Just want to say that i truly appreciate your great sense of humor and simplicity. You fulfilled the scripture that says...when you see a diligent man...he will stand before kings...paraphrased. I'm just going through the compassion website and wondering why Compassion Int is not in Nigeria, Please come over to our "macedonia" God bless.

When in his office, we had the same feeling of awe that he had at the White House. We felt as if we were in the presense of greatness....and we were. He made us feel very comfortable and I was truely touched by his humbleness, sincerity and genuine heart.

I was also thrilled to learn George, Sr., sponsored a child! I'm not surprised, actually. I'm so glad you got to represent Compassion (for all of us) in this way!

I doubt any of us knew that the first President Bush sponsored a child through Compassion (except maybe whoever told him about CI!). I love the way he chose his words! I'm so proud of Wess and the recognition he is getting--and the attention being drawn to Compassion, as a result. I can't imagine that anyone could meet him and listen to him for three minutes, and not hear his heart! Read this first thing this morning and loved it.

The idea that after an evening spent with the President of the United States and other heads of state, you would might notice a homeless man and then take the time to pray with him moves me spiritually. And while it is true I am a follower of Christ Jesus, in one sense I am a follower of you as well, as your Christian walk positions you miles ahead of me on that narrow path of Christian faith.

My head starts spinning and I get a headache just thinking about politics. BUT I sure am glad that I did! What a great post-such a nice read especially after all the lies and bad mouthin' going on right now. I almost didn’t come over to read this blog post because I avoid anything remotely political.
