Who You Are

Sometimes we like to think that we are someone grand ...

You Are ... the very face of God.
the face that never turns away from us
the way God sees the pain and suffering and
short of dropping manna from heaven ... He waits for

You ... Are the very voice of God.
the way God speaks newness, freshness and life into His creation, yet
the way God hears the groaning sounds of misery, hate, anger, fear, from us and
short of clapping thunder that would silence every living thing ... He waits for

You Are the very evidence of the Love of God.
the way God feels ultimate excitement when you say "I am a Servant of the Lord; be it done to me as you say" and instantly "tiny cells, fibers, muscles, molecules, blood and water begin taking their position to transform into a unique pattern never to be duplicated ever again for

You are SomeOne "Grand"
Mother -- fifteen to fifty-five
You are the Host and Bearer of Life.
This is Who You Are!

Yes, this baby is pointing at you. nAnd, for those who may not be able to make out some of the words on the photo, the caption reads:

YOU HAVE THE POWER, SO BE POWERFUL!

Wow! So many of us feel powerless. But we are not. We are immensely powerful. We only think we are powerless. Think afresh...

Elections are taking place or have already taken place in many States and Nations. Much is being said to and about voters. I would like to address those who are being elected.

Once an individual is elected to public office, they become the people's servant. With your election they have said: "I invest in you the power to be me and speak on my behalf as I would speak. Be my eyes, ears, hands, and feet. Reap for me the harvest of my labor."

I would like to make a suggestion to the powers-that-be: make an offering of genuine humility to the people. You will not regret it and they will not forget it. Humility has rewards: true honor and respect. These are the gifts to those who are humble without reason.

Nameste.

U.S. NGO Founder heads for Kenya to build Peace Memorial

MANKOTO, MN -- In November of 2007 Dr. Sophia Asaviour, president of Peace of the World International, is arriving to clear land in Huri Hills in Kenya East Africa. Acreage has been made available for a Peace Memorial to be built, which will include: a Vocational Training Center, Free Clinic, Clear Water Wells, and Children's Peace Academy.

Through the efforts of the Honorable Ukur Yatani, who is a Member of Parliament, along with the generosity of the people of the Marsabit District, a memorial is being built in the Huri Hills area in memory of the 12 government officials who set out on a mission of peace (Monday, 8 April 2006) and were killed in a devastating plane crash. This is phase one of a four part project to be completed on 10+ acres of land.

Dr. Asaviour says she is going to Kenya to work because: "I want to take part in all phases of this project's growth and development. I am calling upon those who will volunteer to join me in: clearing the land, setting fences, laying foundations, building walls and roofs, digging and securing wells, and planting fields. The purpose for this effort is to bring together volunteers, local builders, and villagers to work together for the benefit of peace and for the sake of the community. This is the beginning. Come and continue with us."

Anyone interested in volunteering should send an email to info@peaceoftheworld.org.

Any company or organization that is willing to donate tents for lodging, provide food for volunteer meals, or make any other contributions, should contact Destiny's Light Radio Network in Kenya care of Mr. Samuel Guvai at 254-723-283752 email address guvaisam21@gmail.com or Christian Partnership Development Agency (CPDA) care of Mrs. Alice Kirambi at 254-44-2838 or 254-44-1994.
