"Because I have been given much, I too must give..."

I am only on my first day of this challenge and it is already proving to be tough! I have signed up at www.givingchallenge.ning.com and every day for 29 days you think of some way to give to others. It can be something big or something reletively small.

Today being my first day, I signed up at www.africare.org and donated to one of their programs to help African victims of starvation and health care. It wasn't a large donation, but a donation! :)

I'm encouraging everyone on this site to join in and try to make the world a better place!

So today I started thinking and I remembered a random day in my Seminary class Sophomore year in Highschool.

My Seminary teacher put in a CD of clips of voices from different things and had us guess who the person was that was speaking. We had a lot of fun guessing people like Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, "Austin Powers", ect.

Then a voice came on that we didn't recognize. My teacher didn't give us the answer on who it was, she just skipped to another voice. We didn't recognize that one either. 4 or 5 voices went by that none of us recognized.

Finally, a voice we knew. It was Gordon B. Hinckley. Then we all realized all the other voices were apostles.

I think that experience speaks for itself.
