Archaelogy bringing muslims and jews together

I came across this story in Archaeology Abstracts which talks about how Jewish and Muslim children as well as adults are coming together to help archaeologists on a dig. It just pleases my heart to hear some positive stories from this part of the world. It is a beautiful quality in children to be void of prejudices until they are taught and hopefully this project does help the community take pride in their history and come together. I once heard it is better for us to celebrate our diversity and learn from one another. I recently had a baby girl who will be 9 months old this weekend. She is American born, her father is from Yemen and Muslim. I am six generations American and used to study Christianity but my father's side of the family is Jewish. Anyway I wanted to share this article for those who are also interested in peace and unity. to read the article click here:

"It's Elementary My Dear Watson"

Sherlock Holmes

The recent film starring Robert Downey Jr, and Jude Law was action packed and enjoyable. It was refereshing to see a new take on the classic. I wondered if the addiction issues of Holmes would hit to close to home for Robert. However I felt he did a good job of this modern interpretation. The film had me on the edge of my seat. Watson seemed to be a stronger character in this version which was a nice twist. I am inclined to appreciate female heros and therefore enjoyed the female leads in this movie as well.
