Well kids, Liz and I broke up tonight, but it's weird. It's ok. It's what we needed to do. I had a lot of respect for her because of her decision.
Enough of that, but while I have your attention, I was talking to my good pal Mary S. tonight (paired with seeing Batman Begins), and I've decided to share one of my ideas I've been sitting on for a while.
Ok, I'm sharing this because I want to 'partner' with you. Please don't be scared by that. I'm not asking for money (now). I want you to pray about this. I would like some money to start getting the idea around (website, newsletter and things). PLEASE read this an think it through. Tell your friends. I'm going to start a free site with the basic info soon and will post the info there. Until then, send your folds here until then.
Ok, here's the idea, folks.
In the 'third world' our biggest problem is sanitation. Disease, famine, and all hunger related problems lead back to dirty water and poor (or non-existent) waste management. The way we've dealt with this has failed because we are treating the symptom instead of the problem. This needs to stop. My idea is that we start doing it right. Building water treatment centers will create clean water sources that will stop the spread many of the diseases haunting these people. They will also create jobs. We should also build land fills and start waste management companies that will contain many of those pesky disease polluting the water and will also create lots of jobs.
PLEASE think about this. This can really help our world.
