AdventureSeeker7 I like this

AdventureSeeker7 is a 56 year old married guy from Michigan, USA.
I am an 11 year survivor of a bone marrow transplant for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. I am also a married man with 3 wonderful children and a fantastic wife. We share an interest in backpacking, gardening and reading all emails that we receive.

If you are looking for pretty pictures you won't find them on my site unless they are of places to backpack. But you will find links to interesting articles about the Christian faith, politics and backpacking.

The picture is a photo of our dog and his Christmas present. It is the first leather bone that he has not devoured the first day. He is still trying to figure out how to chew it and Feb is close at hand.



Live simply so that others may simply live.

Broker turned monk offers home truths on crisis

Retaining one luxury -- a mobile phone, which connects him with both potential donors and former trading colleagues -- he has brought the rigor of his broking experience to his faith. He has helped to raise hundreds of thousands of levs (dollars) to rebuild the monastery -- a hard task in a country where charity is not part of the mentality and building shopping malls and golf courses is a priority.

Excellent article on leadership. I wish the Bush Administration had read the sentence, "Every time we bully someone, we create an enemy." We have been bullying the world and now wonder why so many in the world are our enemies.

Cultural shift in attitudes among white evangelicals. What I want to know is how the heck those white southern evangelicals ever thought torture was justifiable?

Paul Polak has been helping people escape poverty in Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and elsewhere for 27 years. In Out of Poverty: What Works When Traditional Approaches Fail, the 74-year-old former psychiatrist and founder of International Development Enterprises--a nonprofit that develops low-cost equipment for farmers--argues that simple tools such as a $25 water pump can do more than large cash donations to aid many of the world's "dollar-a-day" people, of which there are an estimated 1.2 billion.

From the page: "The NCAA Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving Committee has decided to allow all new-technology suits approved by FINA (the international governing body for swimming) to be worn in intercollegiate competition including NCAA championships. "


This is really going to change the face of college swimming.

From the page: "Living green is not for the faint of heart. Think of the imponderables. What roach killer should one use? How should one deal with environmentally oblivious in-laws? Can one generate electricity while exercising on a StairMaster or a stationary bicycle? Why is bisphenol-A â€" a chemical found in childrenâ€s sippy cups and other plastic containers â€" considered a toxic villain by some but not by the Food and Drug Administration? "
