Program:  Lyn Corder = Sojourn Vietnam – An excellent program and History related facts and pictures of the country and people, their culture, inter tribe conflicts.  In  t he so called D.M.Z. 10 people are killed every day, mostly children, by land mines.  America is looked on as an aggressor.

                She and her daughter and son-in-law took a tour on a dragon boat all day, for $16.00.  there are few motorized vehicles, other than mopeds.  The people are friendly and no beggars.  The children are being educated well and everyone has employment of some sort.

                                Thank you very much, Lyn, for an excellent program.

Thought for today:  Lord – when I have been cross with a loved one or a friend and want to make amends, I ask for the grace to admit my mistake and ask for forgiveness.  Amen 

                Laughter;  A smile that has burst into a joyous sound.
