AN UNEXPECTED BLESSING
Much of the news Monday centered upon Senator Bayh announcing that he did not intend to run for re-election. Yay!! Barbara called me before I heard it on the radio. Nothing else I could write would hold a candle to this so I’ll just bring you some links that I think you may appreciate.

Some months ago I had mentioned to Alex that Brian and I might be able to do the last 100 kilometers of the pilgrimage in Spain. I think now it will be maybe 2011 before we do anything like that. Alex kept my inquiry and here is his recent response:

Hello Linden,

I hope the New Year has entered with health and happiness. Happy 80th as well!

Just a quick note to see if you might join us in 2010 on the Camino de Santiago – we’d love to have you on the trail! If I may be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Saludos from Spain,

Alex

LINDEN'S LIFE
More snow! I was up early, went to two stores and the post office and then spent the remainder of the day holed up inside. Nice talk with Brian and emails from Julie.

GOOD WORKS
Thanks to those who purchased books or a CD or donated to the effort, we were able in 2009 to provide, through IDES, two goats, a water buffalo, and a fishing boat with net to needy families in third world countries.

In 2010 we will diversify this area of our good works. New recipients are:

January, TCM, Austria, ministry scholarship. http://www.tcmi.org/
February, local need, not part of original plan.
February, Hillsdale College. www.hillsdale.edu

The Book Nook, 33 E. Main, Mooresville is a local source of Linden’s books and CD.

Feel free to make others aware of this blog and our efforts.
