Hello Friends,                  Your Prayers and My Mission  September 3, 2013

  What do you do?”  “I work for the chiropractor who has this booth.”  “ You’re a chiropracter?”  

“No, I am his helper.  Would like to sign up for a free adjustment?”

“No, I don’t live here.  I work at peacemaking, working to end war. I have a booth here. I give

out a pamphlet that tells how you can help do that by writing to President Obama, and your

senator and your representatives with one click . Would you like one? Sure! Come visit me

around the corner.


What do you do when you are not here?” “I am mom, I have 3 kids.”  “Being a good parent to

children  is important peace work, too, to create a future society of peace.”

Thus went one of many conversations .

Here I’m  sharing about peace with several women at my booth.

 I gave out over 500 pamphlets in the five days I was there. As I reflected about  the  many

conversations  I had I  sensed your  prayers  for my mission were fulfilled.   Thank you for your

every prayer. God was listening and acting through your prayers to use you and me each to do a

part to bring justice and peace.

My mission is to Grow Peace internationally and locally by

instilling Hope through:

•        Raising awareness of God’s actions for justice and peace through CPT

• Inspiring people to act and pray.

• Modeling reconciliation, friendship, understanding, and compassion.

• Engaging in conversations that seek common ground.

In regard to Lyn and my separation: considering all matters things are going  about as well as

can be hoped for.  Pray we can end with an amicable settlement for us and all our family.

Shalom to you this day,

 Jim

informe de salud

By
  Queridos amigos, Les escribo para informarles que hace unas semanas me diagnosticaron Parkinson vascular. Tenía problemas para mantener el equilibrio y caminar. Vi a un neurólogo y me hicieron una resonancia magnética de mi cerebro, y a partir de eso y de mi historial, me diagnosticaron Parkinson vascular. Me siento muy bien con mi doctora. Mi Parkinson Vascular es causado por mini accidentes cerebrovasculares que bloquean la sangre en la parte del cerebro que controla la marcha. El Parkinson vascular afecta principalmente a la parte inferior del cuerpo, y por lo tanto, afecta la marcha y el equilibrio y regularmente no suele provocar temblores. Es diferente del Parkinson clásico que es causado por la falta de dopamina. El tratamiento principal para el Parkinson vascular es tratar de detener los accidentes cerebrovasculares manteniendo bajo control factores como la presión arterial y el colesterol; esto puede evitar que la enfermedad progrese. Por lo tanto, no necesariamente empe...

An Incredible Prime Minister

By
           An Incredible Prime Minister     Dear Friends, a hopeful happening,                  Two years ago, Ethiopia was a basket case. The government seemed to be losing control The majority Oromo people were restive under a rule that seemed to rob them of their place. The traditionally powerful Amhara rioted. A state of emergency brought silence on the surface, but underneath the nation seethed. Civil war threatened. A foreigner was killed. Tourism waned. Finally, the prime minister resigned. The church prayed earnestly. Then, unexpectedly, eight months ago, the relatively unknown Abiy Ahmad was elected prime minister. What followed was equally unanticipated. In a bold, courageous acceptance speech; Ahmad announced a policy of peace, love and unity for the nation and its relationships with the rest of the world. He made sweeping promises and, to...

Fear and the Corona Virus

By
Dear Friends,                                        Fear and the Corona Virus In some self-reflection I have come to see that I have been unconsciously enveloped in a fear over the coronavirus pandemic. I feel paralyzed and hopeless. I noticed I feel I just have to turn the radio on to keep up on what is happening. Each time I hear more figures on how it is getting worse everywhere in the world, it fills my mind, the focus of much of what I think about. When I came to see this was happening, I noticed I wanted to just turn on the radio, and it was and is hard to turn it off. Just about everything on the radio was related to the virus. In reflecting I realized this subconscious fear permeated me. This fear was not healthy. It was creating anxiousness and anxiety, and anything but peace and contentment. This fear was what I needed to get rid of. From a Dr. Bruce Lipton...
