Five years ago, @holland_tom suggested that someone should find a song to represent each of the 66 Biblical books (sorry Catholics, Orthodox, etc.). The following is what I came up with.
Rules: no bad songs, no church songs, no repeated artists, and nothing too obscure. Read on!
@LBFlyawayhome The first book I read by myself - I remember that moment of realising that "t-h-e" spelled "the" and remember going round all the adults in the room to tell them about this new word I could read!
What could bring me back to this site but the need to point out the typo I found in my @TheRestHistory Christmas present! Absolute scenes as my brain scrambled to process the dates… still thoroughly enjoying it though!
Let us understand, my daughters, that true perfection consists in love of God and neighbour; the more perfectly we keep these two commandments, the more perfect we will be.

This is my cousin and what she and her mum had to endure during Covid - and hundreds of families like them - the misery and frustration are heartbreaking - the stories need told, the voices need to be heard, the lessons must be learned, change must happen.
@KerryKe98646929 @JaneyGodley Yes! I was just remembering this, my mum was devastated she missed the ending! I still have her very worn copy of the book - reread it every few years - a classic.
The numbers speak volumes.
Over 1400 people killed in Israel in the terror attack
Over 4000 Palestians killed by the retaliatory bombardment
300 000 troops poised for a ground assault
Over 1000 000 children live in Gaza
Over 1000 000 people have been internally displaced
20 aid trucks in so far
203 people kidnapped
2 kidnapped civilians released
