Gee. What a surprise.

Stick with established charities, after all the American Red Cross headquarters could use the new computers.

One charity raised more than $700,000 for a giant memorial quilt,

Anyone who donated to that would buy oceanfront property in Montana, too.

For some reason I'm not surprised by this. Wasn't it the Red Cross that used 9/11 donations to build themselves a fine new building somewhere?

This is why I don’t support any of the big consortium charities anymore. You can’t trust any big groups with your money.

If you really want to do good for a person in need, find out what they need and take it to them so you know they get it.

Yesterday I read the article about the Susan G. Komen Foundation, a big fund raiser for breast cancer. Come to find out they are one of the biggest supporters of Planned Parenthood. Wonder how many people thought they were sponsoring breast cancer research and found out they were supporting abortion clinics instead. Which current science has now discovered abortions and contraceptive pills are the biggest causers of breast cancer.

How many heart jerking brochures have you received and picked up your checkbook and sent them money without ever finding out what they’re doing with it?

Scratching head. What were they going to do with a giant quilt that would cover 25 football fields?

What happened to all the money donated for Haiti?

Add Haiti relief to the pile

[P.O.E.]

If I recall, Red Cross built themselves a state-of-the-art office complex.

These days stealing is viewed as a legitimate way to earn a living. Too bad God doesn’t see it that way. There will be a lot of thieves going to hell.

There will also be a lot of adulterers there. This is the most common sin.
