"Yes, no, I don't know..."
"It was in a business envelope with a window and addressed to the church so I opened it. It's for $(n),000"
We drove to church in a state of peaceful contemplation. It is hard to describe. It was kind of like the feeling you get watching home videos on TV. You see yourself and your family in the video, you know the story and what is happening but you can't interact with it, you only get to watch. As the video plays out, you smile (or cringe - depending on the video). But your at peace while you watch.
We get to church and Rich from WRVM radio hands me a check. I had revised their website for them and this was payment for my work.
Then Nicole (who ran the lemonade stands all summer) came up and gave me a fat envelope filled with cash.
Then after the service was done and the offering was counted, another $292 came in.
Then after we got home we discovered that another $(n),000 was donated
Peggy plugged the new numbers into her spreadsheet. All totaled, today we received $7,292. This does not count the donations from Nicole or the check from WRVM because we had known about them previously.
According to our current figures:
Total Fees Needed: $49,565.70
Total Amount Raised: $37,006.70
Total Remaining: $12,559.00
I am so pumped up. I can hardly stand it
