I’ve recruited a foursome to play in this event. Our goal is to raise $1,500. (Total goal is $50,000.) Would you be willing to make a donation to help us meet our goal? If so, I need you to send your gift ASAP to CCHO. It needs to arrive no later than August 27th. Make checks payable to “CCHO” and send to the following address:

CCHO

Write “Mulpas foursome” on the memo line. That way our group gets credit for your generous gift. Any amount is great!

One other thing — please email me at jwm574@yahoo.com if you plan to make a donation and include the amount. I need to keep track of where we’re at with our goal and who is donating.

I really appreciate your time and help with this.

Thanks!

P.S. All donations are tax-deductible!

I slept in until 8:30 this morning. That felt good. I spent the morning hanging out with Noah. We watched Clifford the Big Red Dog and Ernie Haase & Signature Sound. He loves quartet singing. Don’t ask me why.

We ate lunch at Pizza Hut. That’s a Monday tradition. Right now I’m at Seattle’s (coffee shop) in Wooster sipping a decaf coffee and writing this blog entry. It doesn’t get much better than this.

Last night Beth and I saw Spider-Man 3. We thought it was pretty cheesy. About halfway through the movie the plot took some bizarre turns. I guess that’s Hollywood.

Over lunch today Beth and Noah gave me a great gift. I’ve been wanting to read Steve Farrar’s book King Me. Well, now I’ve got it. I’ll let you know how it is. I plan to read it soon. 

Tonight Beth is fixing me some barbecue chicken legs. I’m looking forward to that. I love barbecue!

Lord willing I hope to live another 33 years. It’s exciting to think about what lies ahead. God is good! 

I’m going to be posting different things at different times. Some days I’ll simply talk about my day. Other days I’ll post questions for discussion or talk about some other topic. It’s going to be fun!

Come back soon.
