American Idol moved me
I don't normally talk about TV in my blog, but wow, American Idol has really really moved me tonight and so I feel like I must.
I haven't shed this many tears in a long time. It's moved me to donate and I don't really have the money just laying around to do it, but it is still more than what any soul in Africa, or millions here in the US, has. I hope and pray that this show has moved you to donate as well.
It's just so absolutely amazing what American Idol is doing. If you have no idea what I am talking about, you can learn more about "Idol Gives Back" here. 1/2 of all the money raised goes to charities in the US:
- Save The Children
- America's Second Harvest - The Nation's Food Bank Network
- Boys and Girls Clubs of America
- The Children's Health Fund
- U.S. Fund for UNICEF
- Save The Children
- The Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria
- Malaria No More
- Nothing But Nets (to help prevent mosquitos that spread AIDS)
What Bono (from U2) said tonight will stick in my mind for a long time:
"Remember the people's lives that you are transforming . . . and there is no one watching who cannot save a life."
Please donate, I urge you to.
