A blog about what daily life was really like in the Middle East and the daily ramblings of an ex-pat mum. That's how I started the blog. We are now home, so I'm just going to continue with life here. I am a deeply committed Christian. I love to teach about and share my faith so you'll see some of that on the blog as well. Got a comment? Please feel to comment at the end of a post. May our Creator's peace be upon you.

Regional news and some personal bits

First, the regional news.

It's fascinating to me to compare what is written about in the Western press with what's written in the Middle Eastern press.

Forecasters here are saying we may be due for some 'heavy dust'. Some folks here call a sandstorm a 'shamal' which means 'north' which makes sense. The worst ones are brought on by northerly type winds.

I was asked today to consider/think about a full-time work position. But, after the first glance at the job description, it would need tweeking or it won't work for my family. So....we'll see. I'm kinda doubtful. Grandma's: email me if you want all the juicy details. In the meantime, I will stay very busy with my volunteering, thank you. As long as I have a positive impact on the world.

We are also digging around for another car. Sigh....I hate to wait.

Peace.
