Donating Blood

Whenever I donate blood, it is another way in which God connects me with the rest of humanity.  One donation can help up to three people.  That is impressive.  I was never big into giving blood and didn't have a good reason not to donate.  I am glad I was finally convicted into donating.  It takes about an hour to an hour and a half, but most of that time is waiting and processing.  Typically, the blood donation part of it is less than 15 minutes (some get it done in 5 minutes--drink plenty of water!!!).
