Why Do I BlogThe Age Of Conversation Bum Rush (For A Very Good Cause)
The deadline for submitting a logo to enter into the Logo Contest has passed. I had thought about extending the deadline due to the limited number of entries(3) . I had said I wanted a minimum number of entries in the initial Logo Contest post, but I did not state that I needed a minimum in the actual Logo Contest post. So Three entries, 1/10th of my goal is what we got. Oh well. Three is better than none.
Deb Bixler, who created the awesome DebBixler Logo is also the first person to cast her vote.
Megan of BizDevMarketing created TheGrubhound Logo.
The WorkatHomeCommunity Blog made a Logo for Baldydog.com
So these are the entries, unless someone comments to let me know that I have missed an entry.
What is your vote?
The final decision will be made on Friday, so make your votes here. I’ll give 3pts for your 1, 2pts for 2nd, and 1pt for third.

- A post with the logo entries will be posted here, and readers will vote on logos or judges could be the sponsors as well as any readers.
Well thats it so far. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Does the Mybloglog Update remind you of Facebook?Top Commentators – February 2008
Yesterday morning, as with many Sunday mornings of late, we got up and did our morning routine and headed off to church at NorthPointe Community Church. Prior to the beginning of the year, one of the goals we set was to go to church on a regular basis. We actually started working on this goal prior to the end of last year and have been attending about every other weekend. Pretty good since it almost seems that we have done in about two months what would have been a years worth of church the last couple of years.
Today there was a guest speaker from the congregation who told us about an event that had changed her life. Instead of just doing the minimum to be involved in the church, she decided to step out of her comfort zone and take on a position of leadership in one of the groups. She admits that the only reason she did this was because when the group met, it was her and one other person. Thankfully, she says, she took on the leadership role and it was to become a life changing event for her.
Her Message
On this morning we were to hear about an organization she has become involved with called World Vision, which is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice.
WorldVision.org is a charitable organization that has an outstanding reputation with lots of trust worthy associations.
WorldVision has a very broad mission, but today at church we were asked to help with a small part of its mission by sponsoring a child from a third world country. The goal for the church was to sponsor 80 children from a village in Africa. For a little more than a dollar a day, $35 a month, a child could be selected to be sponsored.
So is this sponsorship forever?
The WorldVision organization goes into villages in the remote areas and meets the people to include the leaders of the village. The leaders are asked to designate families with children that are in need. Funds are then provided for such things as clothes, food, clean water, shelter, schools..etc..
Children however, do not stay on the list forever, because funds are used to not only provide for essential daily living, but families are also helped to develop skills to become economically independent. Also if children leave the location of the sponsored village, they will be taken off of the sponsorship list.
When this happens, you will be offered the opportunity to sponsor a different child from either the same village, or an entirely different location.
Did We Choose to Sponsor a Child?
Our family chose to sponsor 1 child from Mozambique, because Lizzie and I were asked to sponsor this child by Lizzie’s daughter, who agreed to do extra chores for an extra allowance that would go toward the $35per month sponsorship cost.
We also thought that since Pixelheadonline has a regularly recurring monthly income, we would allow Pixelheadonline to sponsor a child as well. So if you are a member of this community, you have the honor of helping us to sponsor a child from Guatemala.
What is WorldVision’s Goal?
Sponsorship of over 6000 children who lose a parent every day due to aids is just the tip of the iceberg. Visit the site and and see what any number of their goals are, and you too will hopefully want to get involved.
Can Your Blog Sponsor a Child?
Wouldn’t it be cool if every blog was able to sponsor a child. Then all we would have to do is match up children with bloggers. How cool would that be.
Want to get involved or want more information?
Visit the World Vision website for more information and/or if you are ready to sponsor a child or would just like to make a one time donation.
Also, be sure to stop by World Vision’s blog, to read about one of their field opratives, Rory Anderson, and her adventures in the Congo.
What do you think?
Other than sponsoring several children(hopefully more in the future) this site has no other affiliation with WorldVision.org.
