LINDEN’S LEGACY

After helping to fund more than a dozen successful “Bless A Stranger” projects I decided to allow strangers and friends to attempt to fund my own birthday project. This is the project that failed. Particulars are located at:

My “Ireland Is Calling” fundraising effort failed to reach the goal of extending my planned visit of a week or ten days to maybe three weeks or so. Therefore, I received no funding. I HAVE THE GREATEST SUPPORT! If my cost estimate of $200.00 per day is accurate, I can now stay three days longer than my budget will probably allow. I continue to receive blessings!

COMMENTARY: HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

It may be that the media focus on the negative has caused Linden to adopt a sometimes negative view of current events. Saturday should have gone a long way to cure that. For the first time ever being one of the judges at an American Legion zone oratorical contest occupied much of my day. Two home schooled students brought tears to my eyes as they presented their views on our constitution. Each one was absolutely fabulous and it was very difficult to consider one of them a winner in the competition. To learn more, go to www.legion.orgoratorical/resources  and view a video of previous competition and associated material. The Legion is a blessing to me.

MOSTLY ABOUT ME       lswift8@aol.com

Friday started with the early morning Men’s Prayer Breakfast. Recently one of the postal clerks told me that she was going to put coal in my P.O. box to call attention to me not sharing sweets that I receive. Today there was a little bag of great chocolates labeled, “Coal” in the box. I accused her but she denied being responsible. I like my post office.

On Saturday, heavy snowfall caused my scheduled breakfast to be canceled. At 11:00, Richard picked me up and we went to the Legion Post in Brownsburg for him to oversee the zone oratorical contest and for me to serve as one of the judges. It was a wonderful, emotional experience for me. Had a nice visit with Marsha, one of the other judges. Terry brought me home where I was pretty well done for the day.

Sunday brought church and Sunday school attendance followed by brunch with friends. Then a moderately busy time at home before watching I.U. win a basketball game.

REMEMBER

The democrats brought you Obamacare.

Obama, Reid, and Pelosi lead the forces of evil.

Hate crime laws should be overturned.

Baseline budgeting is a taxpayer insult.
