Thank you to all who voted for me in the Blogs of Beauty Awards. It's quite an honor. The second award actually belongs to all who read and comment here. Thanks for making this blog a dialogue and not just a monologue.
In other news,
Abraham Cherrix fate still hangs in the balance, as the court indefinitely delayed a decision to allow the 16 year old homeschooler to decide his own medical treatment. The ruling was expected yesterday. I blogged about it here. Here's a video link from The Today Show. He's quite an articulate young man.
The conflict in the Middle East has hit home for my neighbor. Literally. An Isreali rocket hit a home in Lebanon where 20 of their relatives were inside hiding. Only two survived the blast. They are in still in critical condition. War is real. These families are innocent victims in an conflict they didn't ask to be a part of. Pray for an end to the violence.

Congratulations on your blog awards, Spunky - I can't think of anyone other than you who so richly deserve the recognition.
Crisis it the Middle East: My husband's grandparents and great grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from Lebanon at the turn of the century (1900) for reasons similar to today's current events as well as the forever persecution of Orthodox Christians in that region then (and still today). These people are being vitimized by circumstances and extremists that they have nothing to do with. It is tragic and I'm not so certain American's really understand what the conflict is about and who the victims really are. We do not comprehend the freedoms we have in this country. We, too, have been keeping close watch as the events unfold in Lebanon. Please let your neighbors know they are in our prayers.
