Homeward Bound Part 2

Well tomorrow I go home again. It seems like I just got back. So much has changed. Some of our very best friends have moved away. Steve, Holly and all 6 kids have been with Dina since we joined the church. And they have blessed us in so many ways. ( like the really nice grill they gave me when they left )They will be greatly missed. And my wounderful wife has remodeled the house. The surge troops are leaving and I may or may not have a job when I get back. This palce has been so HOT. And crawling around in the back of closded up vehicles is evan worse. My sister Cindy and her son LJ are on a great course. I hope to finish my contract but I will go were God wants me the most. This is truly a great experance. And what ever happens I am so glad I did this. I was talking to a local Iraqi Christian. I complain beacuse church does not start at the time I like. After his church is over some of the men have to go out and check the cars for bombs and the immediate area for gunmen that want to kill Christians. They only have 4-6 hours of electricty a day and high speed internet to them is 126kb a second. Once again I was humbled and realized just how good we have it. I wounder how long I can rember and appericat what I have after I get back. The scriptures are full of peoples that achived great status and fell beacuse they forget to give thanks to God for what they have. I have been writing in my journal, not as much as I should but hopefully enough. We seem to be coming to some sort of a draw down and soon it will be up to the Iraqi people as to what path they choose. I pray everyday they choose a path of peace and prosperity. So many brave people have paid the ultimate sacrafice, we all need to pray for them and there family. Off to packing and preparing I go.
All my love
