The kitsch business has slowed down as of late, but every now and again a check comes in from our store for the various wares sold during the prior period. That happened a few days ago, when a check came in for over $100.

As is custom, we take that money and head on over to DonorSee to see if there is a project in need of roughly the same amount. In this case, you allowed us to close the gap to help a stateless woman in Thailand cover her hospital bills after recently giving birth.

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

–James 2:14-17
