The Great Goat Giveaway

There's a write-up in the local paper about $3,000 that was raised during the Great Goat Giveaway.  The school systems sold $1 raffle tickets and the top earning school got $300.  Cartersville High School raised $1,000 and the the fund raiser was dubbed  a success.

I think this was an interesting way to raise money, and it sounds like a lot of fun.  I think Dot Frazier's teacher grant program is a wonderful idea.  And I'm for giving as much money as possible to our schools.  I'd just like to point out that our church contributes nearly twice as much as this entire fund raiser in the form of rent...EVERY MONTH.  And no livestock is involved.

In and around Jacksonville, Florida (where I spent Thanksgiving), all three counties rent facilities to churches.  It's obviously a great partnership that is working well across the country.

Dude... I saw this movie too over the holidays with my girlfriend...and I agree with you!

Seriously, I thought that I was going to see the kid grow up with his parents... at least.

But, by the time that they found out that he was the son, the freakin' credits began to roll.
Dang!
Hehe.

The Great Goat Giveway--- I think my granddaughter must have given most of that $3,000. She really wanted us to win the goat. Now, where in the world would we have kept it?? In an apartment? I don't think so. The landlord might have something to say about that.

So, as much as she was praying that she'd win the thing, I was praying that she wouldn't. I know that God heard both of us, but I must have been louder because she didn't win the goat.
