I was thinking about this this morning Troy.
and here's an idea of sorts....might be good, might be not so good....
as a lead in example......I tithe.
I give to my church, and to other forms of charity or need, with regularity. I can never truly "afford it", and yet to be honest, I also cannot afford to NOT tithe, because sometimes you have to place your needs as secondary to that which you recognize. I trust God to help me withthe rest.
A tithe, can be done in secrecy.
I never give at church when they pass the offering.
Instead, laura andn I give online every month, in private. We are msot comfortable with that provision and it suits our budget better.
I dont know the cost to keep DGN going.
But I do know that I'd like at least understand in detail how to solve this problem.
Perhaps if you get enough offers - then you can set up a schedule.
ANd if its not too drastic, then those of us who would liek to help can take turns, so that its budgeted monthly by those who give. Every month, soembody else sends a check.
nobody has to know who is giving or how much. Arrangements can be made via PM with those who would like to support the cause. A schedule can be made, and confirmations can be done privately. Nobody has to feel bad, nobody has to feel good, whoever can help can help, whoever cannot does not have to worry about it. It can just get done, which sometimes is best. I personally do not want to be listed as a DGN supporter, if I choose to get involved. I'd rather just be a part of this community. But thats just me.
Just a thought.
