My sweet friend Maggie is a wonderful writer and she has a big heart as well. She’s blogging today on her fundraising efforts for child abuse prevention via Childhelp. Will you take a minute to visit her site and consider making a donation? And while you are there, read her other posts. You won’t be sorry because she is amazing.

"Some of the decline in trust is certainly due to the well-known scandals in American Christian denominations, but there is also a scandal in the way that Christians have been catechized to engage in public life. There are countless examples: Insurrectionists leading a prayer from the floor of the U.S. Senate after ransacking the Capitol; Attorney General Jeff Sessions invoking St. Paul to justify immoral immigration policies; Democratic candidates speaking in churches about the need for abortion on demand without the slightest nod to the humanity of the unborn. Too often, our partisan identities have been driving the way our faith manifests itself, rather than our faith driving the way we engage in public life."

"I believe that when someone has a need, their neighbors ought to declare an all-out effort to respond to that need. Those who have a garden should plant extra food. Those whose gardens fail to grow should bring their friendship. Those with a car should offer rides. Those with a museum should contribute dinosaurs and paintings. You’ve got to feed people however you can out of whatever you were given. That is the firmest and dearest belief I hold."
