1 Peter 3:13-22

Wine into clean water for those war-torn and developing nations. Fundraisers with wine parties.

In memory of Captain Benjamin Sklaver. I went through Civil Affairs mobilization qualification course with this guy. I remember working out with him at Golds Gym. I never knew he had left such a mark, with founding an organization that delivers clean water to humanitarian emergencies in places like Uganada.

Mountain climber turned humanitarian Greg Mortenson says his work of the past decade building schools in remote villages across Pakistan and Afghanistan has taught him one overriding lesson: Westerners can “drop bombs, build roads or put in electricity, but until the girls are educated, a society won’t change.”

I ran my first Army Ten Miler this weekend. It was really fun and upbeat race, and I would suggest to anyone that it is worth flying out to DC to do. The scene was beautiful, running by the various historical sites and monuments. What was so motivating and touching for me was seeing the amputees, and the injured veterans running along side. No, matter what happens in life we can always run the race as if to receive the prize.

Another resource.

Good resource for when I get over to there.

This is inspiring, a paraplegic climbs a mountain.

my other turned me to this organization. A doctor she met was serving in Bolivia part of the year to help the street chidren in Bolivia.

Bono in Africa, interviewed by Brian Williams. Very cool.

Honorable. Inspiring. Another Distinguish Service Cross recipient, Sergeant Brendan O’Connor.
