I'm still trying to figure out if Israel is going to war or not. Some say yes-- that would be scary because the next holiday is Sukkot which is a very out doorsy one. Some say no-- that's also scary because Iran is working hard to explode us out of the planet. And America is not going to be on Israel's side. In fact, they are ready to shoot down Israeli jets if the Jets enter Iran airspace.
I missed the news about the Muslims congregating at Capitol Hill for a day of Islamic unity. It was on September 25th I think. A major organizer for this rally was the controversial lawyer, Hassen Abdellah.
I had the easiest fast ever this past Yom Kippur. I don't normally fast well, but for some reason I did really well this time. Even when the fast was over I did not have the urge to eat everything in the house lol!
I'm still getting to know Tsfat. As soon as I can find my camera I'll post up some pictures, God willing.
Some old news: Before my computer went capluwee, I heard that Semenya has a new look. More feminine.
before:
after:
Well, glory is ALWAYS pregnant. Whenever you get honor, expect a birth. I mean complete with childbirth pangs, a new baby, risks, etc. Yes risks. Caster Semenya can either have an easy childbirth and a healthy baby (the new "champion" Caster) or she could have a terrible childbirth (which she's having) but a healthy baby or vice verse, or God forbid a terrible childbirth and loss of the baby!
I wish her good advisors/ midwives.
If I can give her, and any new BW who finds themselves in that situation, I cant say I have great advice. All I can say is that the body knows what to do. Just breathe --i.e. just be. Hum through the pain. Give the glory to He Whom it truly belongs (i.e. Thank God) and don't wrestle with the nay sayers and wicked spin doctors. Any further entangling with them will only give them undeserved importance.
Just win the championship and don't submit to gender tests or what have you. If your glory is clouded with controversies, so be it. Just make the birth easy and nurture that new baby so she can grow up knowing she's the daughter of a champion.

Miriam, welcome back. I don't think that American jets would shoot down Israeli planes. It would be political suicide for President Obama and the dems.
Yet, the Iranian problem is a sticky one, and could be the beginning of a bloody war in that part of the world.
If attacked, Iran has threatened to block the strait of hormuth, and stop the shipment of oil from Iraq.
This could take the price of a barrel of oil to a level never seen before, more than $400 a barrel.
Israel has a right to protect herself. A nuclear-armed Iran could be more than a threat to Israel: It could set off a arms race in the region, and destabilize already unstable relationships.
I see nothing good coming out of this, for anyone. If Russia and China don't face Iran with a united front, Iran will take it as a go-ahead for their nuclear ambitions.
The situation in your part of the world is worrisome, and will require a great deal of prayer to defuse.
Domino,
Thanks! Its good to be back.
I don't even know what to hope/pray for. So I just hope for good.
