To all our Jewish friends, Happy Purim!

From the Purim on the Net website:

Purim is the most festive of Jewish holidays, a time of prizes, noisemakers, costumes and treats. The Festival of Purim commemorates a major victory over oppression and is recounted in the Megillah, the scroll of the story of Esther. Purim takes place on the fourteenth and fifteenth days of Adar, the twelfth month of the Jewish calendar. This year (2007) Purim begins at sundown on the 03rd of March

We’re watching For Your Consideration this evening, a movie about the Oscar buzz surrounding three actors in the film Home for Purim, a 1940’s period piece…

My sister’s mother-in-law, “S” is in the hospital. She had breast cancer, and was in remission, but the cancer has returned and metastasized. It is now lurking everywhere.

Please pray that “S” remains comfortable and can finish all her business in her remaining time with us.
