I have been heartened by the response to FT’s fundraiser to help defray its costs to host the many First Things blogs. It is doing so in a manner that offers real value for the buck. If you go to this link, you can subscribe to First Things magazine for only $19.95 a year. The promo code for this offer is “SHS.” That’s half off rate, a real value for very little money—one might even call it a bargain and a half! Anyone who just wants to make a small (or large) donation without (or in addition to) subscribing, can hit this link.
Again, none of the money raised goes to me. Thank you. I am honored to be one of the FT blogs and appreciate any assistance you choose to give.
