Dancing... or drinking through life
I am not even sure that I know how to do a link anymore. I'm giving it a shot though so, three readers, please forgive me if I mess this up.

Back...
I'm back here at JWalking after a bit of time because I just want someplace to record thoughts from time to time. I doubt that many of the thoughts will be political - there are plenty upon plenty of people offering their opinions on everything political and I doubt that I have much to add that will

Learning to tell a story
For the last ten months or so I've been engaged in a completely different world - the world of screenwriting. It began as a writing project - probably the 21st Century version of a yen to write the great American novel - a shot at a screenplay. I knew that I knew nothing about the art but was inspir

And just one more
I have, I think, just one more round of chemo left.
When I go through my pill popping regimen tomorrow morning it will be the last time for this particular round of drugs. Twenty-three rounds, it seems, is enough.
What comes next? We'll go back to what we did after the surgery. We'll watch and measu

Although I trusted, and trust, Compassion International, it is reassuring that you are there to fill us in on what they are doing. I have sponosored a child for years and just kind of hoped that what C-I said they were doing was actually happening.
And David, how about challenging “God’s Politics” readers to sponsor a child through Compassion International?

Can we count the one I sponsored yesterday? It wasn’t Valentine’s Day, but I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day and I sponsored immediately after reading your previous post about Susan. Franco from Tanzania.

Now that I think about it, it was February 14 in Uganda and Tanzania when I sponsored Franco. forty-nine to go.

David, it is wonderful to hear first hand how this program helps. I just started sponsoring a child a couple of months ago through another program, which I hope is equally effective. His name is Xhuljan and he lives in Albania. He has such beautiful intense eyes. I look forward to getting to know him. I wish I could take on another child, but I will definitely forward this and link to it. Happy Valentine’s day to you all and blessings!

I marvel at God’s awesome way of engaging people in HIS work here on earth ! Such a blessing how all of you are vividly portraying in words how your lives will forever be changed with what you are seeing/experiencing as it has already changed mine. I sponsored Brian today(Uganda)and will passionately promote to others.
I could hardly wait to read new entries each day from all the J – bloggers . . .
YOU ARE ALL AN ENCOURAGEMENT AND A BLESSING ! THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Just wanted to let you know I just signed up to sponsor a child in Rwanda. I had thought about doing this in the past, but just was never thinking about it at the right time. Your blog was what it took. Thank you. IT’S A GIRL!
