I've got two Hummingbirds on my boat that I've had for five years or so, both have never done anything but work flawlessly. |

Yah, Kenji is warming getting 'in character' for his upcoming congressional bid for Foley's seat in Florida. kenji was a choir boy when he was a young lad. Just read that in the paper. how does some teenage escapades lead one as an adult to have a hankering for twinks? |

Alcoholism, quite naturally, is the culprit. |

With all the social problems we have in this country which could use a good dose of old time religion, why do missionaries have to go to another country to help and do good works? Why not the Bronx or East LA or American Indian country? Why Central America or anywhere else for that matter? It's like adopting Asian babies - I don't get that either. There are lots of kids here in the states, in particular older ones, that can use good parenting and a good home, yet people insist on adopting Korean, Chinese and East Asian Indian children. What's the point? I just don't get it. I don't know about these missionaries in particular, but I do know a little about the Southern Baptist Church Mission program. It is divided into 2 parts, a Foreign Mission Board and a North American Mission Board. the NAMB has just over 2900 full time missionaries and about 2400 long-term ( 4 months to 2 years, these people are self-funded) missionaries working here in the US. Once again I cannot speak for anyone else, but I (and my local church) believe we are instructed to do good works everywhere, since I cannot run off to a foreign country on a regular basis (although I have been able to go to a couple on a 1-2 week basis) I/we can help send others. We also do a lot of work locally as well as elsewhere here in the southeast. Here is a link with a little info if you are interested. http://tinyurl.com/qvlf2 As for the adoption issue, I agree. I work with 2 people however who have adopted children from other countries. In both cases, the issue was the large amount of red tape involved in trying to adopt here in the US. They both said the issue was not money as it was the same or slightly more due to travel etc. |

I've got a cousin who ended up in that religion. I'll send him down to see you. Says he's some kind of priest?? and is involved in their genealogy program. I made it clear not to try preaching to me. |

Since you probably don't keep very small birds on your boat I'm guessing your spell checker got that one. You have to compare them to see the difference. The resolution on the Humminbirds is poor compared to others in the same category or price range. The features are also lacking. Dan |

Adopting babies from far away lands (Asian, Europe etc,) do not come with Lawyers from far away lands that will haunt the adoptive parents asserting rights of the birth parents. Long after the adoption has been completed. Jack R.. |
