Luke: "BBURRRPPP!"

Luke's stories

After lunch, the other day, Luke was telling me stories and I wrote them down. This is exactly what he said....

"Once upon a time, there was a Mommy and she was a little engine. And she wanted Thomas to help her. Thomas wanted to drink Luke's apple juice. Gordon, James, Edward and Henry were fixing the track where James was supposed to spill the apple juice. And Mommy wanted to drink Thomas' apple juice. Henry crashing with the coach, and Henry's feeling better. The End."

"Once upon a time, there was a little engine named Red and he wanted Mommy to help drink Luke's apple juice."

"Once upon a time, there was a little engine called Stanley. And she (transcriber's note: "Stanley" in this story is a she...I asked.) wanted to drink that pomegranate-pomegranate all. Henry wanted to help drink apple juice and pink lemonade and Mack wanted him to help. Stanley helped Henry and he wanted her to help him. Then a bouncy pencil came over to see Henry and it went to go see Lightning McQueen and Doc. Then Mac pulled the pencil's face off and then it was gone."

At this point we were getting a little too graphic so we stopped telling stories...hope you enjoyed!

Politics

Do you remember? In 2004,

"...millions of Ukrainians staged nationwide nonviolent protests that came to be known as the "Orange Revolution"-the victory of the Ukrainian people over their country's corrupt leadership"

What amazing time in their post-communist history! Aaron and I were lucky enough to be in Ukraine the summer after the elections, summer of 2005, and all of our new Ukrainian friends wanted us to know all about this experience. They wanted us to look at pictures, slides, and to truly understand! We may not have been able to truly understand, because we have never experienced anything like that, but we will never forget.

Now, I want to draw your attention to what is being called "The Twitter Revolution". Iran's Twitter Revolution. As Ahmadinejad and his regime shut down forms of Iran's communication with the outside world, the people and reporters turn desperately to Twitter. Some of them are risking their lives, not just to protest their government or its present system, but to make sure that the people outside it's borders-us-that we know what is happening.

Watch and pray my friends. Watch and pray.

May we be like "sons of Issachar, men who understood the times". 1 Chron. 12:32
