It is wonderful how you can find the humanity in a place that many assume to be inhumane. It reminded me that there are real people over there doing their best to hang on to their spiritual nature in the middle of the insanity of war. I know that you help them with that as you have helped me on several retreats.

And my life-long buddy is a recovering alcoholic who has been clean and sober for more than 22 years now. So we have some points of connection... in addition to being brothers in Christ. Hang in there, my brother/father, and come back to us soon.<BR/>--RandyRandy Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01843105602671033630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070802261765025433.post-91809424345632761522008-09-01T23:16:00.000-07:002008-09-01T23:16:00.000-07:00T, Glad to hear you've gotten outside the wire and...T, <BR/>Glad to hear you've gotten outside the wire and are starting to do the work that you have so wanted to do.
