I want this for you because it is your heart's desire. I believe in my heart it will happen Paz...I really do. Please keep us posted. Love, Sherelle Paz wrote: Hi Everybody- It was a rough day today trying to balance my job and keep up with IHC. I got another call today from Sen. Mary Landrieu's assistant telling me she was about to board a plane for Sri Lanka with another US Senator. I asked that she try to identify charitable foundations in country and try to gauge the work they are doing to try and find other partners for relief in country so that we can set up long term support. He told me that she would be calling me to consult me regarding our plans very shortly. He also told me I could be invited to Washington very soon to attend some meetings regarding this effort. I am very excited about all this and pray that God finds a way for me un plug from my current job and to do work full time healing children and working for charity. I know that I could do a great job at it if I could dedicate my whole life to it. Pray for me to get my wish. Thanks to everyone who has written to me again and continue and special thanks to Bob Muller, Jody and Scott Johnson, and Alice Sebrell for you very kind and generous donations to IHC. I will do my best to see that the money is used in the best way possible to help tsunami survivors, esp. children. More later.

The funny thing is I didn't even realize it was on here until I was playing it this morning. I heard Clay Aiken on TV a month ago singing the song "Mary Did You Know" and really liked it and just happen to notice it was on this CD when I picked it off the shelf. I was so excited! The fun part..........these CD's are on Clearance at Target for approx $1.50 (75% off regular price) they're moving them out with the x-mas stuff..........that's where I found my copy yesterday afternoon......with the leftover x-mas stuff. It scans 75% off of the marked regular price. This CD has a red cover with a gold ornament on the front of it. There's also some contemporary sounding seasonal songs by Harry connick Jr and Alicia Keys. Really a nice sounding CD........even if your not into Holiday music (like me!). Before this my favorite Holiday CD was The Jingle Cats! Don't listen to Jingle Cats while your driving tho......you could drive off the road laughing! * The Happy Elf - Harry Connick Jr. * Little Drummer Girl - Alicia Keys * Mary Did You Know - Clay Aiken * Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - Gavin DeGraw * Comin' for X-Mas? - Usher * Oh Holy Night - Kelly Clarkson * Santa Claus is Back in Town - Richard Marx * The River - Rachael Yamagata * Jolly Old St. Nicholas - Chicago * Christmas Day - Dido * My Favorite Things - Peter Cincotti * O Come All Ye Faithful - Jeremy Camp Laura ************************************************************ GRAB A FREEBIE!

This is one post, Joni, that I'd rather you not read. Well first, She was in town and she was staying with me and Bree. She was out late and 4:49 am I was just getting up to go to school (work) about my usual time. . and joni was just getting in. . Bree greets her at the door and says to joni, "how about a nightcap?" (real chipper) The somewhat emabarassing part: Joni takes a bath and Bree and I are talking about ways to save her bath water. (Not that I would think of doing something like that!) : -) LOve Marianne _________________________________________________________________ On the road to retirement?

I'm not sure what I think. This person is very popular in Hawaii and has a beautiful contralto voice. I think I actually saw her perform when I was there in 1996 visiting my brother. My ex-sister in law is a big fan of hers as are many people in Hawaii. Please give your honest feedback.

Sorry! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2005 18:57:29 EST From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: Scarlet **I need you to listen to this version of Joni's "Shades of Scarlet Conquering" and tell me what you think. Sherrelle - I for one love this track. Matter of fact I put it on my "Sweet Sixteen Volume 3" last year. Azure McCall also does "Be Cool" on this CD (The Gift) and she did "The Hissing of Summer Lawns" on an earlier release. So like you, the lady loves her Joni JAZZED. I'm nutty about the gritty contralto quality of her vocal, she's more concerned with capturing the feeling of the lyric and melodic mood than nailing every note. Great stuff; I mean, she's no Sherrelle Smith but she'll do in a pinch. Bob NP: Joni, "Night Ride Home" ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 05 Jan 2005 19:56:06 -0600 From: Michael Paz Subject: More updates Hi all Again many thanks for all the emails that I am responding to in this matter because of time. Also special thanks to JMDL'ers Maggie McNally, David Lahm, and Patty Parlette for your generosity and thoughtfulness towards IHC our combined effort. I made some great strides today finally hooking up with my old friend who lived in Jakarta for so long. He is headed there on Monday and has agreed to help us in our quest. His work is in Social services already so it won't be a big stretch for him. I now have to worker bees out there helping us identify future partners to heal and rebuild nations one little bit at a time. I welcome any advice and/or recommendations for contacts of folks living or working in the countries affected. We are having an IHC meeting on Tuesday and it should be a whopper. It's where I do my least good work. I am not the board room type. I like intelligent discussion, planning, and then execution of the plan. It does not always work that way so I am hoping for a miracle that we are all on the same POSITIVE page for a change. I think we will. Muller I really am enjoying the current release of Covers and thanks to Jerry Notaro for the huge laugh he gave me this evening in the form of JPG. Be well all.
