UPDATE: i've added the link to DRC journal 4 as tonya has just published it - wow!

our gypsy girl tonya is changing the world in the democratic republic of congo (DRC). one woman just one day decides to make a difference and does it. she is inspiration personified. i can't be more thrilled that she's letting us journey along with her in her chronicles:

ice like the pros - do you have a chronic knee injury or need to ice regularly? this is the coolest new invention for helping you keep your body working as it should (and it's surprisingly affordable): donjoy iceman cryotherapy unit

itunes doesn't like vista, or vista doesn't like itunes - info and a possible repair tool can be found here: coolest gadgets -itunes problems with vista

3 weeks of therapy and ted haggard is reprogrammed.... err... cured of homosexuality... i'm not making a call on this either way - but i would truly hope that they've gone deeper than just this issue and into why this manifested in his life? are we so naive to believe (the church) that this isn't a way deeper issue than what is portrayed in this article? moby's got some thoughts on the whole issue: moby.com - Do you remember Reverend Ted Haggard?

rick at new life emerging also has some good thoughts: I swear to tell the truth...

when bad ideas happen to bad people... what is going on? a marriage amendment - forced procreation initiative in washington state... i'm thinking maybe there should be a rule against these people procreating??? dave paisley has some thoughts too: Disaster Area - Stupid Retaliation is Still... Stupid

got a chance to hear/meet phil visher at the nywc in cincinatti this year. he's blogging and has a great three part series called 'So you want to make Christian Videos" - very readable and FULL of expert, FREE advice - lots of bad news/good news type of things:

sue highlights some thoughts from andy rooney, who i rarely agree with, but this time i think he's right on the money: my father's house: Hats off to Andy Rooney

and last, but not least, are you saving your pennies for a new digital camera?? read this - nyt - breaking the megapixel myth - ht to fosfor gadgets

anj said...: You know Ted Haggard and his wife are doing what Christian leaders do when they need help; they are going to get degree in counseling so they can help others. I pray that in his mind soul and body this man is able to integrate this part of himself that he feels is dark into the whole of himself as an image-bearer. And that his wife is able to do whatever necessary work she needs to do also.; 7:14 PM

as per ted haggard...my husband works with guys at an organization that deals with sexual addiction, porn, and/or same sex attraction. i'm not convinced that ted is 'cured'...from what i understand, it's a dirty and long, tedious job digging through the dark holes of the heart. but i'm glad to see he and his wife have gotten the help they need. we all are broken people and we all need to be accountable and open to one another. i hope he puts down the mask and deals with what's going on.

just my two cents.
