Mission: Bolivia

Mission: Bolivia is a money bomb request Facebook support page whose goal is to send a teacher to Bolivia to instruct High School youth at a Christian mission center. I have met the teacher, and she is wonderful. Due to a time schedule that compressed unexpectedly (and not the way our economic outlook is 'unexpected'), she needs to raise more money, more quickly, than originally anticipated.

Please share the link, and support if you can. We would like to raise $25,000 in two weeks. $1 or all of it...whatever you are willing to do. Please share the link.

Pax,

Newbius

ETA: The monetary support is requested, the Facebook status updates are real, and the goal is worthy. And, yes, I have pledged my own money to the cause first before asking anybody else to join me.

Prayers and well-wishes requested

Brigid is ill with rapid-onset pneumonia. She is improving, but sending up some smoke on her behalf couldn't hurt.

Another end to another era

Breitbart reports that Representative John Murtha (D-PA) has died. Murtha was 77.

Murtha was a veteran, and served honorably during wartime. He represented his district in the manner he thought was best. His death will leave another power vacuum in the House, and politics abhors a vacuum. I'll save the snark for later.

Godspeed, and rest in peace.
