Home Shrine

It rained all day today making it impossible to work outside in the garden. However, it did not stop the three MICAH prayer vigils for homicide victims. As the weather warms the number of homicides increases. At the first prayer vigil for a young man killed outside of his house, I noticed that the house next door was unique. I am not sure how to describe it but would probably say it looked like a shrine rather than a house. A collection of statues, structures and flowers gives this house the feel of a personal shrine.

I had my camera present at the vigil since I take pictures for the Mothers Against Gun Violence (MAGV) memorial pages. For 2010 my friend with MAGV is behind in listing the homicides and I, although I have pictures, have not added any yet. I need to put vigil pictures on the ones listed for 2010 and we both need to update the 2010 Homicide Victim list.

The rain halts gardening, the home shrine stays the same but the homicides go on and up. Rain and home shrines do not stop homicides.
