We live in a world that champions acquisition. It is a fast-paced and frenetic world that often leaves us little time to think beyond our immediate needs and schedules. This project is about seeing life in a different way. We do have the ability to control our time and energy, rather than trying to hold on to what we have as if those things are what make us. We would rather seize opportunities to serve others by using the gifts God has given us. We receive all that we have from a gracious God. Let's give back to others that they might know about God's love for them.
