merry $$$-mas

once again i think we have lost some of the meaning of christmas. we have turned it into a super hyper commercialized holiday that boycotts jesus or anything too christian. i understand that we live in a post-modern almost post-christian world according to some people but i am going to be part of the solution and not the problem. i am not going to sit around and cry about how bad christmas is . here is my plan. i am going to take the money that i am going to spend on my wife for christmas and i am going to start a fund for a family who is having financial troubles. the cool thing is, auny is going to put the same money into the fund. we will give each other a hug for christmas and give to someone who needs a gift. the truth is i dont need another gift. im not rich but i have what i need. i dont need another toaster. we need change. you see we have turned christmas into gifts for me and my family and friends. we are kinda selfish even with our giving. thats why i sarcastically say merry $$$-mas. does anyone want to join me to make a difference?

i found a family who really needs some help this christmas. these people are not lazy people who are expecting a handout. they are good people. i know these people. and i know that we can give them a christmas that they will never forget. i want your help. if you want to give some money towards our new christmas fund then email us right now at info@brockgill.com we will personally go and give the gift to the family. all of the money raised will go to this family. this will be a christmas that you will not forget either. if you are offended at the enormous commercialism of the holiday called $$$-mas then now is your chance to make a difference. this is not a plea for money. this is an opportunity to have fun with your christmas and make a difference in a families life. this is going to be fun.

I recently heard a story about a family from my church. They had no living room furniture and were saving up for a looooong time to buy some. When they finally had enough money saved up,they felt the Lord was telling them to give all of it to the church building fund. They were obedient and gave all their furniture money to the church.
Though they had an empty living room, they knew that their money went to a greater cause. A few months later their next door neighbor came over to tell them that he had applied to the show "While You Were Out" and had been chosen! The husbands sent their wives on a two day trip and when they came home, the family had a BEAUTIFUL new living room- for FREE!
