ANOTHER car in the shop incident (2nd one so far this trip, more on that later), The Grand Canyon, visiting with Hubby’s brother and family, a shopping trip to Mexico, A visit with Hubby’s uncle and family and a visit to Mt. Lemmon in Tucson, Carlsbad Caverns, and now we are here, where ever this is….
We plan on hitting San Antonio tomorrow and pick up our house keys. Our household goods will arrive on Monday the 4th. So hopefully in a week or two we are back on schedule with this whole blogging thing!

This Weeks Soldier Was Suggested By Kathy
41 years old from Ann-Arbor, Michigan
Specialist Ahmed Qusai al-Taayie is a Iraqi American U.S. Army linguist soldier, from Ann-Arbor, Michigan who was kidnapped on October 23, 2006 in Baghdad and has not been seen since.
al-Taayie joined the Army in 2004 to help not only his country, the United States, but also his birthplace of Iraq and was deployed in 2005. On October 23, 2006 he was visiting his wife in the Karrada Shiite neighborhood in central Baghdad when he and his cousin were kidnapped by a group calling themselves Ahel al-Beit Brigades. His cousin was released shortly after. On November 2, 2006 al-Taayie’s uncle received a ransom demand of $250,000 for his return. Along with the ransom came a grainy video that showed a man beaten up who was identified as al-Taayie. No more has been heard from al-Taayie or his captures.

What Bible Are They Reading?
I pass by this one church in town every time I take my son to school and on the marque they always have a saying of some sorts. You can tell this is a very liberal church simply by the comments that they post. Most of them annoy my husband and I but this last week I was down right angry over it! I wanted to march in their and give their pastor a talking to and ask him what Bible he was reading! Did he bother to even read it??? It said…
Give evil nothing to oppose and it will disappear by itself.
WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Let me ask this, what does evil oppose or rather what opposes evil? Is it not God? Is it not good? So if we are to give evil nothing to oppose, that means no good and do away with God! Have we become so desensitized to evil that we no longer see it that way? Why is the church so much like the world? Aren’t we supposed to be a peculiar people, set apart and holy for God?
Isaiah 5:20
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
