Exodus chapter 8 - about the plaque of frogs. It says that the magicians of that time could also bring frogs, but they couldn't get rid of them. Anyone can create chaos, only God can get rid of it.
On this day -
1793 - The Holy Roman Emperor formally declared war on France. (anyone else see the confusion here?)
1988 - Eight or Ten of us went to the Shrine Circus. I love the circus, except now, after reading "Water for Elephant's" I wonder if the animals are well cared for. Remember when we would think we would run away to join the circus? Don't, it isn't all it's cracked up to be, and I can't imagine wearing those skimpy costumes anymore.
Parenting - I guess some young people did run away and join the circus. Some might have gone because of bad circumstances at home, some maybe for the excitement. Many young people make this decision, still today. Unfortunately, for most it doesn't work out well. Human traffickers are waiting, with drugs and promises to lure them into bad situations. Keep an eye out for kids you think may be at risk for this behavior, don't take their threats of running away lightly.
Book club - Blood and Beauty by Dunant, as mentioned above, it seems so counterproductive to have the church, waging war, supporting war, or being any part of war. But they have, read about it here.
