In preparation

Can we truly gain something from hunger?  Perhaps we gain an appreciation or an understanding of the situation of those who do not get enough to eat.  Perhaps we acquire sensitivity to those who live at or below the poverty level.  Perhaps we learn how best to relate to our impoverished neighbors and fellow human beings.  May our gains be for good!

Dear friends,

Welcome to my new blog for my participation in the Food Stamp Challenge, from February 10 To 17, 2013.  Be sure to join in if you'd like.  Go to www.wisconsinfaithvoicesforjustice.org.

As I thought about living on $29.07 for the week, I was grocery shopping for my family, and my shopping led me me to wonder about each item I dumped into my basket, "Could I afford this or that item when I'm on the Challenge?  How can I get (what I consider) proper nutrition from the Challenge amount?"

I will discover that when the time comes.
