Philanthropy

Hello all,

I’m back to the blogging world again. The AMA mission board wasn’t sure if this thing called blogging was something that was safe or not and asked us to refrain until further notice. They discussed it over the last year and in the last meeting they decided that it is okay. Praise the Lord.

The year is very nearly to over and it seems as if it has not been that long. My last post was in March and a lot of stuff has happened since then. In August, I was privileged to visit home for a period of three weeks in August and a month after my return here, my sister Karleen came to visit for four weeks, and the next big event on the calendar is my return home in March with plans to stay put for a while. My location of living has been quite fluid since the year of 2002 with stints in Pennsylvania, Illinois, Arkansas, and of course Kenya with returns home to Ohio sprinkled throughout so I am ready to settle down and make some money very soon here. I am planning to work for my dad in his business (www.kuhnsmfg.com).

Money is the Key to Happiness. Did you know that? Everything that I would like to do hinges on the on one key factor. Having Money. So someone should just give me some. And while they are at it, they should just give me a lot of it because there is all kinds of stuff to do with it. I would like to be a philanthropist. Philanthropists travel around the world making people happy by giving them time and money. Mother Teresa and Bill Gates and Angelina Jolie are all notable philanthropists. It is probably the only resemblance between Mother Teresa and Angelina Jolie besides the fact that they are both women.

Oh wait, I am a philanthropist. As a volunteer here in Kenya I give both time and money to the Kenyans. Does it make them happy? Yes it does! For about five minutes and then they are back asking for more. So scrap the idea. No one give me any money, please.

Do you want to be happy? Give something to someone. I think giving to a grateful recipient is a happier thing to do than receiving a gift.

Have a Happy Merry Christmas!
