The Write of Return: Israel, 24 Years Later
I lived, worked and traveled in Israel from June 1984-June 1985, when I was 21 turning 22 years old. I didn't know anyone and I didn't speak the language. Now, 24 years later, I'm returning to visit this country with my husband and three children for two weeks through a congregational trip that will last 15 days. This blog is my diary of this occasion. -

Ohio News Now will be carrying it here at 1pm today (E.S.T.):
ZANESVILLE, Ohio — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is to announce plans to expand President George W. Bush’s program steering federal social service dollars to religious groups and support some ability to hire and fire based on faith.
Obama is scheduled to unveil his approach to getting religious charities more involved in government and anti-poverty programs during a tour and remarks on Tuesday afternoon.
The event is scheduled to begin at about 1 p.m. Watch it live on ONN. If you’re not near a TV set, watch it on 10TV.com and ONNTV.com.
I suspect there are some Ohio bloggers there because I believe the event was closed to the public but open to the press, though not 100% sure on that. I’ll try to live-blog it.

Back to Zanesville, where rich Michelle told not as rich Zanesville how it was so tough to send her kids to summer camp
Ok look, I believe religious groups do good things, but I can’t help it, I cringe at the fact that they get tax exemptions, and that’s a historical tradition. I don’t think it was pandering and that actually bothers me more.
Luckily we get to weigh the good with the bad and he’s still the best candidate.
