Ignore No More: July 2009
http://ignorenomoretc.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 8, 2009. Last August, I rose early on a Saturday morning and drove to a nearby Target before it opened. It was a few minutes past 7:30am when I hastily pulled into the parking lot. I looked toward the store's entrance and saw a sea of Salvation Army volunteers in light blue T-shirts, eagerly awaiting the arrival of hundreds of back-to-school shoppers. On August 22, year two of Leaders Launching Learners will take place at ten different department stores throughout the Twin Cities, and we ...

Thursday, October 29, 2009. Saying ‘yes’ to life saves a life. Yesterday afternoon I had a choice to make—stay home after spending three days in Rochester during a leadership conference with my fellow Salvation Army officers, or go back to my workplace at the West 7th Salvation Army in St. Paul and teach Cub Scouts classes in the evening. The 21-year-old man’s name was Mitch. His first words were, “I think I’ve gone crazy.” I asked, “Why do you think that? Then Mitch began to tell his story. He had n...

Ignore No More: August 2009
http://ignorenomoretc.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 10, 2009. Occasionally we'll be sharing thoughts from Krystle, a Salvation Army social worker. Hope you enjoy her perspective. I think about how much I have taken for granted in my life when a client expresses thanks for the little things. Everyday I use my head and shoulders shampoo in the shower, and a majority of our clients aren’t able to bathe daily, or wash their clothing weekly, while I have access to a shower, washing machine, stove, and refrigerator without trouble.

Captain Bill is recovering from a surgical procedure on his leg and in the midst of the flood efforts their daughter was taken to the hospital for an emergency operat...

Thursday, March 25, 2010. No answer but silence. 8220;There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job.” Job was a good man, a righteous man who, because of cosmic wager between God and the Satan, lost his wealth, his family and even his health. And yet through it all he insisted that God was good. If God is good why does he allow people to hurt and to grieve and to suffer? If God is powerful why does he not stop natural disasters? What wisdom, what insight do I have into the problem of pain? Now, to...

Monday, September 28, 2009. Nearly escaping death.optimism at it’s finest. I joke with his case manager that Joe is the perfect picture of “Murphy’s Law” (anything that can go wrong will go wrong). Despite this, Joe still has a very optimistic outlook on life and attempts to live positively each day. Though his surgeries have now grown to double digits (I believe it’s up to around 13? And he is on a handful of medications, he has made a success out of his life. Posted by The Salvation Army. There are alw...
