The word came through today that a friend of a friend has lost everything in a house fire. Fortunately neither his wife, his child, nor himself was hurt, but they escaped with little more than the clothes on their backs. Some friends were putting together donations, and I was happy to contribute.
ONE GOOD DEED: Help out a friend who'd lost his home to a fire.

About Me
- B. T. Newberg
- I'm an author, editor, teacher, and husband. After living in Japan, Malaysia, and England, now I make my home in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with my wife and cat. Currently I edit Humanistic Paganism, a community blog for naturalistic spirituality.
My Other Blogs and Projects
Why is this not private?
I've gone public with this for two reasons. First, it holds me accountable. I'm more motivated to continue if others are watching. Second, it may inspire others. I encourage all to copy the concept and blog their own commitment. Imagine a whole community committed to good deeds.
What makes a good deed?
Everyone has different politics and opinions, hence different ideas about what makes a good deed. In the end, it is up to the conscience of the person performing the deed. No doubt many will disagree with my views at times. Comments to that effect are welcome, so long as they are constructive and free of abusive language.
