Una separación de la unión amistosa como Respuesta a la Oración
10 de diciembre 2013
 Hola, Amigos
Como muchos de ustedes saben de las cartas anteriores Lyn, mi esposa de 34 años , había pedido el divorcio en el otoño de 2012 . Se trata de una actualización de su formalización jurídica y algunos aspectos excepcionalmente positivos de los activos que se dividen.

Lyn sugirió: " Me gustaría hacer como parte del acuerdo por escrito que aspiramos a mantenernos en contacto con las necesidades del otro. Y si uno de nosotros se convierte en la necesidad de que tratamos de ayudar a la otra.”

“¿Podríamos nombrar unos a otros como beneficiarios de nuestros activos? " Escribí Lyn.

Ella respondió: " Bueno, eso es algo que estoy dispuesto a hacer. "

Tenemos un pagaré por $ 16.000 en la que la persona se tambalea en pagar por ti. "Voy a asumir la responsabilidad por ello", Lyn se ofreció en nuestro encuentro con nuestro mediador abogado.

Una de mis mayores preocupaciones ha sido que si por casualidad Lyn muere yo tendría poca ingreso  mensual desde que no tengo una pensión. Aprendí y le dije a Lyn unas cuatro horas antes de una de nuestras reuniones de mediación con un abogado que si estábamos separados legalmente en lugar de divorciados que tengo derecho a una prestación de supervivencia pensión de $ 460 al mes .

 Luego, en la reunión Lyn respondió a mi preocupación, " Para aliviar la ansiedad de Jim, ya que ninguno de nosotros está involucrado con otra persona, yo estoy dispuesto a simplemente tener una " separación legal "en lugar de un divorcio.

Su respuesta trajo lágrimas a mis ojos. Eso me hizo sentir realmente importaba.

 Todo esto está escrito en nuestro acuerdo, que nos hizo oficial el 12 de noviembre.

Parece que Dios respondió a las muchas oraciones por nosotros en formas que no nos esperábamos. Este acuerdo, que ha ayudado a permanecer en una relación amistosa no sólo nosotros ayudará, pero también nuestras interacciones familiares. Gracias por sus oraciones .

Shalom ,


Jim

Hope in Iraq

By
Dear Friends, I have recently finished Peggy Gish’s book An Iraq Journey of Hope and Peace . It brought me to deep prayer at times, helping me to see US soldiers as human beings and breaking down some of my stereotypes of them. It also helped me experience the personal pain of Iraqis who are caught in the war as opposed to hearing statistics in the news. This was peacemaking taking place in my own heart and mind. Peggy’s honesty in sharing her own personal struggle and admitting her own mistakes is challenging to my own peacemaking. Another aspect of this book that was inspiring to me was that when CPTers in Iraq realized they were making a mistake in midst of sharing with Iraqis, they were able at times to change right then and there. This is clear evidence of the Spirit at work. It also gave me a sense of how God was able to use the seemingly small amount of people, just six or so, to make a significant difference for the good in this horrible situation. I am adding to this messag...

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...

An Army Visit

By
Dear Friend, “There must have been 40 or 50 soldiers from the Colombian Army who came through here. They accused Jorge, my son, of being an informer for the guerrillas. I was so scared. They took his picture and asked him a lot of accusing questions. I was afraid to let him go fishing like he often does. They were all around the house. I was afraid that if there was a confrontation with the guerrillas, bullets might hit any one of my children.” “They asked our first and last names and checked them, with lots of others from the community, against their list of supposed guerrilla sympathizers. We are not guerrilla sympathizers, but there is nothing we can do to convince them otherwise. They have guns, so I don’t argue with them. Someone must be singling us out. I was so scared that I called Pierre of CPT to let you all know about it. Then I was scared that they might be listening in on the call. Pierre said it is was ok and wondered why the army keeps using these fear and intimidation ta...
