Summer Reading

If any are interested - I have a travel blog while I'm in England. It's at

www.christy-abroad.blogspot.com

If you want cheesy pictures and badly written entries because I'm doing it with no revising - this is the place! Have a good summer. Holy crap, it's already July. Happy Fourth, tomorrow.

Man, I'm weirded out. I was reading South Africa's home news page to catch up the news and I saw that there had been this trial of this woman: Dina Roderigues. She apparently was just convicted for killing an infant (hiring four men to slit the infant's throat). Apparently she did this for her lover, who was the father of the baby. The baby's mother, Natasha Norton, was in court watching the procedures and I was looking at photos. I realised Norton's boyfriend, Andrew Moolman, wearing glasses and shielding her from the cameras, was this guy I went to high school with. I think I may have even gone to primary school with him. What an awful case. Miss Roderigues is scary.

Poor Andrew Moolman. 

From the annals of Greenville's History (Tales, Trails and Breadcrumbs: 1838-1938 - On hundred years in Bond County, Illinois)

"It was Harmon and Robinson who decided to trade wives, but in order for Robinson to agree to take Harmon's wife he had to throw in a gun and a dog to clinch the deal".

I love Greenville.

I can't be-LIEVE this. Just go to this link: Praise and Worship as Christian Voodoo:

Also note the points at the bottom of the page which point to females and voodoo and the inherent connection. I am aghast.

I can't explain it but to say:

Tonight is an extreme test of my patience. I should be thankful. How do you deal with it appropriately? How are you gracious and still be boundary-setting? I am slowly going crazy.

Is this for real a test?
