December 4, 2010 Some thoughts on Christmas or our lack thereof…
[Taken from GFA in blatant plagiarism]
Did you know that $350 Billion will be spent on Christmas this year in the U.S. alone? (And yes, that number happens to be half of the federal stimulus package).
And we’re in a recession.
Half of 1% is $1.75 Billion.
That’s a pair of chickens for every Dalit family in India.*
159,000 new church buildings built in Southeast Asia.
Half a billion Bibles (that is a b for billion) given away in a native language.
Five million children educated.
With half of 1%.
Remember Christmas.
*This is what that means.
