I have adopted two boys from Haiti. Both are mentally handicapped. One is is now 20, the other 18. I divorced my wife of 28 years a few years ago and have just remarried, a woman from Belize. I find beauty in many things... many, many things (nature, art, people, space...) and that helps me to survive my deep empathy for so many who suffer. I like to write, and I've written quite a bit on my blogs. I have been thinking about writing a book. Unsure if it should be about the things I have experienced, or fiction (I have an interesting plot line worked out). I'm pretty open about things. I like blended whiskey, but I never have more than two drinks... usually just one, and not often at that. I have had many adventures. Makes me a little different. (Odd?)
When Job's three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite, heard about all the troubles that had come upon him, they set out from their homes and met together by agreement to go and sympathize with him and comfort him. When they saw him from a distance, they could hardly recognize him; they began to weep aloud, and they tore their robes and sprinkled dust on their heads. Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him, because they saw how great his suffering was.
THIS IS INCREDIBLE! I wish I could nominate if for some kind of award. Since I can't (at least not that I know of) I linked to it today on Prodigal Daughter. Thank you so much for doing it!

PS I re-found you through Crockpot Faith, don't know if you even remember me but I am glad to see you again.
This is very, very moving. Like squirrel, I am moved to tears by every memory of 9/11. I don't recall, other than the death of my wife, any greater heartache. +JMJ+ John

Wow! That was really good. You are a true artist :)
It was a heartbreaking day. I still cannot watch a movie about it, even after 6 years it is just too fresh a pain.
Awesome job on the vid!

Both you and the video.
