Category: Crisis in Lebanon

Tense situation…

I checked my home e-mail account for the first time in several days on Friday afternoon and noticed that there were several messages flying back and forth among members of one of my Sunday School classes at church. One message said to go to the WBHM website (our local public radio station) to listen to Jay’s Saxon’s interview (you may need Quicktime).

Normally I’m pretty up to date on most international events, partially a remnant of habits I picked up from my father of buying (or now reading online) newspapers on a Sunday and feeling compelled to read some of each. And no, I didn’t always read the news; comics are a great section, even now. The recent string of surprises occurring in life has caused a disconnect with most news. I must say that I had no idea of how crazy things were beginning to get half way around the world. It also made me a sick knowing that while word was that Jay was safe and while I have still not met him as of yet, that there was someone that was sitting in harm’s way and that we are somewhat helpless, unable to do anything but wait.
