I spent the long weekend in Orlando visiting my mother and old friends.  The 26th also happened to be my birthday so we had a nice bit of celebrating.  The 28th we went out to Ruth’s Chris steak house and had an amazing meal.  Mom of course cooked Thanksgiving dinner and did an awesome job as always.

One thing that happened that put a damper on the whole deal was the attack in Mumbai.  I know one person that lives in India and thankfully they were no where near Mumbai but it still is heart wrenching to hear about.  The thought that armed gunmen would be able to storm through the streets then take over hotels and facilities like they did is just horrible.  Reading now how they tortured the Israelis makes my stomach turn.  I’ve spent a lot of time praying for those people these past few days.  Evil is alive and well in this world.  We cannot be afraid to confront it.
