Well, the Lebanese are truly amazing. We have had two quiet days in Beirut and already people are getting back to getting on with life. After spending around three hours bagging rice, sugar, tea and burghul, (my back and arms are so sore!!!!), Jessie and I had our 'date', which she has been asking for, for the past three weeks. Wadih was able to fill some petrol this morning with only a half hour wait and so we were able to go down to the mall. We just did girlie things like window shop, have lunch at McDonalds and we also got a new book each for John and Jessie. It was very nice to just be out and about and I was amazed at how many people were there. Things are still a bit uncertain and people are now worried about the civil state of affairs. More about that later.
One concern at the moment is lack of work. I have an opportunity to do some proof reading for a local librarie. I have to call the guy this week to get details, but it sounds good. I should be able to do most of the work at home. Please pray for work for Wadih. As you can imagine there are not many concerts or festivals happening at the moment and it is very hard for him just being at home. I am hoping that this is an opportunity to find something new, but we would appreciate your prayers. Love and blessings to you all.

If you can get work from home that sound encouraging. Off the sort out some more sheep for sale today as the feed situation is getting very low and still no forcast for rain.
