Tensions rise

The situation in Libya is spiraling out of control. While BBC reports that 600 are dead, arabs in our streets are saying 10,000 were killed. Air attacks have been the main cause. The heat in our streets is rising ... yesterday several arabs in front of our house were yelling for the blood of Gaddafi. And as the pressure increases, Hamas - apparently from Gaza - fired rockets into Israel, hitting the city of Beer Sheva and destroying several buildings. Israel responded by bombarding Gaza. This is the first attack since 2 years. Let's hope it'll not escalate. Fingers crossed.

The weather has turned summer. Very unexpected and many people are falling sick because of this sudden change. Not at all helpful in this political climate.

This week's readings are from Sirach; wise sayings gleaned from years of life experience. It'll worth your while to read them even if only for 5 minutes. A little refreshment for your soul.
