Jeremy and I received a total of $15 from the “Living a Better Story” envelopes. I had originally planned to bring desserts to the office to sell, but someone else had brought in a load of free candy for us to snack on, so I didn’t figure my desserts would go over well. We also weren’t set on a charity to donate the money to either. Instead, while driving to Trenton one night to visit my family while praying about what to do, I noticed a huge sign on the side of the road. Joe Shepard was running for office, and his sign said JOE in huge letters. My mind instantly went to a coworker named Joe at one of our other offices whose wife had just died from cancer and had left him emotionally and financially fragile. I knew instantly that God wanted the money to go to him. My 10 coworkers and I are pooling our money and hope to buy him a $250 grocery gift card (we have raised $215 so far), and plan to send the money to him by the end of this week.
