PRAY FOR PEACE

Leave a reply

One of my biggest time killing hobbies lately has been ‘blogsurfing’. Basically I jump from one blog to another, reading what looks interesting and skipping over that which isn’t. It seems like every blog I’ve come across lately has somthing to say about the WAR.

I have been trying to decide if I want to throw my hat into the ring. It took me a couple days to figure out just what I wanted to say.

I have very complicated feelings on war. Deep in my heart I know that it is wrong and that nothing acomplished is worth the loss of lives and the pain that it puts us all through. But in my head I can understand the reasoning behind this WAR and I feel the need to support my country. I think I will forever be a fence sitter.

This WAR has affected me differently than other military engagements have in my short 24 years. I believe this is because this is the first time I have known someone that is involved.

I watch the news at night and the shots of Marines in the desert make me cry. I look at them and think that any one of those short haired, brown clad soldies could be David.

I don’t know if those of you who read this know any soldiers either here or abroad. If you do I’m sure you are praying for them. If you don’t I’d like to invite you to pray for SGT. David Lee in the US Marines. He’s 21 and we’d all like him to come home safely.

Just Pray for PEACE

Okay, so I’m sitting here at work with Lesly in the Drive-Up and I come across this

Let the tears of laughter begin. It’s a good think that I am in a small enclosed area with a large glass window separating me from the customers!

Enjoy at your own risk!

Monday was a busy, busy day for the Woods. We had no time to post at all, even though we wanted to! Now it is Tuesday and we must rewind to Sunday.

It was a lovely morning as we woke up to sunshine and the sound of birds.. NO WAIT! We didn’t wake up to those pleasant things. We woke up to the sounds of our upstairs neighbor wailing away on his drum set. Said drum set is located in the room directly above our bedroom. !!

After that we noticed the sunshine and the birds singing.

Off to church and lunch at THE taco bell on our way to the Museum of Science. We went in specifically to see their “Quest for Immortality: Treasures of Ancient Egypt” exhibit. I really enjoyed it. There is nothing like being in a room with things that are that old!

We left the museum and headed home to prepare for a little dinner party. Jeremy and Angela came over and we had a grand time with them. MENU: Corned Beef and Cabbage, Irish Soda bread, and minty brownies. I had never made any of these before and with the help of my trusty crock pot they came out quite well. Fully tummies abounded.

After a rousing game of CUPS we settled down a bit for a round of “the Game of Sweet Revenge” or Sorry! 🙂 quite fun.

Beverly…or Ketchikan?

a wonderful husband

I’m not sure if everyone who reads this knows exactly how wonderful my husband is. Everyday he does something that makes me feel beautiful and loved and special.

As you read two blogs ago, we went to see Russian Ark. It was a fantastic movie, but that’s not the point. The Brattle Theater is a small little theater where the term “stadium seating” just doesn’t apply. I discovered this first hand as a rather tall young man sat down infront of me effectively blocking 75% of the movie screen.

What did my wonderful husband do upon hearing that I couldn’t see? HE SWITCHED SEATS WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and didn’t even complain once. Can you believe that! What a kind, poilite, wonderful person!

ps. neither of us had a decent view anyway…and we missed many of the subtitles, but that’s life in a small theater.
