Only in Hinsdale

Tonight we had our annual "Kick Back and Give Back" concert for Young Life. High School kids (talented ones at that) play music, we raise money for Guatemala Young Life. I had the job of collecting money at the door. $5 per person. One sophomore boy walks in and says, "I'm paying for four," and proceeds to hand me a $100 bill. I look at him and say, "do you need change?" He takes it back and says, "my bad, wrong bill." He rifles through his wallet and hands me a $20.

Only in Hinsdale.

(The concert raised $433.00 for our friends in Guatemala...that equals 3,377 Quetzales...a lot of rice and beans or whatever else they want to use it for. Praise God for the generosity and community of tonight!)
