CTV.ca | Hezbollah military positions destroyed: Israel
I just read this article on the recent fighting on the border of Israel and Lebanon. I found it to be a very familiar story. But not a familiar story from this century–rather from the Old Testament days–the days of the Israelites, God's people, when they were attacking and being attacked by neighbouring nations.

I seem to get tired of things rather quickly. Following that habit, I've decided to try blogging outside of Blogger. I love my Google and all its affiliations, but it's not always the best out there… really!
