2013 at C4K!!!
To All of Our Supporters:
As we begin a new year it is only natural to look back and evaluate the passed year. Here at Computers for Kids of America we are extremely fortunate to look back and see a year filled with successful endeavors in helping increase the access to vital technology for those in need. We have been able to help underprivileged children learn how to use computer technology, we have been able to help soon to be released prisoners learn new skills to help them transition into their new lives, and we have been able to help countless schools replace equipment that was damaged by Super Storm Sandy. We have been able to help these people and these organizations because of the time, effort, and generosity of all of you; our contributing partners, tireless volunteers, and continuing supporters.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support and to remind everyone that there is still a lot of "good" in this world and it manifests itself through people and organizations like you and yours who are committed to helping improve the human experience for those in need. 2013 is already filled with big commitments to building charter schools, community centers and our work with Super Storm Sandy renewal. If you are retiring old equipment or need to free up space where it is stored in your business, school or hospital let us know and we will be right out to pick it up.
We trust that you enjoyed your holidays and have a happy, healthy, and safe New Year and please feel free to reach out to me if there is anyway we can help you or those around you this winter.
Thank You,
Michael Welsh

Distractions Abound
Today's Scripture
"Come near to God and he will come near to you." James 4:8 NIV
Thoughts for Today
Are you in a tug of war between your own agenda and God's plan for you? This week we will be looking at some ways to escape life's distractions and grow closer to God.
Life can slowly separate us from intimacy with God. Today there seems
to be more than ever to distract us from the pursuit of a close personal
relationship with him. We often find ourselves torn between our agenda
and his desires for us. Guarding the inner fire—the passion for
Christ—is a great challenge of the twenty-first century.
Consider this …
Think about it. What are some things in your life that prevent you from
drawing closer to God? All-consuming distractions like being overloaded
with e-mails, cell phones and hours on the freeway? Pleasing bosses,
shuttling kids, trying out new gadgets? Hours on the golf course or in
front of the TV? Perhaps even serving in the church? There is nothing
wrong with any of these activities—unless we allow them to distract us
from our personal relationship with God.
If you truly want to do things God's way and have a closer relationship
with him, take an honest look at your priorities. Admit to God that you
have allowed busyness or other distractions to take your eyes off him.
Ask for his forgiveness and his help in making him first in your life.
Prayer
Father, I know I sometimes let the busyness of the day interfere with
my relationship with you. Sometimes I find time for everything else
except my quiet time with you. Sometimes I get so focused on other
things throughout the day that I forget you are right there with me.
Please forgive me. Please help me make you first in my life. In Jesus' name …
A Passionate Pursuit of God: Drawing Nearer to Himby
Dr. Mike Chapman. This study teaches participant how to move into God's
inner circle, how to listen for the voice of God, how to enjoy the
freedom of worship, and how to embrace the mission of worship. This
45-minute format will accommodate groups with limited meeting times.
Note: This curriculum was written especially for small groups and we
encourage people to use it that way. However, it can also be used
effectively as a personal study for individuals or couples.

This is it, Joseph.
In just a few hours, it'll be midnight, and we'll be out of time to meet our end-of-year fundraising goals.
If you believe our children should be educated about the dangers of substance abuse, you need to step up and make it happen -- no one's going to do it for you.
Make a tax-deductible donation to the Partnership right now.
Thank you for all you've done this year.
Best,
Steve Pasierb
