Oprah Inspires Giving

Tara and I have been watching the new reality show that Oprah created called the "Big Give". We started watching it because one of the contestants attends my parents church. Anyway, we're not big fans of reality TV, but this show seems to be one of the best concepts I've come across. The idea is that each week the contestants are given a challenge to "Give Big" to people in need. Sometimes it means raising money for a family that lost their father in a store robbery or cleaning a garage for a family that adopted 26 special needs children. The intention of the show is to challenge and inspire people to reach out and help their fellow man. We hope it continues.

In our first week home with little Karis, we turned on the latest episode of Oprah's show. About halfway through the show, Karis became inspired and decided to give big in the only way she knows how. Let's just say she gave to overflowing... Unfortunately, a simple diaper change was insufficient and Karis had her first unplanned sponge bath as a result. Thanks a lot Oprah!
