A story of a family from Michigan, USA who traveled to Egypt for work.....served, laughed, loved....thrived thru the Egyptian Revolution....and then returned to Michigan after the job ended abruptly due to economic conditions.

Sounds of the City

Lots of traffic! (not the full load, but DEFINITELY lots!)

People laughing and talking on the streets!

And some banks opened for awhile today!

Lots of schools going! (including Jasmine's)

Hard to know if this is the sounds of the city...or the eye of the storm....you know the calm before it moves thru entirely....

Good thing my hope isn't based on the news ;)

Individuals are helping in Cairo to keep lists of people...mothers and fathers would wake up and find their son(s) leaving for the square...and not see them again for days....many have no idea what have happened to their husbands and sons.

Individuals are continuing to organize to distribute food.

I love seeing people work together - irregardless of their nationality, religion or social status.....it's beautiful!

Praise God and praying that it is the TAIL end not the EYE of the storm! But if the crisis continues so do the opportunities, right?! I didn't get to read all of that post yet, but will later tonight. I liked the begining though!
