I am a Kentucky mountain girl far from home, perhaps far from the girl years. Still, my heart longs to return to the top of Low Gap mountain and peer off into the distance; to see the hills rolling and tumbling out before me, and the wind ruffling the trees' leaves, causing them to ripple like waves in some immense pond.

A Bit O' News
The war in Iraq is still raging. Like most wars I've read about, this one has its ebb and flow just like all of the others. Michael Yon is a freelance journalist that has been reporting from the front and blogging about it. I find his articles sad, somehow uplifting, and always focusing on the fighting men and women in a positive light, because what they are doing is anything BUT easy. One of his latest articles, The Battle Over Body Armor, as usual, made me sit back and think. I highly encourage you to read it.
