Boys of Summer


It was so hot yesterday, I turned on the sprinkler and my least 'un and his friend across the street had some fun cooling off.
There are few things in the world that get me more fired up than seeing a person, or group of people being oppressed or mistreated. I've had a hard time with the Olympic games since it was announced that the games were being held in China. I have nothing against anyone who is from China, but I have strong opinions about China's government. I also have strong opinions about our own, and the fact we import so many things from China that have been dangerous for the people of the United States.
I'm working on a story about a program that gets Bibles into China. If you are a Christian, or of any other religious belief, and you live in a country where you can freely practice your religion, please take a moment to offer up a prayer of thanksgiving.
As I get more confirmed information, I will be sharing it here.
Here's a quote from Sojourners.com
"In the Olympic Village, you can find religious freedom. Maybe some foreigners can worship. ... But I tell you, the real crisis in China now is that there are no reformers left. The power struggle among the leadership is for power, not reform. To have real political reform, they would lose their power.
