“Where will the bar soap go?” you
might ask. If you’re unfamiliar with my previous challenges, I donate all bar
soap to GoServ Global (out of Eagle Grove, Iowa) with the expectation that it
will get sent to Haiti. Meanwhile, the monetary donation to my church will go
to one of the specific funds. Perhaps the Haiti Project, but I won’t rule out
donating it to Sunday School, Altar Guild or another fund altogether.
Challenges of all sorts can be
wondrous, whether you set them yourself (like this one) or take up a suggestion
from others. The important thing is that you are challenging yourself to do
something more, perhaps even something far larger than yourself. Whether it’s a
challenge that pushes you alone or reaches others is up to you. And sometimes,
those challenges are not the ones we choose, and if you’re going through any of
those, I hope you persevere and rise above them. But this is not a post to
focus on the truly tough, the nasty tough, the I-don’t-have-words tough. This
is a challenge of positivity in reading. So, with that, happy reading, my
friends!
Amazingly, March and April are complete, and my tabulations are complete. Counting chapter books on up, I read 11 books in those two months. Do I wish it were more? Surely. Or at least an even number. Instead of splitting things by purchasing one smaller package of soap and donating an extra $5, I'm just going to add another full package of soap to my list. So, my final donation tally is: (1) 6 packages of bar soap (eight-count or greater) and (2) $50 to my home church, though I haven't specified a fund. I will by Sunday, though!
