    Whoa Tim, now I’m starting to get worried about you- no digging or straying off paths life I might have.
    I have been watching, for weeks, the Vietnam War
    Chronicles, by Walter Cronkite and it’s terrible to think that children still have to fear for their lives from the aftermath of the war.
    Please walk with my prayers mind!

      Glad you can use it. Looks like I’ll be teaching about Asia, too!

    Leaving our bubble of awareness is a challenge, a gift, and a necessity for all.

    The USA is responsible for so much suffering in third world countries since Dwight Eisenhower took office. I was just watching an Oliver Stone documentary about American history most American’s don’t know about.
