Rock stars get credit all the time because they know how to put on a good show.  I’ve seen some great concerts in my time, U2 being one of the best, and I’ll admit, a good rock star is fun to watch.  BUT, even more fun is when you get to meet rock stars in person, like yesterday at Antioch when I met Bailey and Brayden Meier.

They walked right up to me and put a sealed envelope in my hand.  Two words scribed in children’s writing said simply:

Matt | Haiti

Bailey told me in a super soft voice, “We want to help the kids in Haiti.”

I peeked in the envelope as she continued, “so me and my brother sold our hot wheels.”

Inside the envelope?

$70.00

$70.00 was deposited into an account today that will issue a check tomorrow to the World Relief Haiti fund.  $70.00 in Haiti right now will feed 70 people lunch and dinner.  140 meals.   Did you know the Hot Wheels in your house are worth 140 meals?  I didn’t - but Bailey and Brayden did, and now their contribution is blessing nearly a hundred people.

There is nothing more fun than rock stars putting on a good show - it just so happens the best show in town is happening right here around us - with people like Bailey and Brayden and their parents Sam and Darci.  Keep up the good work guys, it sure is fun to watch!
