On The Move

Today I read "One The Move" by Bono.  Powerful, intriguing, effective.  I went to www.one.org and signed up.  Bono described the aids pandemic as the leprosy of our generation.  Colin Powell, a 5 star general, called it the greatest W.M.D. (weapon of mass destruction) of them all.

"The One campaign, a growing movement of more than two million Americans...left and right together, united in the belief that where you live should no longer determine whether you live."

We live busy lives.  So often we are so busy maintaining our own existence, we feel we do not have time for anything else.  There are little things we can do - baby step things - that can and do make a difference.  One drop in a bucket by itself is one drop.  However, if a whole bunch of people add their one drop, the bucket will overflow.  

Jesus is quoted as saying "Give and it will be given to  you, a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and flowing over into your lap.  For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."  Luke 6:38

So today, you can do a drop - visit www.one.org and sign up.  Bono gives lots of great ideas about how you can help - little drops that add up!  I did.  I signed up today, I sent an email to friends inviting them to join, and I'm writing about it in my blog - all ideas Bono gave me. :)

Have a splashin' great day!
