Redemption, by definition, is the action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil. This week we learned about a place that brings this definition to life in our community. Redemption House Ministries ministers to women in a home setting as an alternative to incarceration. Redemption House allows previously incarcerated women to live… Continue reading A House of Redemption

Day 6: Game Donation
Do you like to play games? Do you have a favorite board game? Connect Four, Monopoly, and Battleship have been a few of my favorites since childhood. Board games have played a huge role in my life over the years. As a child, my family sat down and played games at reunions, family events, and… Continue reading Day 6: Game Donation
Day 5: Kind Gesture
One of the most memorable, and emotional, moments of my life happened earlier this year while participating in Random Acts of Kindness week. By now, you have heard the story of Marvin and Doris and power of two cups of coffee. That experience taught me that simple acts of kindness can make a difference in… Continue reading Day 5: Kind Gesture
Day 4: Parking Meters
I walked around downtown Fort Wayne today singing the lyrics "I got a little change in my pocket going jingle lingle ling". That song, a Georgia Satellites classic, played in my head as I moved through the city with a pocket full of quarters on a mission to help others. Today was Day 4 of… Continue reading Day 4: Parking Meters

We can, however, write from the heart. Today, that is exactly what we did. Day 2 of our 25… Continue reading Day 2: Poetic Gesture

Raking Leaves To Help A Neighbor
There is a lot to love about fall. Football, Halloween, and caramel apples are a few of the things we love most. The vibrant colors of a changing season are a beautiful scene. Leaves fall creating a layered palette in the yard. This palette, although pretty, is what I dislike most about the fall. I… Continue reading Raking Leaves To Help A Neighbor
Community Collaboration and a Baby Shower
Collaboration by definition is working together to achieve a goal. In business and in the nonprofit world it is multiple organizations partnering to realize shared goals. But does collaboration really exist? Can people really put their own agendas, their beliefs, to the side in an effort to work together? We constantly hear politicians talk about… Continue reading Community Collaboration and a Baby Shower
