Nothing wrong with material posessions as long as you keep them in the proper perspective.
If I didn't donate to charity, I could have paid for that Benelli with cash by now and a truck to tow it. The only way I will buy it is if I can donate AND afford monthly payments.
Charity always comes first in my book.
I won't mention how much I give since that's between me and God.
However, if you would like to help, please make a contribution to www.compassion.com. I've researched them and 100% of your donations goes to helping the children.
There are many children in need and can use your help. Christmas is coming and it's not too late to make a contribution so a child can have a Christmas gift. Even $1 can help. Every little bit counts.
