Flintstone Powered Car

First a disclaimer: Karen did not dress Evan this morning - I did. And everything matched this morning until he peed on his shirt and pants. After that I just kinda made due since Karen was off running errands. She thought Evan's wardrobe was so comical she took a picture of him with her phone and e-mailed her Mom and sister. However, this is not the reason for this post.

Evan sat in the driver seat of his first car. Granted it's Flintsone powered, but there he is. We decided there was no sense in paying for an activity center for $100 bucks and then turning around to pay another $40 for a walker. We've got a blanket in front and behind him, but it won't be long until he doesn't need those at all. He likes it pretty well for a 4.5 month little boy.

Lybia

This is going to give away my age, but the only thing I really know about Lybia comes from the Back To The Future movies. I stumbled across this blog with images of Lybia and I am reminded they aren't just angry people, half way around the world, rioting in the streets. They are people with hearts and minds, with families, and a culture all of their own. It is really neat to see them this way. 
Check out the blog article and then follow the link to Charles O Cecil's photo gallery. He was the U.S. Ambassador to Lybia for many years and took some great photographs of the people there. Most of them are not Christians, but that certainly does not mean we shouldn't love them as fellow creatures of God. God made us all. Jesus died for us all. I don't think we have the luxury of not praying for people who are not like us.
