Here's a little video I made to get you ready for "Squidmas" 2010 at the 40 Watt here in Athens on Tuesday, December 7th. Our friends Doctor Squid have put this together for the last three years, and this year, the Warm Fuzzies will be joining in the holiday cheer.
This is a video I helped produce for Mercy Health Center here in Athens for their annual fundraiser banquet.
I started volunteering at Mercy back in May after Medical Director Paul Buczynsky spoke one Sunday at my church. Paul also attends Classic City, and I knew a little about Mercy, but in hearing firsthand about a place in my own town that is caring for those who need help - regardless of income, race, religion, etc. - got my heart racing. Here is a place where love is an action verb, a volunteer-driven organism that puts into practice the words of Jesus. Not perfect, but so very, very wonderful.
... dear friends who had been trying to have a baby for a long time told us they're pregnant.
When someone asks me, "How are things?" I never know how to answer. But as these days roll on, I'm finding more and more opportunity to put this verse into practice:
"Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn." - Romans 12:15
