From the font of all good thoughts of the day:
Thus says the LORD:
You say, “The LORD’s way is not fair!”
Hear now, house of Israel:
Is it my way that is unfair, or rather, are not your ways unfair?
When someone virtuous turns away from virtue to commit iniquity, and dies,
it is because of the iniquity he committed that he must die.
But if he turns from the wickedness he has committed,
he does what is right and just,
he shall preserve his life;
since he has turned away from all the sins that he has committed,
he shall surely live, he shall not die. – Ez. 18:25-28
All of us, I think, have our personal pile of iniquity to answer for – I certainly do. Carrying it further, we as a nation have a pile of iniquity, as well. But we can, at any moment, turn from them…and though our sins be as scarlet, we will be made white as snow. As individuals and as a people, we can be better…much better. So better that the resultant peace and justice will make the best times of the past seem a dark and wicked time.
I’m going to try.

Irena Sendler
Died 12 May 2008 (aged 98)
Warsaw, Poland
During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw ghetto, as a
Plumbing/Sewer specialist.
She had an ‘ulterior motive’.
She KNEW what the Nazi’s plans were for the Jews (being German).
Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried
and she carried in the back of her truck a burlap sack, (for larger
kids).
She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi
soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto.
The soldiers of course wanted nothing to do with the dog and the
barking covered the kids/infants noises.
During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500
kids/infants.
She was caught, and the Nazi’s broke both her legs, arms and beat her
severely.
Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and
kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in her back yard.
After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived
it and reunited the family.
Most had been gassed. Those kids she helped got placed into foster
family homes or adopted.
Last year Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize.
She was not selected.
pResident Obama won one year before becoming President for his work as
a community organizer for ACORN
and
Al Gore won also — for a slide show on Global Warming.
In MEMORIAM – 63 YEARS LATER
I’m doing my small part by forwarding this message.
I hope you’ll consider doing the same..
It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe
ended.
This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the six
million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900
Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved
and humiliated!
Now, more than ever, with Iran , and others, claiming the HOLOCAUST to
be ‘a myth’.
It’s imperative to make sure the world never forgets, because there are
others who would like to do it again.
This e-mail is intended to reach 40 million people worldwide!
Join us and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it
around the world..
Neocon,
I am so sorry to hear that –
neo, I am so sorry to hear about your friend. His suffering must have been great, and it is sad that he did not turn to his friends and family, but as I learned when a friend took his own life many years ago, in the depths of such pain it is hard to see a way out. My condolences….
Thanks all.
