You'll notice a new widget on the right hand side up top - it's for Advent Conspiracy 2008. Click on it and check it out.
Advent Conspiracy is a collection of churches dedicated to turn consumerism on its head at Christmas. Instead of filling our homes with material gifts for one another, Advent Conspiracy challenges people to give money away to those in need. One of the big charities supported by this effort is Living Water International, and organization based here in Houston that drills wells in the developing world.
Last year over 1,200 churches participated in Advent Conspiracy. I'm excited to see how many take up the challenge in 2008.
This is a Living Water project that our church helped support. Not only does clean water change everything, God changes everything.

This is a great idea. I don't even enjoy Christmas because of all the commercialism.
