Sunday 10th November

Do you know how many people looked at my blog yesterday?   91.   91!!!!!!!!!!!!   There were 590 last month, which I think averages about 19 a day, and even that baffles me.   I can think of three loved ones, and about seven friends who regularly read it.   Even with the NSA monitoring it I can't see how it would mount up to 91 in one day.

Anyway, for all of you who find this so fascinating - this has been a pretty uneventful day.  I woke up early this morning as I was picking up the donuts for Emmanuel, and reading at the 8 o'clock.   I thought of going to a service somewhere else at 11, but felt too tired.   I always consider going somewhere in the evening, but at the moment there are some very good competitions Sunday evening on the Food Network.

I finished reading the second of two books written by a Cuban refugee, Carlos Eire, one of the 14,000 children airlifted to the United States when Castro took over.  Although he said this airlift was kept from the American people, it still amazes me that even in this day and age no one seems to know about it.  It certainly wouldn't get past Fox News today.

 Something else which shocked me was the destruction of the churches there.  He and his brother watched as Revolutionaries smashed up crosses, icons, everything that is in churches.  Even the communist regimes in the former Soviet Union weren't that bad.   They closed the churches but didn't carry out acts of wanton destruction.
