Hey everyone! I guess you're going to make a donation then. Well, here's the thing--I don't really need the money.
"WHAT?!" you ask, "you don't want my money???"
Well, no.
You see, God has blessed me with a more fortunate life than, I believe, even 99.9% of people who have ever lived on this Earth have had. My parents are, and have always been, happily married. I have a wonderful younger sister. I live in one of the most free and privileged nations in the world (US). My family is, admittedly, wealthy enough that I have never been in any need. I have been gifted with a well-above average mind (this is gratitude, not pride), and have been able to attend one of the greatest universities in the world (Duke)!
Most of all, I have a God who has dared to call me his son, and by His terrible sacrifice, every desire of my soul is fulfilled. Thus to ask for anymore--as you can see--would be terribly selfish!
Please, I have enough, but there are many in this world who do not. I believe that God has given me a passion for software development (nerdy, I know, but God makes nerds too) to be used ultimately to serve Him and others.
Thus I ask you not to donate to me. Sure, send me an email if you like, but give to those who actually need it. Go to
