Congrats Greg! A much deserved award for a true legend.

It may often be noticed, the less virtuous people are, the more they shrink away from the slightest whiff of the odour of un-sanctity. The good are ever the most charitable, the pure are the most brave.

— Dinah Craik

Acts 9:36 (NKJV) - At Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did.

Please I lost everything because I kept having seizures.

Hello, my name is Kevin and I’m living in an unfortunate dangerous situation. I had a job and a nice apartment with my truck and my service dog. I have epilepsy and I kept having multiple seizures and kept missing many days of work. Due to this, I lost my job, I had to sell everything to try to prevent me from being homeless.My situation kept getting worse and worse and I had to put up my dog for adoption. I am so depressed, thought of suicide keeps coming to my mind. I was sent to the psych to prevent anything from happening. When I ran out of money, I was evicted from my apartment. I have lost everything. I am so ashamed and embarrassed about my current situation. I still suffer from epilepsy and many seizures due to stress. Due to the seizures I broke my back and had to rotator cuff surgery. I’m homeless, I sleep in the den of drug addicts which is not good for me. I have an eviction and bad credit on my record. I would have to rent and a deposit to get into an apartment. I need a second chance to turn my life around. Please any help I get will be most appreciated. Please help!!

Can you spare a (free) vote to help the NWT SPCA earn $1?

For just this weekend only, My Giving Circle will donate $1 for each new person that votes for the NWT SPCA as their favourite charity! This is the shelter I volunteer at, and every kennel they have is full now. 

They serve communities in both the NWT and Nunavut, where in many small, remote communities opportunities to get your pet spayed or neutered was limited even before the pandemic saw shortages of vets and reduced ability to travel in for clinics. They even board community dogs while they wait to be able to get into the vet here. Their staff is awesome, putting in so many hours and they also rely a lot on volunteers to help, especially now. Every dollar helps, given the number of dogs and cats they ensure are fed, have their medical needs met, have the right kinds of collars, etc. (The love and attention they provide for free!)

All votes will contribute to the NWT SPCA’s chance to win a share of $75,000 of grants on September 30.This special offer for new voters will be on until midnight this Sunday, September 4th! I’d love if you can spare a (free) vote even once to help them get a little extra in funding, and feel free to boost.

You can vote for free at : mygivingcircle.org/nwt-spca/vote

Here are some cute dogs pics from my volunteering, to sweeten the pot!

Paul Albert Besnard - Charitable, 1900.

On December 3, Dr. Phil McGraw and his wife, Robin, were named 'Mr. and Mrs. Wonderful' by the Thalians organization at their Winter Gala. The Thalians were first created in 1955 by a group of celebrities interested in helping children with mental health issues. The organization takes its name from Thalia, Greek Muse of comedy and idyllic poetry. In 1966, the Mr. Wonderful award was created to honor those involved in entertainment and philanthropy. In 1974, Lucille became the first woman honored.

I want to ask you never to be insolent to those who hold a lowly position in the world. And never to ill-treat any animal.

Halldór Laxness, "Independent People" (Vintage International, February 19, 2009) 

It doesn't matter if you think you are doing all the "right" things for God if you are justifying, making excuses, and encouraging the wicked to remain unchanged and lost in their ways. To do such a thing, as His Word tells us, will make you as guilty as they are (Ezekiel 3:18-21). It is unfortunate that we live in a world where sin is justified by not just the wicked but also by those who were supposed to be set apart from such worldly corruption and guide the lost to the One who can save them. We are never to encourage or support sinners in their sins. We must always guide and instruct sinners of the will of God, and we cannot do that unless we know, study, and are obedient to His Word which is the Bible. You are not being “loving” or “hospitable” if you condemn the righteous who are trying to point the lost to Christ. The loving thing to do is to confront sin—never to embrace it, nor support it. We ought to mortify the sin within, not coddle it.

Addressing the misgendering trend I suffer from. All who are guilty of misgendering in the past few years, may you give tithe to the good cause lest you prefer the strongest classic alternative. Hail to the wager.
