As in February, I plan to donate $25
for every 500 pages I read. My donation will go toward a fund through my home
church. There’s a good chance I’ll gift it to the Haiti Project, but I’m
leaving myself open to donating it to another fund (e.g. Sunday School).
Do you have a passion project
coursing through you? If so, what is it? Remember that a project doesn’t have
to start off huge. There is nothing wrong with starting small and watching that
small flame rise higher and become brighter. There is also nothing wrong with
staying steady with your project, as endurance is a test as well. Take soap for
example. Soap bars are small and seem like such a simple, minute thing. But
there is nothing small about soap when you’re in need of it and you have none available
to you. Recently, I sent a box of soap with a trailer full of items (including
food packaged through Real Hope for the Hungry) to GoServ Global. It doesn’t
take up much space, but it was crammed full. A box that can fit in the mailbox that
contained 22 pounds of bar soap!
My tally is in ... and I read a grand total of 2,747 pages in May! The books ranged from chapter books to adult mystery/thrillers. Since the numbers work out, I'll donate the exact amount. My total number divided by 500 pages gives me 5.494. Multiply that by $25 per, and my total donation will be $137.35. Guess I should go find my checkbook!
