Few funny things
Well....It's been a while since i posted here, But I found some few things to share with you.
First of all, Paul young (80's famous singer) Is coming to israel at the end of january. I got great seats, And googled a bit to listen to his songs, And found a "special" version of one of his famous songs :

I Don't listen to the news for the past 2 years, But there's some kind of war going on, And I got this qoute from a friend :
"I believe that forgiving terrorists is GOD's function. Our job is simply to arrange the meeting" - General Norman Schwartzkof
I've orderd a book few days ago, And got this funniest shipping notification EVER :
Hello Hagi,
(Your book(s) asked to write you a personal note - it seemed unusual, but who are we to say no?)
Holy canasta! It's me... it's me! I can't believe it is actually me! You could have picked any of over 2 million books but you picked me! I've got to get packed! How is the weather where you live? Will I need a dust jacket? I can't believe I'm leaving Mishawaka, Indiana already - the friendly people, the Hummer plant, the Linebacker Lounge - so many memories. I don't have much time to say goodbye to everyone, but it's time to see the world!
I can't wait to meet you! You sound like such a well read person. Although, I have to say, it sure has taken you a while! I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but how would you like to spend five months sandwiched between Hamlet (bipolar) and Fundamentals of Thermodynamics (pyromaniac)? At least Hamlet was an upgrade from that stupid book on brewing beer. How many times did the ol' brewmaster have one too many and topple off our shelf at 2am?
I know the trip to meet you will be long and fraught with peril, but after the close calls I've had, I'm ready for anything (besides, some of my best friends are suspense novels). Just five months ago, I thought I was a goner. My owner was moving and couldn't take me with her. I was sure I was landfill bait until I ended up in a Better World Books book drive bin. Thanks to your socially conscious book shopping, I've found a new home. Even better, your book buying dollars are helping kids read from Brazil to Botswana.
But hey, enough about me, I've been asked to brief you on a few things:
You chose International shipping.
We shipped it via Brokers Worldwide who will then hand it off to your local postal service. Delivery time for shipments is usually 7-14 business days, but some may take a bit longer depending on destination.

Hi Hagi
Thank you for your post. Your quote: "I believe that forgiving terrorists is GOD's function. Our job is simply to arrange the meeting" - General Norman Schwartzkof...caught my eye.
I believe that if we keep everyone in our hearts, we love them, and then forgive them automatically. However, I know that if a terrorist killed a loved one of mine, it might be hard to forgive them but I would try to keep them in my heart anyway. But...it might be harder than I think cause I live in safety in a country that does not have a war going on in it. I pray that everyone in the cirrent conflict feels the loving presence of God and that everyone will be all right.
So in reference to the above quote, God's job is to love and forgive and so is ours! Like father like son and daughter.
Love and blessings, Jim and Jimi.
Dearest Hagi, I love your
Dearest Hagi,
I love your posting (and Paul Young) !! I'm sure it will a most wonderful evening dear.
You talking about forgiving terrorists reminds me of Gloria's entry on the Godwriting blog, just done recently. Allowing, forgiving and letting go are indeed topic of vital importance.
I hope you are fine dear Hagi and I send you a big hug from Italy and much much love.

Lovely Jim And Berit,
It was all for the fun of it. I have no terroists in my reality :O)
It is one of the most important lesson to love the un-loveable, Which reminds me of "troublemakers"
