We hereby pledge:
- To spend intimate, quantity time with our family.
- To actively help the poor, the sick, the lonely, and the helpless.
- To value, protect, and advocate for children.
- To de-emphasize the importance of “stuff” in our lives.
- To bring publicity to good causes and good people.
- To live with intentionality, as if this year was our very last.
- To observe the needs in our country/community – and then do something about them.
- To give – every day.
I've never volunteered with the local Salvation Army - although I shop at their thrift store and take donations there too.
I like a ministry with the mindset of giving people a hand-up instead of simply a hand-out.

I have been a bell ringer a few times. One year my best friend and I brought our instruments (and our fingerless gloves!) and played Christmas songs instead of ringing the bell. It was fun!
