good sites

Lately I've been finding (well, to be honest, Jef has found some of these and passed them on to me) kewl sites - written by women. Women who are thinkers, not just fluffy. :) Came across this one tonight (http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/BattlementsofRubies/) and am drawn to her, maybe because she mentioned "The Clash"(I'll have to ask Jef if "we" like The Clash ... ), but more because of her thoughts on current events. Will have to see what else she has to say!
The one Jef found for me is this (http://www.neurotic-iraqi-wife.blogspot.com/). It is a blog by an Iraqi woman who is living outside of Iraq, in America, I think. Anyway, it is an interesting perspective on life over there.
Might have to add these to my links. :)

Woo Hooo!!! We reached the goal!

Read this today & it made me very happy!
Cloud 2,996
Bloged in Progress by D.Challener Roe Monday August 28, 2006
On August 28, 11:19 PM EDT the 2,996th name was assigned.
Howard (Barry) Kirschbaum, age 53, a resident of New York, N.Y., will be honored by El Rider at the blog Flying Debris.
There will be more to come. But every name will be honored. It took exactly 90 days, and more hours than I’d care to count–and not just from me.
But for tonight I’ll take this victory and sleep well.

FOX News guys are safe!!

The FOX News guys (Steve & Olaf) were released Sunday morning, safely. You can read the story here. They did have to become Muslims at gunpoint, but now they are home safe & sound. I'm sure they can recant their confession if they want.
God is good!!
Thanks for praying!!
