Host a Super Bowl Party – Help Rebuild Haiti


Written by Jeff Shinabarger, founder of Gift Card Giver, and originally posted at www.plywoodpeople.com

The super bowl is the house party of the year. We know, you will be at a house watching the big screen with your friends, eating junk food, yelling for no reason and voting on what commercial was the funniest. We need you, yes you, the one with the cheese dip in your lap. While you are cheering, we need you to help us collect gift cards to help with relief efforts in Haiti. Every person has an unused gift card ($8 billion annually) and you can help do something super by collecting  those cards to support a great need. Party with a purpose. Simply, have a super giver bowl and put gift cards in it instead of chips.  When you’re wiping up soda spills and filling your dishwasher, you can throw the gift cards in an envelope to Gift Card Giver and you’ll have given your party even more purpose.  But don’t forget to tell your friends to bring their gift cards!

Trade Your Trouble for a Bubble

Every once in awhile I see something that reminds me of some disturbing trends of Christianity. This is one of them. Is this where we are heading, living in a bubble that looks like the rest of the world? I love the headline, “Trade in your trouble for a bubble”. How true is that?

What do you think? Is this what Christianity has become?
