SARA FRIENDS MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD

My friend, Turk Pipkin, created the moving and
insightful film "Nobelity", which interviews Nobel
Peace Prize winners about the state of our world. This
indie film is out on DVD - available at Waterloo and
Barnes & Noble in Austin, at Amazon and at the
nonprofit's website, http://www.nobelity.org. Every copy sold
through their site pays for an additional copy that
goes into classrooms as part of the Nobelity in
Schools program. Support Turk and his wonderful
creation!

Let's Talk About Petrica: Tanner Romania Mission
Petrica came to us in 1999 when he was 6 yrs old.
Till that time he was living at the orphanage in a crib with Constantin, one of our other boys, so the two of them really feel like brothers but have no memory of the orphanage now, in fact they choose to believe that Bruce and Sandie are their parents!
Petrica attends public school after several years of home tutoring and has just is just starting 6th grade. He lives at Casa Rachel with his 10 brothers. Petie is the sweetest of all the boys, always gentle, helping others, the first to Praise and recognize the blessings from God, a very, very special boy.
For more information about the Tanner Mission, please visit http://www.tannermission.org.

Starting in October, I will be joining forces with the
Texas Coalition Against the Death Penalty to do a year
long, once a month, 12 city tour of Texas to start the
dialogue about the death penalty in Texas. WIth music,
speakers, and your opportunity to come out and ask
questions about the death penalty. We will also be
filming to create a DVD about how Texans feel about
this issue. To date, these musicians have agreed to
perform somewhere along the route: Trish Murphy,
Shelley King, Barbara K, Stacey Earle and Mark Stuart.
I will be sending out another email that will
exclusively cover the cities, dates, speakers and
musicians.

A genuine thank you to Rob Erdle, one of my beloved
art instructors at University of North Texas who
passed away. Thank you, Rob, for all your
encouragement, not only with me, but all the students
whose lives you changed and touched. You were an
awesome man and artist.

Until next time,
I wish you love....all ways.
Sara
