A friend sent me this and I thought it was too good not to share.  Whether or not you believe in a higher power, the message is still eternal.  Please enjoy.

Sounds good, Henry, enjoy!

I'll put it up here, too:

Hi everyone,

I’m the captain of the “Kivans support group loans” team that was started in March 2010. We loan to groups because we feel they are worthy of our attention and their loans are often big and therefore more difficult to fund.

To celebrate our half-year anniversary I am going to give one $25 gift certificate to one of our group members who loans to our monthly team loan (this is a group loan we pick together and we loan to together, around the 15th of the month). Or to a group member who has a very good story of why he/she is NOT loaning to this team loan.

If you are interested to join us and participate in the $25 dollar gift certificate lottery, go to these sites for more information: www.kiva.org/team/kivans_support_group_loans or www.kivafriends.org/index.php/topic,5233.msg82311.html#msg82311 .

Thank you!

Petra

Out of the blue...I got a call from Lorna from Canada.  She wanted folks to know that she has been busy with medical issues in her family, but her husband is doing much better and will be back in the home soon.  

Now I have a voice to go with her name!

These days.....

I would be scared as hell to ask a question or post a comment regarding KIVA on KF

for fear of getting Bi'atch slapped by the many 'oh to Kivan's' here

so instead....  I'll just watch and drink my koolaid
