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.

Tibet, China aftermath


The torch is going through Llasa on Saturday (in 2 days)

Journalists are not allowed in. What the heck is going on? Amnesty International would like to know. In time for the torch, they would like China to "shed some light" on the missing Tibetans issue. The dragon must shed from time to time, right?

Reports coming through friends and family members to the media and Tibetan organisations suggested that police had carried out hundreds of raids on monasteries, nunneries and private homes. More than 1,000 Tibetans detained during protests against the Chinese government in March remain unaccounted for, Amnesty International says. China says rioters killed at least 19 people. Tibetan exiles say security forces killed dozens of people. It's kind of a mess.

When Sara and I went to China, I remember this crazed guy selling red Olympic t-shirts, absolutely mad for a sale. We bought one later, but I wonder if the guy was able to feed his family. That was kind of scary. I hope the crowds that go to the Olympics don't get too stressed out by people crazed for money. God almighty. And I hope Beijing has good weather, and without pollution, with or without the help of weather control efforts.

Anyway, Tibet anagrams to bet it. You better, you better, you bet. You better bet your life.
