I've just about finished another "day-away" at L'Arche Cape Breton, and I've finally had the chance to sit down and read the news.
Things are not good my friends.
But they also haven't changed.
There are still people dying in Kenya and Niger.
People are still being killed in Iraq (a conflict that was supposed to end, what - 2 years ago?)
Natural disasters continue to strike, and governments still aren't prepared for them.
People continue to die on the Gaza strip.
The Roman Catholic church continues to forget its Christian ideals of inclusion and focus more on keeping the "immoral" people out.
There are fears of terrorism, worries about oil and famous people receiving more publicity because they've used drugs.
Some changes?
Well, the IRA finally seems to be serious about disarmament. That's a start at least.
Some incredibly great news for the week:
The newest addition to the Batchilder family has arrived : Abigail Juliette
Proud Parents: Chris and Chantal
Proud Brother: Oliver
And everyone else is just beaming. She's beautiful - of course, what did you expect from a Batchilder woman?
Life at L'Arche Cape Breton continues to be wonderful.
Hopefully (for at least a little while) Abby will only have to see the "L'Arche Cape Breton" side of the world.
