http://bears.carenurse.com/thinking/starfish.html. One of my favorite stories. Folklore? Possibly. But still very powerful. Small boy trying to get starfish back into the ocean before the sun comes up and they die.

Great input, Matt! Seriously. I completely agree; the way the world works is broken. But I can’t wake up tomorrow and suddenly change that; it’ll take time and tons of people working together. In the meantime, I CAN help Richard. It’s so cliche, but it’s true: you’ve got to start somewhere.

Meh. It’s cool that you’re helping one kid, but what about all the other kids?

The problem isn’t just that they don’t have certain things, it’s that we have far too much, and waste more than others will ever have.

So not to rain on the parade that’s going on here, but until the system gets fixed, there will always be another Richard that won’t be helped.

Caleb, This is awesome. Letting God ruin our lives for Him and the world is truly a beautiful thing. Once it begins, you can’t seem to ever really live any other way again, thus what I mean when I say ruined, and ruined for the best.

Pslam 39:4-5 says that our lives are at best, a breath. With a breath’s worth of life, I think living it for Him for others is the only way to live.

Thanks for sharing.

This is great, and I’m checking out the site right now.

I totally see the appeal of donating to someone you can see and hear the difference it’s making in that one person’s life.

Inspiring, you’re awesome. Glad to know you.
