While I'm gone, visit the blogdom's resident Hebrew Scholar Talmida. She has a great analysis of the hebrew word "shalom" and the verb "shalem." Well worth the read.
Also on this Mothers' Day Weekend - how many of you know about the original pre-hallmark meaning of the day? Read Julia Ward Howe's Original Mother's Day Proclamation from 1870. Here's a teaser:
"Arise, then, women of this day! Arise all women who have hearts, whether our baptism be that of water or of fears! ... We women of one country will be too tender of those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs. From the bosom of the devastated earth a voice goes up with our own. It says "Disarm, Disarm! The sword of murder is not the balance of justice."Blessings!
