Jeff and I hosted a Fall Festival this week. Pumpkin desserts, candy corn, apples with caramel dip, cider...YUM! The fall themed party was an advocacy event for Compassion International. (www.compassion.com) We had everyone guess the number of corn kernels in the glass jars shown in the picture. While we didn't count every kernel, we made a solid mathematical estimate...10500 kernels. This is the number of kids that died due to hunger and malnutrition from the time our guests woke up until they arrived at our house for the party (14.5 hours). OK, so that isn't exactly a 'fun fact' that gets a party started. But, it did give us a better perspective of the world and thankful hearts for our food and nutrition.
