some things to look at
Hey people, here are a few things in the blogosphere you might want to take a look at. First, some of us know Mark Palmer, pastor in the Landing Place in Columbus. Last year we sort of prayerfully went through a very hard time with Mark and his son as his wife Jennifer had cancer and eventually died. Joyfully, this year Mark was married again, to Amy, a great woman in their community. The shocker is that just this past month Mark has found out that he has a tumor near his rectum and it is cancer. Yeah, just unbelievable. He begins radiation treatments this week to shrink the tumor before surgery. Let us please join in a very serious way, with other communities in the Midwest and everywhere, in battle against this business. This thing's ass needs to be kicked and I believe it will. It's ridiculous.
A few things to build you up - please make time to read this stuff...

Hopefully that gives you some reading to do. I feel like there are some important things for us to be aware of and understand in these posts. See, blogging isn't just about navel-gazing. Pax vobiscum.
