Again sorry for the delay. And THANK YOU to all who’ve pitched in to help Tam. I was reminded by one of our international donors that we are doing the right thing for the right reasons…
He also sent this Bible verse, and while we cannot do this in total anonymity, he said we are following the ‘spirit’ of the verses… And I agree… The ONLY reason I’m out there on this is that I got elected chief cat-herder. Y’all that know me, KNOW this is not my normal mode of operation.
Matthew Ch-6 1-4 NIV
1 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Navy officers have a lot of experience herding cats.
It’s good to see a community of people trying to take care of their own. Thanks for organizing this, NFO.
WSF- yeah, but ‘usually’ i could reach out and smack em…
Andy- True, and thanks…
Y’all done good … even if I didn’t win that Combo.
Something has gone wrong. My winning e-mail hasn’t arrived yet! Is this a Black Friday side-effect?
😉
Thanks for the cat-herding, NFO, even if some us are more like ferrets than cats when it comes to herding…
Tim/Peter- Well, I didn’t get one either… sigh…
Wing- True dat! 🙂
Needed no promise of reward to chip in, in the now or any supposed hereafter. I did it to help Tam, and that is all.
