I'm still trying to make my life a little more organized. I had resigned myself to confusion and running in circles until the other day when I was rummaging through some old files. I found a yellowed column written by a lady in the United States. She explained her writing timetable. In the first week of each month. she wrote enough columns for the whole month. That left three weeks free for other things. Whenever a column idea struck her, she wrote it down, and whenever research yielded some valuable information, she filed it away. Thus she always had a wealth of topics from which to choose when the first week of each month rolled around. "Good idea," thought I, "and it sounds simple enough. I'll try it." Today is Tuesday. I in- tended to launch my program yesterday, but unexpected book work and errands postponed it. The plan has gone well thus far today, and this column should be finished on schedule. One down and four to go, and I'm wondering why I decided to start my project in a month that has five Wednesdays. I could write another one tonight, but a survey of my closet tells me if I want clean clothes to wear tomorrow I should do the laundry first. Today I also learned of appointments that will take me away from home both Friday and Saturday, That leaves one day in which to write three or four columns, if my plan is to succeed, Should I ignore the in- terruptions, even though they're important, or should I postpone my organizational clean up for a few days? Postponement seems most likely, especially since I just discovered another major stumbling block-an idea drought. Sure I have lots of r topic suggestions scribbled on bits of paper; newspaper clippings cram my files, and magazines litter my tables, Unfortunately sometimes forget my reasons for saving certain clippings, and reading takes time. I usually captionize a column idea into a sentence or two, and stretching one line into five hundred words requires some thought. I might develop four columns in one day, if miracles do happen. I hate to sound like a pessimist, but I'm beginning to think I was destined to run around in circles. For the time being at least, I'm shelving my planned organization, I'll keep the lady's column, though. I admire her; she's certainly an organized person. Maybe next January I'll dig out her column again, make it my New Year's resolution and try again, Everybody knows how good I am at keeping New Years' resolutions!

United States and Canada gathered in Omaha to attend the eighteenth biennial convention of the Inter- national Lutheran Women's Missionary League July 16- 19, 1979, under the theme "Sow the Seed." The LWML is the women's auxiliary of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and numbers approximately 200,000 members in 43 districts. Mrs. Marvin Barz, Goderich, president of the Mitchell zone which includes the Exeter-Dashwood area, represented her ladies at the convention. The 550-plus voting delegates set a mission project goal of $450,000, representing the amount of funds to be gathered during the next two years. In ad- dition, $165,000 was authorized for the League's ongoing programs in the next two years. During the past two years, the LWML sponsored nine projects budgeted at $410,000. For the first time, the projects were funded solely on gifts alone without including any in- terest to reach the goal. Projects selected for the 1979-81 biennium include one Canadian Ministry at Concordia College, Edmonton, Alberta and Christ Lutheran Church, Montreal, Quebec.
