Now that the very expensive process of “free” elections is behind us, can we talk about something important? I saw this first on BradRuggles.com. I think repeating it is a good thing.

While I disagree with you that the election is less important than clean water (there are an awful lot of lives at stake here), that video was incredible. Seriously stellar. I think I’ll post it also. I think as many people as possible should watch that video.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Bill. Sorry for the “loser” im. My attempt at e-humor and point making. You are anything but. This is a stellar video. I am relieved that the campaigning and elections are over. I am also glad you followed where you were led in that process.
I learned about clean water wells at a Third Day concert a while back. It is astounding how much disease and starvation is ELIMINATED just by simply having clean drinking water.
Here are some quick facts:
* 3,800 children die every day from diseases associated with lack of access to safe drinking water, inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene.
* 2.6 billion people, or 42 percent of the world’s population, have inadequate or nonexistent access to proper sanitation.
* When a community gains access to clean water, its child mortality rate drops by half.
Here is a link to more information about the need:

I encourage your readers to give and give generously – even sacrificially.
Thanks Bad. blood:water mission is another option for those wondering what to do.

Darla, glad you loved this! email. post.
Hey D, thanks for the link. There are so many ways to give and so many in need of the gift of life.
I posted it and linked back here to you… have a great day!
Yep, Darla is cool.
When I grow up, I want to be cool as you…not possible huh? well you can’t blame a girl for trying!
Love this!
One of the things I enjoy about World Vision is their Christmas catalogue. It’s possible to build wells, buy sheep, medicine…whatever…for third world countries. It’s a great way to give at Christmas!
Thanks, Ric.
Yeah, that is cool Michelle!
