The Blogroll Shuffle

Have just gone through my periodic purge of blogroll links and got rid of a few that were pretty old. At this stage I’ve only got one that I really wanted to replace it with (although I’ll likely think of others) – “itinerant and indigent“. Hamo linked to it a while ago, and I’ve been following ever since. It’s the story and thoughts of Phil, an Australian Aid Worker in Afghanistan, and his family.

Just at the moment, he and his family are having to consider leaving Afghanistan, because the violence is getting significantly worse. From a recent post:

Proximity, frequency, severity. These three elements are how I assess security changes and threats. Proximinty we have been able to control to some degree, by not going to those areas where the attacks were most frequent and most severe. But now the attacks have come to us. Severity we have little control over. Frequency we also cannot control. And it remains to be seen how frequent these severe, close attacks are. Is one attack a year too many? One attack a month? What about such an attack every six months?

So I’d encourage you to go have a read, as well as praying for Phil and his family. It’s a completely different world.
