Pray for the Middle East

So I ate before I went to bed (again) last night and had a very bad dream.

I dreamt that we were traveling on the highway toward a particular city (I don't really know where) and while we were traveling, we saw it being bombed so we turned around to go back to the town we left.

We saw a bridge we had just left being blown up. It was frightening. We kept on traveling and continued to see the different areas (mall, train station, downtown, etc.) of this town being bombed. At the end we were trying to find family to warn them of the impending bombs and to take them to safety (where that was I did not know). They weren't moving quick enough and we knew a bomb was coming and it did. In the dream I knew it was a dream and was glad to wake myself up.

I was so very glad that that was not something I must face on a daily basis. But then I started to think of the middle east and how that is something they wake up and go to sleep to everyday.

No doubt there is a 25 year old woman, trying to live a "normal" life but this is a nightmare she must face everyday! I know that they have had much unrest over there for many years but I guess I was thinking how much we have to be thankful for in America AND how much I really need to pray for them there in the middle east. No matter how "normal" it may be for them, for a sinner to be faced with so much life and death uncertainty cannot be peaceful. God show mercy!!!

We must pray, about the terrible catastrophes we face, men who are our leaders of today. We pray the fear of God won't go away (though it is leaving). We've got babies having babies, men who act like ladies it's a shame,...(can't remember the rest of the song)

Knoxville - 2

Knoxville was really GREAT!! I had an all around good time!

My soul was richly blessed and encouraged! Totally inspired to be ALL that God wants me to be! Thank God!! I looking forward for my CDs to come in so I can "chew the cud" as the older saints used to say.

My body (on the other hand) was hurting...after kickball. AND I actually played VOLLEYBALL, after YEARS of not doing too much on the court...I did this year! Not a real game of course.

I am still amazed at the corn maze we did...I am usually pretty good with directions...but I was truly amazed...it was a REAL maze. I have been in a "commercialized" maze...where it was VERY easy to get through...but this one was with REAL corn stalks...whew!! (I sound REALLY "citified" - is that a real word?).

It was great staying with the Nienhyus' (spelling is off...I know) and the others they had at their house. We had a good time!

My mom had a REALLY good time!! It was her first campmeeting and she was like on cloud 9 for the week!! She told me, "for all the meetings you go to for the next year...reserve a place in your car for me". She was very encouraged.

I am really thankful today...because there are many things my flesh would love to complain about...but we do NOT live after the flesh but after the SPIRIT!! PRAISE GOD!! He is so good, to give me so many blessings, undeserving that's what I am, so I'll praise Him, love and thank Him, a little more today and a whole lot more tomorrow.
