    Add twenty-two more dollars and sponsor the next child you blog about from Compassion.

    Or use it to pre-pay for an advance copy of of MCD.

    Take it and my knitting to my favorite local coffee shop (it’s called Monk’s) and get coffee to drink while I sit and knit.

    Put gas in my Jeep, it might be able to go 12 miles on that!

    It would go in my wallet, where I keep no cash, and eventually get spent on fast food and/or a tasty beverage at the gas station during my 3pm breaks.

    Say thanks and stick it in my pocket to wash it later

    Actually, give it to my cousin for her run for diabetes because I embarrassingly was only able to give her $10.

    I would take someone who i have been wanting to mentor out for coffee.

  17. lynse leanne Avatar

    well, someone who has asked me to mentor them and i just havent had the time….i would make the time and treat them.

  18. Crystal Renaud Avatar

    first, i’d ask you why you’re giving it to me… but then i’d probably just give it away.

  19. jon Avatar

    and if the question were asked of you anne? say i just gave the $10 back…what would you do with it…?

  20. Monica Brand Avatar

    maybe ask for more. I’m a bit bold that way.

    Save ten or eleven babies’ lives by providing them and their mothers with a dose of nevirapine at birth to prevent mother-to-infant transmission of HIV. And I’d do it through Global Strategies:

    I guess my answer is selfish since I wasn’t thinking of saving people…or feeding someone…bummed. I was thinking add a few bucks to it and buy some new cheap,snazzy shoes. I also heart a Milkyway if I have change left.

    Anne,

    I’d buy 10 lemon bars, hide in the office supply closet, and eat EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM…

    Dang I’m hungry…

  24. Jenni Clayville Avatar

    Ask you for more money.

    What??? Since you’re just handing it out…

    :)

    I feel like there is a right answer but I would probably hit Weight Watchers and get some 2 point bars

  26. Brian Alexander Avatar

    Probably play Poker with my bros.

  27. Chuck Harris Avatar

    gas? :)

  31. ally simpson Avatar

    exchange it for pounds sterling and effectively cut its value in half in the process!

    can you imagine how much money my bro just saved on the macbook he bought the other day in Indianapolis

  32. Dave Anderson (moviepastor) Avatar

    Add 50 cents to it and buy 3 gallons of gas. *sigh* Then I would spend the rest of the year wondering why you gave it to me so you would probably get a Christmas card with a gift card inside for $10.00 because I couldnt think of any better way to say thank you.

    I saw the post you apparently deleted in my RSS reader – I knew this was a spiritual test and I failed it badly and wasnt even funny when I did it. I suck.

    I’d give it to Zac Favazza, this 10 yr old at my church who loves God more than most adults I know.

  35. Michael Johnson Avatar

    I would give it to the guy on the corner holding a sign that says please help me – God Bless, I would give it to the single parent barely making it, I would buy some food for the shelter, I would use it to match what my daughters raised/gave so that they start to understood that they can make a difference in the world, in a nut shell, I would do what God told me to do with it.

    First, I’d tithe a tenth but would have a big huge THANK you HOMEMADE card and encourage your day for being so very thoughtful. Evidentally you saw a need in my life because you have awesome unconditional love. Yes, I do have a need to leave a Server a good tip.
