Itzhak had what my kids call a blowout this morning - a complete failure of the diaper to contain its contents. Alas, he did that while I was out in the kitchen and he'd jumped up in my chair. It was 5:30 a.m. and waking Pam didn't seem like a great idea, so I wrestled with a wiggly goat kid and got a onsesy and two diapers off, then the whole process reversed.
I felt like quite the wizard.
Israel says they have solid proof that President Obama and his administration authored and pushed the U.N. resolution that condemned Israeli settlements in the West Bank. This despite the fact the U.S. (and only the U.S.) abstained from the otherwise unanimous Security Council vote to approve the resolution.
If Israeli intelligence has that proof they fall into the same category as the Russians when it comes to hacking, only in this case it's the govt. that was the target.
I suspect the truth is that Israel, Russia, China, and every nation bigger than Akron, OH has hacked us, and we've hacked them. But it's like Uncle Henry's bad breath; it's something we just don't talk about.
What did surprise me (assuming the report was accurate) is that the resolution includes a statement that the Western Wall of Temple Mount (formerly known as the Wailing Wall) is "occupied territory" that belongs to the Palestinians. Anyone who's been to Israel knows there's no place on earth more revered in Judaism. If the President knew that it's no wonder Israel is steamed. If he didn't know....
The goats are changing rapidly. Asante is now the size Itzhak was when we got him, and they're all about goaty jumping. Up on anything they think they can top, and if there's nothing nearby for jumping onto they'll just jump in place.
My mind is working pretty much all day on Sunday's preaching at our church. I've had trouble with guest gigs in the past, feeling afterward like I'd made a mess of it. And I know the reason, so besides spending time in sermon prep I'm spending extra time in preacher prep.
I am susceptible to thinking too much about doing a good job so people are impressed with my homiletical prowess. That's a pitfall, for sure. It must be HE>i
I can have no thought of anything but pointing people to him through the delivery of his Word.
It's hard to shut out self.
