Not sure if it's ok to call a pastor a dude, but I did and hope you receive it as a blessing. Thanks for doing this. Litterally just stopped and prayed for you. You and your Mrs. are lovely people. Glad to have met you via the blog-o-shere (I'm Nancy Shaw's friend in the Seattle area - we spoke via one of your "live" chats a while ago). Just curious, while I know the fast has a very all important spiritual aspect, have you thought at all of what meal you will break the fast with? Healthy? Junk food?

How will they retire. Send kids to college? Ministry does not = the rest of us going about our business receiving their ministry while pastors have nothing. I think we are supposed to take care of them and honor them for their time of service towards we their flock. The stuff on TBN with all the pastor bling and ammusement park who ha, well, that is obviously out of balance and has done us no favors. But keeping pastors up with the standard of living, supporting them to be in homes, safe cars, med ins., etc., is in my opinion what we should strive for.

Loran used to live in Atlanta and attended your church with his family. I think he left just before you arrived. Anyway, Loran suggested I watch your adoption video as we adopted from china two years ago. Our daughter just turned 3. Here is the link to our web page (we are smurfs compared to your savey blogging skills - just pics and sentiments, but it still gives jist of our family): &lt;a href="http://www.ourforeverfamilyphotos.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.ourforeverfamilyphotos.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also, here is link to our gotcha day w/in our blog:&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://ourforeverfamilyphotos.blogspot.com/2005/11/gotcha-xoxoxoxo.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://ourforeverfamilyphotos.blogspot.com/2005...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;We too have two older kids.

Some say they don't want to miss out on a traditional body-birth experience. Having had the uber blessing of being able to deliver traditionally, as well as via adoption, I always let them know body-births and heart-births are the same thing. Our Gotcha day, the glorious day we held our baby girl from China, was as magical as the glorious day we delivered our boys traditionally. For as much as I love each of my children, celebrating their bents, helping them get to where God wants them to go, I have to admit their is a certain sense of longing associated with adoption that I am not sure I can explain. Can you help? Care to share your thoughts on body-birth's and heart-births?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;`Roxanne&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;PS: I am Loran's sister in-law. He told me about your site. He is as cool as you are. He had me watch your Korea video. I balled like a baby.

I just wanted to share it with you - feel free to add your thoughts to my questions above. Here it is:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A Poem: " The Wind Wispered..." &lt;br&gt;The wind wispered to the mother of our daughter's birth, "hide my child in your womb, keep her safe, and I will protect you and your baby from laws harsh and unfair". The mother shared her body with her baby, privately and in silence, but with a love from on high to protect her baby and give her a future she could not. On the day of her childs' birth she took her baby to a safe finding place in the early dawn, hiding to protect herself from prosecution for a gestation forbid by her government.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Vendors were preparing for travelers in the sunny, pretty, bright, clean and airy bus station. Vendors and travelers understood the birth mothers' angst, and in honor of the birth mothers' courage, lovingly took the baby to the sweet officer who carried the new child to the loving orphanage. The small, loving orphanage, full of sweet, tender care, placed the new baby in the arms of a loving foster family: a dad, a mom, a brother and sister, until the babys' forever family arrived.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Accross the ocean the wind spoke to the babys' forever family and said, "A baby in the east will be born of your heart, and you will bring her to the west to be with you, her forever family: a dad, a mom, two brothers, one doggie - the new baby will be yours, and you will be hers forever. The daddy and mommy told the wind they know a baby born of their body or hearts are one in the same, and with joy and glee they patiently waited for the day to arrive for their new baby girl to be in their arms.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now the baby is with her forever daddy and mommy - they ask the wind to bless, protect and honor the babys' birth mommy, and cannot wait to return home to the west with their baby born of their hearts to meet her brothers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The wind said, "I will be with you and protect you everyday and always, just as I do with you, your two sweet sons, I will do with your sweet daughter".</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">R.

In light of your abundance of question-answering-work ahead of you, I thought I'd take a little pressure off and do something out of the ordinary by answering my own question.

