Just
some websites that I either am responsible for, visit often, find
useful or worthwhile, or simply plastered up here for some inscrutable
reason:
- My blog.
- A site I made to post
pictures and stories from a trip we made over spring break in 2006,
volunteering down in Louisiana to help rebuild after Hurricane Katrina.
- News sources: I usually cycle between the BBC, the CBC, and the NY Times.
- Reference: Wikipedia continues
to be amazing.
 Most
Friday nights, you can find me hanging out at UCM -- United
Campus Ministry, possibly wearing a fake beard or a pair of galoshes.
- "From everyone who
has been given much, much will be
demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more
will be asked." (Luke 12:48)
We who are fortunate enough to be
financially secure have an obligation to help those who work hard, but
still face difficulties and uncertainties beyond their control; one
organisation which helps us fulfill this obligation is Kiva, which I've become involved with
as a lender.
- "Is this not the
kind of fasting I have chosen: to
loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set
the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your
food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter -
when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your
own flesh and blood?" (Isaiah 58:6-7)
Along the same lines,
there are many organisations doing very important work with the hungry,
the poor, and the oppressed. They need our support in order to do
that work; Africare, the Red Cross, and Mennonite Disaster Service
are some that I trust to put any donations I make to good use.
