Directly Helping the Poor and Needy #TimCard #Charity365

Posted on September 27, 2017 by Matt

That awkward moment… when you see a panhandler at the intersection as you’re driving your daily commute to and from work. Each and every day, the same man or woman for a few days or weeks at a time, then maybe a different person for a while, there most days of the work week, and most days you hope to avoid them or to avoid eye contact, at the least. A few more intersections, then you’re home free – for one more day…

Money is a Test

Posted on September 11, 2016September 11, 2016 by Matt

How can I give charitably? #Charity365

Posted on November 8, 2015May 1, 2016 by Matt

‘God has heard your prayer and remembered your gifts to the poor.’ Acts 10:30-31 Recently, I checked off a to-do I’ve been meaning to-actually-do for some time: I added two local organizations to my charitable giving to complement my regional and international charitable giving. I say this with some trepidation because I don’t want to…

Jewish Passover falls on Good Friday this year. Passover remembers the Exodus of the Jewish people from Egypt during which God told the people to kill a “lamb without blemish” and paint their doorposts with the blood… God said “when I see the blood, I will pass over you and no plague will befall you…

Sanctus Valentinus: Behind the Verse

Posted on February 14, 2015March 1, 2015 by Matt

Oh, Saint, to your name, thereof, My question is this, what is love? On a warm summer’s day, sunshine beaming down on country fields, and in the vibrant spring of my life, many, many years ago now, I once spoke these fateful words to a certain girl I liked very much: I don’t know what…

Posted on October 27, 2013October 27, 2013 by Matt
