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

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 the surprise of a world cynical of political promises, kept them. “We need friction but not hatred, argument but not insult,”

"The Repairman's Mother In-law"

By
Dear Friends, "My mother in-law Nellie read that Peace Pilgrim booklet you gave me. She was very moved by it, and she would like to read more by Peace Pilgrim. Do you have any thing else? And she would like to talk to you too," our repairman excitedly said to me. I responded, "I don't have any thing else by Peace Pilgrim, but you can give her this book Restorative Justice by Howard Zehr." Later I got to talk to Nellie. Nellie then shared, "Oh yes, that was really inspiring. We have to build peace person by person and house by house by the way that we relate to and treat each other. What Peace Pilgrim has to say is very important. And I really like the book Restorative Justice that I am now reading. I especially like to read stuff like that." I responded, "When you get that one finished, I can loan you another book!" The political saga continues in Barranca. A prominent Catholic priest, Padre Francisco, a close consultant to the Mayor, who is

informe de salud

  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 empeorar
