"Because I take seriously Christ's admonition that 'where your treasure is, there will your heart be also' (Matt. 6:31), and
"Because I believe reaching out in compassion to the extreme poor around the world is more important than propping up an economy based on unsustainable consumption.
"I am donating all or part of my 2008 tax rebate/economic stimulus check to not-for-profit organizations that support the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.
"Instead of spending it, I am Giving It For Good."
My check's going to Episcopal Relief and Development, how 'bout you ?

About Me
- David
- I'm a regular, middle-aged guy from the N. Texas suburbs. Center-Left (with some, non-crazy, Libertarian-ish tendencies), INFP, Progressive Christian (Episcopalian tribe). This is where I write about technology, politics, culture, religion, and other things I pretend to know something about. The site is called The Knowledge Box not out of an inflated sense of my own mental capacity, but because it is the humorous (and slightly sarcastic) nickname I received from my wife and son for my vast store of semi-useless trivial knowledge.
