BTW, I took a look at your blog and really enjoyed some of the posts. I liked your comment about God never saying “This woman doesn’t listen. I’m never talking to her again!” (Or words to that effect.) Now if only I could be that patient myself.

I also have a mildly amusing World Vision story. (Saw your post about supporting a girl through them.) Years ago, I saw a World Vision special about Somalia and decided I wanted to go work there. So I sent them my resume. A few weeks later, I got a call to see if I would be willing to go work in a refugee camp in the Philippines. A few weeks after that, I found myself working in the Philippines.

It wasn’t until after I had been overseas a while that I realized the agency I was working for wasn’t the same one I’d seen on TV. I was working for World Relief, not World Vision. Turns out World Vision had forwarded my resume to World Relief, which was an entirely different organization. (I thought I’d just mis-remembered the name, not that they were two separate entities.) Anyway, it turned out all right.

Have a lovely day,

Another Dylan song, requested by Kevin, who’s been a big help setting up this blog, and who wrote:

Was reading through your blog this morning. You really are doing a great job… keep putting the good content up…

You have your pick of videos:

This one is the original video:

And this one is from a live performance. Dig those pants! They look like the pants on J in the Jimmy Buffet, Come Monday, video…I useta wear them! They were much cooler then, than the resurrected look not too long ago. We were way cool!

Gordon tells me this is one he thinks a lot about.

For Gordon and the rest of us…

I’m making Gordon retroactive-Reader of the day, since I hadn’t started that category yet.

You have a clever way of getting one to read your blog. You are so busy on this thing, hope many are reading it… Now on to music, which is big in your blog. Nicely done. I always liked Paul Simon & Sting, but amongst other artists. Paul & Gordon–Sting to all the non-Gordons of the world–are more & more of interest to me. The music is so amazing(& you can dance to it, ala the old American Bandstand rating system on that show), but the lyrics are so layered that I go back to them over & over. Check out this Paul Simon song…So what is the song about, Boomers? IA? Who knows… but I hear it and get a lot out of it. I could probably put out a bunch of other special lyrics by Simon & by Sting as well. People hear what they want to hear (almost like the line from ‘The Boxer’). Anyway, Nice Blog.
