Give What You've Got

I believe that a person who has, should give to a person who has not. A recent example in my life: I have a willingness and ability to crawl into small, inhospitable, natural openings in the bedrock. A man whose dog chased a raccoon into one of these spaces did not. So a friend and I tried our best to get in there to get that dog out. This particular cave quickly became too small for us to get far enough to get the dog, but we tried our best.

A friend of mine who has enough money offered to give gas money and buy supplies for people who would be willing to try to get in.

There are lots of ways to help out in the world around you. Think about what you have that you can give, and chip in. Maybe you don't have money, but you have time to volunteer, or maybe you have money but no time. Find a way to use the gifts you've been given. You've been given them for a reason.

If anyone out there has been given the gift of amazing shrinking powers, there is a coon dog that could use your help.
