Suggestions for Improving Morning Star News
There are two currently untapped local resources. One, is the young people, who can give us all insight into 'their' world, thoughts and opinions. The other is the Seniors. Retired people need to keep active, and they have so much to share. We especially invite them to take up our offer of input. Old people are a wealth of stories, anecdotes and history, not to mention 'wisdom'.

For the Love of God and Children
Far be it from me to be able to make a true and accurate judgment of the goings on in anyone's household or marriage, or to self righteously condemn or condone anyone's divorce, but saint's preserve us, how is it possible for parents to put their own ill feelings and needs above the right of a child to a full and happy life?

Finding Myself in China Chapter 2
The Title "Finding Myself in China" is a play on words, because from February of 2003 when I came to China with the purpose of staying just one year, until August 2007 when I commenced to write the first draft of this book, I have literally 'found myself'. These past 7 years (2003-2010) have returned to me my joy of living and gone now are my previous feelings that my life really had no purpose. Having found myself in China, I found myself!
