Here's to the Crazy Givers

Here's to the crazy, generous givers of the world:

• To the billionaires a la Warren Buffett who will give away his billions before he dies;
• To those who give to "crazy ideas" when they know that humanly speaking it is impossible;
• To the $20 per month single mom living in the projects of Chicago who gives for someone more poor than herself;
• To the rich who give based on the net worth rather than their net income in a year;
• To those who know the answer to the question, "how much did he leave behind?" which is, "he left EVERYTHING behind;"
• To the pastors who reduce their salaries voluntarily so that more people can be blessed;
• To the cultural misfit religious institutions that only keep 10% of donations and give away 90%;
• To the coupon cutters who dropped the savings from the coupons in the Salvation Army container outside the store;
• To those who give anonymously and without fanfare - you know who you are!
