NPR reports on the four missing Christian Peacemaking Team members... link

Yesterday the whole family was upstairs playing "hide and seek" in our small little town house. It was one of those moments that Kerri and I knew would be a memory for some time. Today, Riley wanted to recreate that moment. While I was "seeking" for Riley, he gave himself away from under the crib..."Daddy, how did mommy's fat belly fit under here yesterday?"

Home is a good place to be. It is a place where you know you are understood. Coming home from Starbucks Sugar Co. today I felt such a sense of relief. I knew that noone there would be talking behind my back... that everyone there would understand my values... it would be ok if I wanted to be quiet. I knew that noone would ask me for another damn latte. My family (spiritual and blood) is where I rest-recover-recreate-renew. It's good to be home... so now i'll get off the computer.

Thank you Fez
What a wonderful night cap

I need God more than you

The Future of Food, a film by Deborah Koons Garcia, is back in stock at the OCA headquarters. As a result of overwhleming demand for the film, they were temporarily out of supply. The Future of Food provides an in-depth investigation and critique of genetically engineered foods and crops, including interviews with farmer activists such as Percy Schmeiser. According to the Telluride Daily Planet, "This stylish film is not just for food faddists and nutritionists. It is a look at something we might not want to see: Monsanto, Roundup and Roundup-resistant seeds, collectively wreaking havoc on American farmers and our agricultural neighbors around the world. In the end, this documentary is a eloquent call to action." Get it here
