okay i've had this season, this blog, some ideas all rumbling in my mind for a few weeks now. i've wanted to get a big picture... to write down and encapsulate a perspective of truth regarding the holidays. i've been looking at jackson and thinking of how to communicate, of what to communicate to him... what do I want to teach him regarding the celebration of Jesus Christ and the Message that began with His birth?
Get in on this. it's beautiful.

Advent Conspiracy to Reduce Spending at Christmas
In 2006 America spent 456.2 billion USD during Christmas. It would take 30 billion USD a year to provide clean drinking water and sanitation to half of the world population that goes without. Imagine a world where America gives 10% of Christmas to those truly in need.

Jacob's Well is doing a full series on this. I can't wait to listen to it. Check it at www.jacobswellchurch.org if you're interested!
I was going to say the same thing as Esue. It has been impressive to see Jacob's Well, as an entire community, live out the advent conspiracy concept. Instead of advent candles, they fill large vases with water each Sunday. The children of the church produced art that they are putting on water bottles and selling each Sunday. All money raised during advent season is going to a water project in Africa. I love it! - sarah w
