You have been judged, get over it and move on...you have nothing to prove on here to people sitting on their butts judging you while you are out working with your charity. All the unkind remarks trying to devalue your Christian morals, are just as un-Christian, and on any given day someone is raked over the coals on here. Know that you are doing something worthwhile, and leave the debating to the accusers. You did nothing to harm contributions to your charity, as suggested. Someone inclined to contribute still will. Anyone suggesting otherwise, was never going to anyway. Good luck!!

Un-Christian? Did we read the same thread? I believe there was a miscommunication. That doesn't make it right but it was a miscommunication. I believe a commitment is a commitment and everything should be done to honor tbat commitment. At the same time, don't use your charitable organization as a means to believe you are entitled. On another thread a person wants to buy storage containers at a low price because it is for a charitable organization. I have come to the conclusion that Villagers are, per capita, among the most charitable -- time, treasures and talent.
