Since I retired, I give of my time. Right now, we are selecting partner families for next year for Habitat for Humanity. Advent begins tomorrow, so I will be busy over Christmas doing things at the church. I have a mission trip in a week down to Louisiana. I will probably be secretary for the local volunteer fire department next year. With my back problems, I can't run fire or rescue calls any more, so it's the least I can do. I don't try to add up the amount of time, as I figure that God has a handle on that, and will allot me what He thinks I need.
We also give to the church and up our pledge this year. We have what we need, so it is not going to be a burden to give a bit more. My wife and I also donate to our respective colleges, not a lot, but enough to keep them calling us. As for phone solicitations, never. The ones that call in the name of fire and rescue really get an earful from me. To my mind, they are poaching on the local fire department's territory, and I hate poachers.
