Private donations now exceed $200 million:
NEW YORK – From antibiotics to clothes to cash — lots of it — U.S.-based relief groups report an overwhelming response from donors moved by the devastation of the Indian Ocean tsunami, with more than $200 million raised as of Tuesday. One charity said online pledges were coming in at the rate of $100,000 an hour.

I was wondering why we are still providing aid when our nation is slowly deteriorating why don’t we use this money to pull our economy out of debt. There are people in the U.S. starving do you see us spending $200 million dollars on them to make sure that they are fed? The money that we are giving to them is not helping our nation out so why are we still donating this money?

The lessons on “love thy neighbor” and charitable giving is left as an exercise for the student.

About Me
Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.
Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”
If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.
Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
