Diwali is the Festival of Lights. It is a time, similar in ways, to our Christmas. They indulge and buy gifts like crazy, idols are set out all over the place and parties and fireworks are going on all the time. It is hard to sleep during that time. When I was there last, I was in Kolkata and went to the Ganges to see people throwing their idols into the river...quite a scene...the utter depravity.

I will be leaving for Korea on the 25th, so we can keep each other in prayer!!
