I was doing a bit of research on something else, and came across this wonderful true story out of World War II, as recorded at The Righteous Among the Nations “Featured Stories” section at Yad Vashem’s website. This particular story begins:

Last week, midweek, at a study group at church, when the pastor asked if anyone had any prayer requests, one of the women asked if we would pray for her son. She fought for her words as she made her request, ‘… he made it through Iraq, and… our new president (she couldn’t seem to say [...]

Books on Texas for kids: info please
Posted by: kathrynjudson on: February 4, 2009

So, I finally have a computer connected to the Internet, after a few weeks off. But, I find that I still have some technical problems. We might have to scrap this one and start over, for all I know.
