What a heartbreak to turn on my tv last evening and see what had happened in Paris. When I saw all those people calmly leaving the stadium, singing the French National Anthem, I lost it. I pray God's comfort and peace on all the French people, especially the injured and the loved ones of those who were killed.
We also had some scary excitement in our family. On Thursday night, a man tried to break into my sister Joanne's house. The noise woke her up, and she got a look at him on her back porch. She immediately called the police, who came quickly. But the burglar had already fled the scene. Joanne had been asleep on the couch. After the police came, they discovered the man had thrown two rocks through her bedroom window.
But Joanne is ok, and she's thinking of getting a dog.
We live in a scary world.

My heart is breaking for those affected and harmed by the senseless attacks in Paris, too. How can people turn their backs on the peaceful message of Islam and choose hatred, murder, and destruction instead?
How horribly scary for your sister but am so very thankful she escaped harm. Hope there was at least a good fingerprint to lead the police to the intruder. A noisy dog, sticker bushes (like holly) under the windows, and motion detector lights are good deterrents to those intent on breaking in.
Big hugs!

I have my two dogs and they guard the house all the time with their big dog barks. I always say that I don't mind being the house on the block with the noisy barking dogs. Hopefully the burglars will just move on when they hear all that racket!
