What amazes you?

Many things in daily life amaze us if we take the time to look and listen. What are those things for you?

For me, today, it is the sunshine after rain and the joy of working together as a family on a project.

Power, Faith, and Fantasy

Half-way through Orem's book on America's long relationship with the Middle East.  Excellent background so far into this multi-faceted and deep relationship.  Finished about 7 January 2012.  Great read on the extensive background of America's involvement with the "Middle East".

Highly recommended for a quick background study on the macro-level of individual American's involvement, to include governmental policies in the region.  Much of the story revolves around missionary zeal, in the beginning, and transitions to commercial interests as the decades roll on.  This is the pivotal point.  Commerce strains and ultimately stains the relationship between America and the Middle East.
