A new year, a new plan

For me, the beginning of this plan came with a New Year's contest between me and Heidi. I told her my New Year's resolution was to not argue with her, so she proposed a contest: me not arguing with her versus her making dinners at home other then Friday night and Sunday after church. The first one to fail would lose. Sounded great to me, because I was looking for ways for us to spend less money and eat healthier. But what to do with that extra money? I assumed we would save it, but honestly would it really be saved? Despite our best intentions it would probably get spent on something else that we really didn't need. When Heidi suggested that we take the money and save it for a well, I thought it was a great idea! We already have so much that we don't need anything more. Compare that to the people we will be helping, who don't even have the basic need of clean water. What better use can we put that money towards?
