Yes… No… Maybe…? I don’t know!

A friend posted on Facebook about the British Government’s decision to plan air strikes over Syria, and she just simply put “no likes, no comments, other than agree or disagree…”
Made me think.
I’m so not into politics, but this whole war against ISIS affects us all.
My first thought was …
Of course we should get over there, bomb the terrorists and show them what we think! Yes!!!!! Agree!!
Then I thought, and I changed my reply…
What about all those innocents who will be killed in the midst of hoping that we are striking an ISIS stronghold? That is certainly not fair…
As I scrolled down other people’s views there was a lone ‘sitting on the fence’. I didn’t change mine but…
Do I really want to be sat in the midst of World War 3? After all this is where it’s all headed, isn’t it? I’m no politician, I can’t make these decisions, but when I see things on the news, and I see my son, Lil Man, an impressionable 10 year old, who is starting to understand the implications of these happenings, watching, with concern, then turning to me to ask ” Mummy, are we going to war?” I really don’t want all this fighting, killing and bombing.
Of course we want peace. We want any religious extremists to not be there, killing in the name of God, a God who has never condoned the taking of lives. We want these people to either change, or not be there.
But we don’t want bloodshed.
Who wants their children to be brought up in a time of war, fearing everything, because we don’t know when they are going to retaliate, and when they do, because you know they will, where these retaliations will take place?
God only knows the right decision… I, for one, really don’t.

It’s been a while since I did one of these challenges, but my big brother Rich from Wafflemethis went and did it… he challenged me, and the sibling in me thought, I have to do this one! Check it out here.
Challenge Guidelines:
Post a picture each day for five consecutive days. Attach a story to your image.
*can be fiction / non-fiction
*poem / short paragraph
*each day nominates another blogger
It was taking ages, her hands were tired, but oh it was looking beautiful.
She watched as the girl created more and more intricate patterns on her hands and feet.
She had always loved henna, but this was a different thing altogether. After all, this was the big one, the wedding henna. This was the one that, according to tradition, would predict what her mother in law would think of her… and how deep her husband-to-be’s love for her would be.
In a few hours all would become clear.
As the dried henna flaked off, she could see the bright orange colours revealing themselves. A deep, rich burnt sienna tone… and it was getting darker still…
Thank God!
At least she wasn’t going to have to bat silly comments from the old biddies in the family, who were eager to see what the outcome of the henna test was. Yes, apparently she would be loved by her Mother-in-Law, and her husband would be head over heels in love with her…
And anyway, 2 nights before the wedding, it was a little too late to be worrying about these things, wasn’t it? It’s not like she would have been able to call off the wedding!
Thank you for reading!
And as always, please, take part in the challenge to all of you!

It seems that I have been being relegated to many spam folders in the last few months… Not sure why, but Akismet decided to pick and choose when I was more spam-like and put me in the spam folders!!
A lovely man called Nick has been looking into it, as my innocent comments are most definitely not spam!!!! And I know they seem to be working better now, but please if any of you have not checked your spam folders, p,ease do, it seems many of us innocent commenters get mysteriously swooshed away to spam for no apparent reason! I know I clogged up Geoffles’s spam folder, when he want to check!
If I still go to your spam, please let me know, and if I’m there… Please release me!!!!!!
