We had a quiet night last night here in Jerusalem However, I woke up to hear on the news at 8am that Tel Aviv and much of the centre are in shelters as is much of the south. On no account are to send chocolate. Only salt and vinegar crisps will do the trick for me. ;)Rachel Selbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13113411205306116614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-5226338598058286302014-07-10T04:43:23.212+03:002014-07-10T04:43:23.212+03:00Rachel, I had exactly the same reaction as Jane. ...Rachel, I had exactly the same reaction as Jane. The thought of you hunching over a balled up DD outside reduced me to a sobbing mess. I'm praying for everyone's safety, for wisdom and strength to those on the "front" lines and for a quick de-escalation of violence. Holding you in my thoughts and sending hugs. Should I send chockies too?

I was 14 when the war in former Yugoslavia started, and if the experience taught me anything, it's that a good reason to go to war does not exist - and that in a war, there are no winners. I am hoping - and praying - that peace wins.
