Spam.

Tonight I went and sorta kinda spammed about 80+ of my friends on Facebook. You see, my sis and her friends started this ministry to orphans in Ukraine, and they're currently facing one of their biggest financial hurdles yet. So I got on their Facebook page, found out who I was "friends" with who was also "friends" with them, and messaged asking them all to participate in the $10 Challenge: 10 people, giving $10 each, over the next 10 days. Day 1 was great; day 2 pretty awesome as well. Days 3 and 4 have been slightly lacking, from the looks of things.

Now I HATE spamming friends, hate GETTING spam myself. But this summer I did the same thing for a stupid contest for one of my favorite musicians--and won myself a phone call, autographed pic, and some handwritten lyrics. I figured that if I could do it for such a "cause" as cool stuff, how could I NOT do it to help out some lost and forgotten and hurting kids in Ukraine? So maybe I'll piss off a few "friends," who knows. Maybe a few of them will donate to the cause. Maybe a handful will even find other people who will donate $10 too. At the very least--or the very MOST--maybe I'll have alerted 80+ Christian friends to the need to pray for some friends and the cause that God has given them a passion and a purpose for. Won't you join in too?
