The Old Lady

I am feeling a bit down about that woman who got kidnapped in Iraq. I wont go into a debate on the whole war thing but for someone who had been dedicating her life to assisting the country to be taken hostage is just awful. I will be really praying for her. This world could be very depressing indeed if we thought about all the bad stuff going on.
Which is why it is good to hear stories about people's children and positive experiences on these blogs as well as the bad. I actually feel so privileged at the moment- I guess I am appreciating all that I have and realising that I shouldnt take it for granted. So many people are worse off, even in my own city of London.
Why am I being so deep? Dont know- just that woman being taken hostage has really influenced me somehow. If only there was something we could do except just praying...
Not long til the Americans get the chance to get rid of Mr Bush (except they wont take the opportunity, I'm almost certain, especially with Mr Bush's brother in charge of things in Florida again where lots of funny business is carrying on once again. it is just unbelievable that any sane person would ever vote for him in my view!).....
