Today

Today's Jpost article focussesd on Messianic Zionists - Jews who believe in Jesus and are Zionist at the same time. Sounds pretty complicated http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1239710831191&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

And more houses are being demolished by the State in East Jerusalem - terrible to see families helplessly watching bulldozers knock down eveything. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8028564.stm

So HK has its first case of H1N1. It was good to see on BBC news how prepared it tackled it's first case - impressive and definitely a model for other countries to follow. No chances taken. It's shameful how relaxed and naive some other places are when confronting this virus - some of the guys here from Europe say it's a culture of feeling embaressed and ridicule if one wears a mask; but i said that it was the same in HK before SARS and H5N1. All it takes is a little education and some public example by leaders to show that it's nothing wrong in taking precautions. Anyway way to go HK! Show the world how it's done!

Yesterday was the Feast of St Joseph the Labourer. We prayed for all workers. May St Joseph give us all an example of the dignity of work.
