Christmas With a Capital C

I respect the rights of other people with other religions - however - in turn - I expect them to respect my rights and not be offended when I say "Merry Christmas"

Wanna feel good inside... giving is the way to go...

and this is way better than regular on-line shopping...

check out this website link to Kiva.org to find a new way to support those in need in our world...

There are many ways to give - but these are micro-loans that let you get your money repaid and able to be given again - WOW! now I can be a micro-lender to give a micro-loan...

There was so much traffic on the page today that it took me forever to get in when I decided to register! They use PayPal to send the money and you can check the status of each loan anytime. They also have an RSS feed for their blog and I have been fascinated by the stories and pictures. Where have I been, that I missed seeing this on the news! People lending to people!

If you have time, check out the documentary that spread this news a year ago at FRONTLINE/World called Uganda - A Little Goes a Long Way. In one year they have spread from Unganda to 11 other countries.

Washing Osama's Feet...


Can you stretch your heart and pray? "Father, forgive Osama. He doesn't know what he's doing."

If this image makes you want to dig deeper into your soul...

check out Greg Boyd's blog for background info and more links...

The truth hurts... I am still honking at that guy who cut me off at the light... so I have a long way to go.