Updated: April 30, 2008, 7:40 PM &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - With two runners on base and a strike against her, Sara Tucholsky of Western Oregon University uncorked her best swing and did something she had never done, in high school or college. Her first home run cleared the center-field fence.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But it appeared to be the shortest of dreams come true when she missed first base, started back to tag it and collapsed with a knee injury. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;She crawled back to first but could do no more. The first-base coach said she would be called out if her teammates tried to help her. Or, the umpire said, a pinch runner could be called in, and the homer would count as a single. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then, members of the Central Washington University softball team stunned spectators by carrying Tucholsky around the bases Saturday so the three-run homer would count - an act that contributed to their own elimination from the playoffs. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Central Washington first baseman Mallory Holtman, the career home run leader in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, asked the umpire if she and her teammates could help Tucholsky. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The umpire said there was no rule against it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So Holtman and shortstop Liz Wallace put their arms under Tucholsky's legs, and she put her arms over their shoulders. The three headed around the base paths, stopping to let Tucholsky touch each base with her good leg. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"The only thing I remember is that Mallory asked me which leg was the one that hurt," Tucholsky said. "I told her it was my right leg and she said, 'OK, we're going to drop you down gently and you need to touch it with your left leg,' and I said 'OK, thank you very much."' &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"She said, 'You deserve it, you hit it over the fence,' and we all kind of just laughed." &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"We started laughing when we touched second base," Holtman said. "I said, 'I wonder what this must look like to other people."' &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"We didn't know that she was a senior or that this was her first home run," Wallace said Wednesday. "That makes the story more touching than it was. We just wanted to help her." &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Holtman said she and Wallace weren't thinking about the playoff spot, and didn't consider the gesture something others wouldn't do. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As for Tucholsky, the 5-foot-2 right fielder was focused on her pain. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"I really didn't say too much. I was trying to breathe," she told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Wednesday. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"I didn't realize what was going on until I had time to sit down and let the pain relax a little bit," she said. "Then I realized the extent of what I actually did." &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"I hope I would do the same for her in the same situation," Tucholsky added. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As the trio reached home plate, Tucholsky said, the entire Western Oregon team was in tears. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Central Washington coach Gary Frederick, a 14-year coaching veteran, called the act of sportsmanship "unbelievable." &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For Western Oregon coach Pam Knox, the gesture resolved the dilemma Tucholsky's injury presented. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"She was going to kill me if we sub and take (the home run) away. But at the same time I was concerned for her. I didn't know what to do," Knox said. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tucholsky's injury is a possible torn ligament that will sideline her for the rest of the season, and she plans to graduate in the spring with a degree in business. Her home run sent Western Oregon to a 4-2 victory, ending Central Washington's chances of winning the conference and advancing to the playoffs. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"In the end, it is not about winning and losing so much," Holtman said. "It was about this girl. She hit it over the fence and was in pain, and she deserved a home run." &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;COMMUNITY ON &lt;a href="http://www.FOXSPORTS.COM" rel="nofollow"&gt;www.FOXSPORTS.COM&lt;/a&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">R.

We did the same kind of things when we were young marrieds / getting our family started and established. There are still many, many luxeries we do not have that modern america has. It is also overwhelming to me the amount of money we spend on our teen kids, who are by all intents and purposes walking around with portable offices. I know this is all relative as we are guilty of much indulgence. But we take a lot of heat from folks on being so conservative. Compared to my childhood, what my kids have in my eyes is a lot, so it is funny to me when folks tease me for being a tight wad. For example, when we were kids our bed room was our bonus room. Kids went to their room to play - not a seperate great room. Likewise, we did not have personal cell phones (it wasn't on the market yet - I know, I'm old); rather, we simply used the family land line. And sometimes even dialed our numbers, as in litterally, dialed the number around the circle. Anyway, all that to say, I am really proud of you. We spent many years taking turns with our single car with one of us riding the bus and we are the better for it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Blessings,&lt;br&gt;Roxanne</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">R.
