i miss thee

i read a website today here is the info copied and pasted to and from it to my blog.

India is a country of vast diversity: many religions, many ethnic people groups, many languages, many economic classes. Pray that the people may find unity at the feet of the cross, where Jesus cleanses all from sin and makes them part of the family of God.

Taste, smell, see, hear and feel – there is such an explosion of the senses in India. It has often been called the “Land of Contradiction.” One look down the streets of India will convince anyone that this is true. Thriving, Western-style businesses stand next to small hovels made of thin plywood and salvaged scrap metal, or sometimes only tarps strung up from poles in the ground, to serve as homes for entire families. Amidst such contradiction, India is a proud country full of culture and history. Indians are full of the ‘spice’ of life, whether it is in the intense culinary spices that make Indian food distinct, or the loud and crazy celebrations that mark every festival, wedding, birthday, and successful cricket match.India is also a very religious country. The primary religion of India is Hinduism, but followers of Islam are also prevalent. Much smaller populations exist of Buddhists, Sikhs, animists, and Jains, and there are growing numbers of Christians. The country itself is home to many holy sites for Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, and Jains. The most famous of these is the Taj Mahal.
