Welcome!

I, God, welcome you to my blog!

The good book says only God is good, so it seems to me somebody needs to step up.

I hope you enjoy reading this, the Jesse Journal, as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Please feel free to subscribe, write me an email, request that I write about any particular topic you may want my perspective on, send a prayer, click on the charity link, or donate money to my bicycle fund! Have fun!

Your pal, Jess

F.Y.I. There are about 2200 posts..

Here's a quote from Fyodor Dostoevsky to start things off right: Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.

American Idol

Or, as I call it, the other A.I.

A.I. just held a benefit show (April 9), IDOL GIVES BACK – a special raising awareness and funds for organizations that provide relief programs to help children and young people in extreme poverty in America and Africa.

About the 2007 show:

It raised $76M.

The 2008 show ( http://www.americanidol.com/idolgivesback/ ) raised $22M overnight, but the event is still underway, with the door to online donations still open....
to benefit six charities. including: the Children's Defense Fund, The Global Fund, Make It Right, Malaria No More, Save The Children, U.S. Programs and the Children's Health Fund. They also have a link to http://www.charitywater.org/ .

Britney Spears donated $25,000. Organizers of the show hope to raise more than $100 million.
