World Water Day
That's today, folks. Are you doing your part? Am I?
I have a leaky faucet in my bathtub at home. I've been really hesitant to fix it because it's dang expensive.
But to me, it's now more than just the money. The fact that I carelessly let water go to waste each and every day, each minute, each second...while people in over countries don't even HAVE a chance for clean water...well, it's sickening.
And, last time I got my water bill (which is high for my area, because of this leak), I broke it down and I think it was like $1.50 a day. To think, I could be giving someone else a $1.50 a day, and providing them with fresh water. Instead, mine runs down the drain, where no one will be saved by taking a sip.
Do your part. Make a difference. I'm trying to do mine - I'm fixing the leak, donating money to help dig wells in Africa, and praying for the people around the world in need.
You can pray, too. There are so many ways we can be involved. Find the one that ignites your heart, and go after it full force.

Very cool post. It's a powerful idea—the impact we could have if we just took the money we spend on stuff that eventually goes to wast... unused water, food we never get around to eating... etc.
I think it takes around $30 to provide clean water for one person for life.
