Tsunami Relief Day Jan 12

Cap'n Ed, over at the Captain's Quarters, is spearheading a fund drive for the Tsunami Relief fund at World Vision.

Ed's suggestion is that those who can afford it donate their take-home pay on Jan 12.   One day's pay, coming at a time that's in between bill-paying for most folks, donated to a top-rated charity to help out those who are less fortunate than we are, right now.

If you can't afford to donate an entire day's pay, donate what you can.

He announced this idea on Jan 1, and as of Jan 4,  his readers have already raised over $10,000.    If  you've not donated anywhere yet, and were wondering where to give,  I respectfully  suggest you join Ed's readers and help him reach his goal of raising $25K by Jan 12.

My Commitment


  • Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. Hab. 3:17-18
