's love to orphans.

“In a nation with millions of orphans and abandoned children, it would be
difficult not to get involved with orphans,” Heather says, “especially in light
of God’s teaching us that true religion is looking after the orphans and the
widows.”

In the interview, "The Cause of the Orphan," you can find out more about her work and how you can contribute.

Three Completely Unrelated Thoughts

Well, in some way, they are related, but to take you to the depths of my thought synapsis would be more frightening than a journey through Pan's Labyrinth.
1. I finally, finally finished a project that consumed mucho time, and I learned one major thing: stupidity covers a lot of brilliance.
2. Lisa Samson has some great advice for letting our Christ-light shine, so hop, skip, or jump over to here.
3. I have been remiss with some great Misfit news. Chris (not my husband but a crit partner) has had his story "Moonshot" pubbed at DKA. It took first place in their 2007 Fiction Contest. Yay, Chris! (I would highly recommend reading it. Chris has a snarky voice and a good eye for plot.)
