Sickening

I went to get my post out of the mailbox this morning, and alongside the leaflets for the local gym, 4 star pizza, bills and other assorted junk, I found a leaflet for some local hotel saying "Book your Christmas party now!". For Gods' sake people, it's not even August yet! Is bad enough when the decorations go up the week after Halloween, but July? Jesus!

A bit freaky.....

From yesterday's news:

"July 26, 2006 Irish archaeologists Tuesday heralded the discovery of an ancient book of psalms by a construction worker who spotted something while driving the shovel of his backhoe into a bog.

The approximately 20-page book has been dated to the years 800-1000. Trinity College manuscripts expert Bernard Meehan said it was the first discovery of an Irish early medieval document in two centuries.
..............
The book was found open to a page describing, in Latin script, Psalm 83, in which God hears complaints of other nations' attempts to wipe out the name of Israel."

Psalm 93 starts with

"God, do not be silent; God, be not still and unmoved!
See how your enemies rage; your foes proudly raise their heads.
They conspire against your people, plot against those you protect.
They say, "Come, let us wipe out their nation; let Israel's name be mentioned no more!"""

A bit freaky eh, seeing as what's happening in Lebanon at the moment??
