[...] I’ve mentioned briefly before Jamie & my recent collision with organized religion and how, through the bad, it did bring about great good. [...]

Thanks to you both. Between my English and my French, I did pretty well get the jist of Zim’s comment. I don’t think of it as noble, however, just giving back some of the good things that have come to me; energy/karma/whatever works much better when the flow runs both ways. But I do appreciate your appreciation! k.

It’s a quasi literal translation: Your deeds are noble.

Giving, in whatever way we might find appropriate, is one of those ways in which we make ourselves part of a community, whichever that one may be.
There is one charity group I find absolutely amazing (of course I’m not being objective here), it’s http://www.donorschoose.org. This is a charity where every penny you give goes to where it’s needed. It’s for public schools, and teachers list what they need and what those things are needed for, and you, as a donor, buy it for them. It’s amazing because you see where your money is going to since they send you the result of their project. And it’s for here, public schools that can’t give kids materials and so you do… amazing feeling if I may so myself.
