There's Still Time To Register for This Weekend's Virtual Retreat!
John Lynch, KaKa Ray, and Nate Larkin LIVE! Plus highlights from the in-person retreat, live small group interaction, Andy Gullahorn concert, Tom Moucka's "State of the Society," and a special presentation you won't want to miss. Register HERE. Rumor clarification: just after he arrived at the Annual Retreat, our featured speaker, John Lynch, found out he had been exposed to Covid the night before. Since Tom Moucka drove him to the retreat, out of an abundance of caution, both of them returned home in order not to become "super spreaders." Both have since successfully self-quarantined.

Matching Gift= Double Your Gift
We have been blessed with a Matching Gift of $50,000.00! To date, we have raised $4,974.00 toward that goal. This is an opportunity of which we simply MUST take advantage. The matching donor has agreed to extend the deadline from Dec. 1 to Dec. 31 in order to include year-end giving. Guys, please consider a sacrificial gift equal to the benefit you have gained from Samson Society. If you have realized significant gains in the stock market this year, you can give a gift of appreciated stock without impacting your monthly budget. Just email Chris Rosenhahn at New Horizons (our contributions processor) and he will walk you through the process. You will receive a charitable tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock and you will not have to pay capital gains tax on the appreciation. If you can make a special gift toward the match, Donate HERE. How will we use the match? Much needed administrative help, web development, improved SEO, improved onboarding platform, Silas training, improved Slack experience, and hopefully a post-Covid coast-to-coast community development road trip. |

Secondary Addictions
A fellow Pirate Monk writes, "I got into Samson Society six years ago to deal with porn addiction, and as I got healthier, I discovered it wasn't my only bad habit - I was also a compulsive gambler." Our experience is, the Samson Society community can help brothers with multiple addictions. If you have discovered you have a gambling addiction and would like to join a Slack channel dedicated to gambling recovery, email Larry at riskman1@gmail.com.

Prayer of St. Anselm
O my God, teach my heart where and how to seek You,
where and how to find You.
You are my God and You are my all and I have never seen You.
You have made me and remade me,
You have bestowed on me all the good things I possess,
Still, I do not know You.
I have not yet done that for which I was made.
Teach me to seek You.
I cannot seek You unless You teach me
or find You unless You show Yourself to me.
Let me seek You in my desire,
let me desire You in my seeking.
Let me find You by loving You,
let me love You when I find You.
Amen
(from Graham J on Slack)

NOTE re: Donations By Check
Beginning January 1, 2021, Samson House will no longer process contributions by physical check at our Franklin, TN location. ALL contribution processing will be done by our contribution processor, New Horizons. Not only is this an effective outsourcing of a critical administrative task, but it also streamlines our 501-C-3 accounting to the IRS. You can donate HERE from now on. |
