Ordinary time

Obama sounds pretty tough about stopping Jewish settlements in Palestinian land; and that includes the expansion of already existing settlements - a plan that our PM wants to go ahead. He explains that the Jewish populaiton is growing so rapidly it needs more space - meaning take away the Palestinian land. But HaAretz (newspaper) says it's a lie - the "natural growth" theory doesn't add up to the number of land being taken, nor the number of Jews being born in Israel. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1089778.html Well let's see if Obama has the polititcal teeth to bite into this one, or is he just polishing up on his political rhetoric.

Meanwhile summer is hitting us big time - very hot days and increasingly warm nights. Yesterday began our liturgical Ordinary Time when we use green as the liturgical colour and the readings go back to the two year cycle. Going anywhere this summer?
