An important reminder

I started this morning as I do many mornings.

1. Wake up.
2. Stumble around and get my bearings.
3. Go get the paper.

This is where I departed from my routine. Normally, step four is to leave the paper on the table for Sarah while I go get my news from the internet. There's just something about having to turn to page nine to read the rest of the story that kills my interest. This morning however, this story caught my eye.

For those who, like me, don't want to navigate to another page to read the rest of the story, I'll sum up.

With all the economic uncertainty of late, a lot of charities and non-profit organizations are feeling the pinch as contribution decline. The fact that this is happening in the fall, when a lot of organizations count on end of the year giving is all the more alarming.

That's the main idea. As I was reading it I was reminded of all the people we have standing with us in our ministry, faithfully giving and making it possible for us to invest in the lives of college students. We're so encouraged by the generosity of those who faithfully pray for and give to our ministry.
