Okay - here is a story from my cousin in Iowa...
Ok, today I was in Storm Lake hanging out with Sarah and her crew, and we went to grab some lunch to take back to her house. Ben wanted Taco Johns and the kids wanted Quiznos, which are located next door to one another, so we hit Taco Johns drive through and ordered lunch for Ben and then for ourselves, then we waited in line to get to the window, just chatting and enjoying the nice day. We got up to the window and the kid working said, "The guy in front of you paid for your meal already and said to give you this," and handed me a card that had a picture of the Ark on it and the words: ARK - Acts of Random Kindness, Pass It On! Remember, God Loves You!
Sarah and I were speechless. Well, actually, first I said, "What?!" and the kid repeated himself and then Sarah and I sat there with our jaws open for a few seconds before exclaiming about how cool that just was. Then we started talking about that is the sort of thing that you read about happening, but not something that happens to US. Seriously, it was the coolest feeling! And we were so touched that it motivated us to do exactly what the card says and "Pass it on!" So, I'd like to pose a challenge to our group: Do an ARK this week!! Rules: do something nice for someone you do not know and in such a way that they do not have a chance to thank you (like the person who had pulled away from the Taco Johns by the time we figured out what had happened).
So I'm going to make it my goal to do an ARK once a week and I'm challenging you all to do the same.

That's cool, I've heard of people doing that kind of thing. I'm going to try it, I don't know about once a week. It might be kind of tough.
