Well, something profound happened yesterday.
First, I went to a talk about the Invisible Children hold-out in Oklahoma...which was awesome! I have the highest respect for the Sewanee students who went. They are truly some of my hometown heroes. Not only was it amazing hearing them tell us about the experience and everything else that was going on, but the director of the documentary "For the Bible Tells Me So," came to tell us about his new documentary and to applaud the students who held out in Oklahoma.
Daniel G. Karslake is the director of the documentary. His newest film he is working on is called "Every Three Seconds." When he came into talk to us, he said that he wanted to show that one person could make a difference. I am a firm believer in the fact that one person can make a difference.
A few weeks ago in one of our Whistler Society meetings, we were talking about this very thing, and how challenging it is for us to fully grasp. It is something that is difficult for me to keep thinking. After time, one just begins to think..."I can't do this on my own...what can I possibly do on my own?" Lord, I can't even being to think how much I've been there. I am not saying that one person is the way to go. People are definitely powerful in groups. However, one person can accomplish something that seems astonishing and wonderful. One single person. One idea. Crazy huh? I think so.
So here is idea. I am going to make an etsy shop online called "crafts4thecongo." I am going to make bags and whatever else I can manage to sew and knit up this summer. 100% of the proceeds will go to non-profits who help the Congo. This is my idea. And I am going to work hard to let it happen. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Although, I could just be one person. But like I said, one person matters :)
