Just a thought….
I know a couple of people who don’t give to the World Visions etc due to the fact that some of the money is used for admin. In the end they give a couple of bucks to door knockers, but really don’t give much else.
‘Giving’ was explained to me this way: When you give it is a redemptive act. Your motivation comes from the fact that you are sharing your success to those who are less fortunate (never know if it could be you one day). Once you start getting caught up in the ‘where’s my money going senario’ you tend to lose focus of ‘why’ and start to think your getting ripped of and then associate negative thoughts and feelings with the act of giving.And we all know what happens then!
To be able to give from our increase is a wonderful and blessed gift WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN.

Hey guys, Latham promises Three (count ’em) new books for every newborn baby. Although it’s mandatory that one of them has to be ‘Mien Kempf'(however that’s spelt)
Ben, i too am in mourning. As soon as i found out this morning, i SMS’d all my family, we were shattered. My brother in the UK was thinking of catching the soonest flight he could so he could be with us…he opted to watch the closing ceremony of the olympics instead. Cold heartless Bas**rd !!
Geo, ofcourse people don’t prefer wraps !
However there are people out there that don’t have any other option and when you get one that’s motivated and can see the big picture then the fun begins. Also if the Government was giving me $12,000 for free to buy a house, i would try my darndest to get my hands on it
