  • every little bit counts

    grocery cartA few of my friends are going on a mission trip to Rome. They sent out an email asking for donations of money and/or items needed for the numerous homeless people. I just spent a few dollars and a few minutes in Big Lots to pickup a few things for them to take to the shelters in Rome. It feels nice to know that every little bit counts and I will be providing some simple necessities for people who are in such hardship.
