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.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to those of you who celebrate Mother's Day on this day! My munchkins brought home the cutest sweetest poems and crafts from school today. It all simply makes my heart melt.

I was scanning CNN news when I came across this piece: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/05/10/pope.mideast.visit/index.html?eref=rss_topstories Now, I don't always agree with positions the current Pope takes (I'm obviously not Roman Catholic), but I really appreciated this particular statement: "Muslims and Christians, precisely because of the burden of our common history, so often marked by misunderstanding, must today strive to be known and recognized as worshippers of God, faithful to prayer, eager to uphold and lift by the almighty decrees." Right on target.

This little piece of video I've uploaded for today doesn't really do these little fish justice. There were several large schools of these fish swimming around as we went snorkeling yesterday. What was so very fun is that these schools were coming up so very close to the shoreline. You'd be standing on the edge of the water and you could almost feel these guys swoosh past your toes. Oceans of good fun.

Hope you are having a peaceful day and remember to tell the nurturing women in your life just how much you love them.
