FROM SUDAN, MEET MICHELE MONDAY 11/2 PJ'S 210 E TRADE

I am a very ordinary person in love with a very extraordinary God.
I love the least, the unlikely and the unexpected. I will go anywhere anytime to see the dreams of my Jesus fulfilled.
I don't do religious. I do real, raw, risky Life that just might cost everything- but it is worth more than I'd ever have to give.
I live in the light of Love's face. Standing in the storm, dancing through the night, hearing songs in the silence, looking beyond the seen to what really is.
I live by One, through One, for One. I was created for Him. I was created for relationship deeper than this world can fathom. I was made to fly.
WHERE I LIVE
In the bustling international mud-thatch metropolis of Yei, Southern Sudan with my now 84 children

ALSO FEATURING 10/19, POET DANI

Dani, a member of the 2009 Respect Da Mic Slam Team, spoken word artist, and newly published author of her book, "The Rantings of Dani", began writing just a little over a year ago. She had her first open mic in March at Happy Hour, her second at the Wine-Up just two days later, and found that she had discovered a "home" behind the microphone speaking truth about the issues that life brings us. Whether you are reading her written word or hearing it from her mouth, Dani has one motto or warning concerning her work:
"Read, but don't take offense. Absorb, but don't judge. These are my words, not yours. But.... If somewhere along the way, something in them strikes a nerve, stirs your soul, quiets your heart, or awakens your passion...then so be it. It was worth the effort after all."
