AND THEN A FISHING BOAT?
No politics today except for the link re Obama strong-arm tactics: a really must read link.

You long term readers may remember that early in the year Linden said that he would use a portion of his book sales income to better the life of unfortunates through IDES (International Disaster Emergency Service.) In March he funded two goats for a needy family in Haiti. Earlier in August, he funded the purchase of a water buffalo for the needy in Southeast Asia. Now, he hopes, in the remaining months of this year, to fund the purchase of a fishing boat and net for wherever IDES thinks the need is greatest.

Linden’s “PRAYERS ANSWERED AT HAUS EDELWEISS,” a new release, will be one of the eight books and one lonely CD to help in that fishing boat and net funding goal. Here is a copy of a flyer outlining the first public sales effort:

INFORMATION:
Linden Swift will introduce his eighth book, Prayers Answered At Haus Edelweiss, at a book signing at Secondhand Stories, 55 S. Raceway Road from 1:00 to 4:00 Saturday, September 5. All eight of Swift’s books plus a CD of his music will participate in a storewide sale. Store phone number: 271-2500.

Acting on an idea from his Sunday school class, he diverts a portion of sales income to support IDES. In March, he funded two goats for the needy in Haiti and in August he funded a water buffalo for a person in Southeast Asia. He hopes to further fund a fishing boat and net for someone, somewhere in the closing months of 2009.

LINDEN'S LIFE:
Friday was Men’s Prayer Breakfast at 6:00. Running around included a trip to Secondhand Stories. Talked to Brian and Julie.

The highlights of Saturday were two sessions at church helping to package foodstuffs to send to Haiti. There were about 200 people working in each of the four shifts. My first shift was very tiring: I, standing up and working quickly helped to box the foodstuffs. My second shift was much easier: worked a heat sealer while sitting down. At the end of the day, a semi trailer was practically full. What at blessing this will be for the recipients!

Sunday started with church and Sunday school services and not much else of note.

ADVERTISEMENT 2:
Linden’s book “AN OLD MAN ON THE ST. JAMES WAY” ($6.95) addresses Linden’s thoughts and activities when, as a 75 year old, he crosses Northern Spain on the ancient pilgrimage trail.

“BOUT FIRTEEN COUNTRY CHILDERN RIMES” ($3.00) reminiscent of James Whitcomb Riley, these 20 poems with illustrations address the lives of four-year-old twins. It is written as they may speak.

Now that Linden’s 2009 sales have financed two goats and a water buffalo for some of the needy in the world, his next goal is to fund the purchase of a fishing boat and net. Order at:
