Cheyenne Sun Dance

The Sun Dance. . . a ceremony common to most Plains Indian and a few Great Basin tribes. The central theme of the Cheyenne Sun Dance is world renewal: to make the whole world over again. It begins with the Lodge-maker who makes his vow and following that everything is supposed to begin to take new life, for the Medicine-Spirit {Maiyun}, having heard the prayer of the pledger begins at once to answer it, not so much for the pledger himself or his family, as for the whole tribe.

d-day

60 years ago, the allied forces launched an attack at normandy on the germans who had occupied the country of france.
it's really amazing that, 60 years later, france would invite germany for the d-day observation.
talk about the grace of God being in us...
