St Stephan's day

Nice to know the American Consulate people are treated like the rest of us when it comes to security checkpoints. However they risked being shot for resisting checks - not a very smart move. But at the end of day, I think Israel will come to a compromise and not check future US consulate vehicles .... it's the US after all. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1261364500043&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

It's St. Stephan a day ... a lovely phrase from "Murder in the Cathedral" by T.S. Eliot about Archbishop Thomas Beckett who was killed for not bowing to political pressure. It's my traditional Christmas reading ..... have you read it yet? I introduced Fr Tomislav to read Sense and Sensibility ... and he liked it. Jane Austen rocks!
