Our tour guide has sent us literature to read (I haven't done so yet), suggested books to read (Jerry has read all and more), and I have taken a summer missions class on Israel and Palestine which only caused me much mental distress as I did not pay attention, growing up, as this history was unfolding. Now I am in catch up mode. The "Israel/Palestine" book from the study made me mad at the Israelis. I read "Queen Nor" and became angry at the interfering Europeans. I am now reading "Daughter of Persia" and "Exodus". At least "Exodus", even though a novel, seems to be filling in a lot of the blanks and pulling the pieces together. I'm only 1/3 of the way through.
CNN aired a three part series on "Warriors of God" this week. Did anyone else watch it? The first night was about the Jews. Very good, informative. The second was about Islam. Also good. Explained the reasoning behind martyrdom. I was out for the third one on Christianity. Jerry watched it and was not impressed.
About Me
- Leonna
- I am the mother of 3 "home made" kids, 4 adopted kids, 5 step kids. Added up, that makes 12 (I always did like the movie "Cheaper by the Dozen"). I am married for the third time (the charm) to my soul mate, Jerry. We are enjoying traveling to visit grandkids, and just being together. We live in a small condo in Spokane with our two cats, Thumbellina and Polly. I am the Queen of a local Red Hat chapter, the Scarlet O'Hatties. Our moto is "Frankly my dear..." which really fits.

All the strife in the name of religion since the beginning of time. Religion....difficult to justify!
I'm thinking, more than religion, it is man's greed for power, land, and status that is causing/has caused wars, etc.
