Hahaa! It's true. Seriously, wanna add "Throw a party for the Defense Secretary who helped set up the dying part in Iraq at the cost of several million dollars"? I was blogging about that on the weekend.
Good to hear your race went well. Take care,
Noha
I read your weekend post and I was trying to piece together a response yesterday.
Would a simple "Amen" suffice? :)
yeah... Amen's good enough... I thought of about a million things to add to it after the fact, like: De-Nile isn't just a river in Egypt; the Bush administration's policy seems to be "aim low" then you're bound to feel good about how you end up doing. Great article in this week's New Yorker about how Bush STILL won't admit things aren't going well in Iraq. Even after the Iraq Study Group's report on how bad things are. He said something like "we're not succeeding as quickly as we'd like to be" ... right, our problem is that the 'success' is coming too slowly.
Something tells me "World Leaders" would be a lot less likely to start wars if they or their own children had to fight/die in them.
And about the U2 Song, love... I'm Muslim, but I can see the point, and U2 has always been so good at transcending and hitting your emotions...
Noha...I'd be intrigued to hear your take on some of my posts that relate to God.
I realize they're Christ-centered, but any thoughts you'd like to add would be most welcome.
Enriching the discussion is always a good thing.
I can't say I've gone back and looked at the older ones. I think I discovered your blog about 3 or 4 weeks ago (the first time I commented, can't remember exactly when that was) but I'll definitely go back and look at some point. Lots of busy-ness at my house these days, so it could be a while. As a beginning point though, I can tell you that Muslims look to God as a Supreme Being, the Creator of everything (known to us as well as everything beyond our limited human knowledge and comprehension) and both love Him as well as standing in awe of Him.
For us, Jesus is a prophet of God, just as Moses, Mohamed, Abraham, Isaaq, Ishmael, Noah, and the rest were, but we do revere and love him greatly.
More to come after I've read the God-related posts.
For now, Merry Christmas! (I had a post: http://meetmyshadow.blogspot.com/2006/12/note-on-saying-merry-christmas-or-why.html, about the whole "Saying Merry Christmas when you don't celebrate it" issue...)
