Scenes from Iraq
This week Catherine sent me some pictures that I want to share with you. Some of them were sent under the heading, "Pictures from Iraq that are too shocking and too graphic for the mainstream media," along with some others that say, "Photos that will never make the news."
It doesn't take you very long to see why, but you've got to wonder! What is so wrong with the expressing joy like the boys with the soldier above, or expressing gratitude like the woman below.
Now it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand the problem with this next one. Look at it! The Iraqi boy is kissing the American Flag!
Of course, you are asking, "what's wrong with that?" I'll tell you what's wrong. The media just can't stand to see so much "pro-American" sentiment. Somebody's is liable to find out that we ARE the GOOD GUYS!
Now this is a DANGEROUS picture. It' just isn't politically correct! There's got to be some kind of liberal agenda rule against using any kind of picture making the president look good! He's supposed to be the really BAD GUY!
The Good Guys are heroes to the Iraqi children. Now that's a hard pill for the liberal media to swallow! However, that's not the worst of it! They are not only full of compassion for children but can take time to pet a kitten or miss the scent of his wife back home.
This last picture below gladdens my heart as much as it saddens the those who want us to be painted as the bad guys! I call this one, "Onward Christian Soldiers!"
Don't forget to pray daily for our troops and for revival in Iraq. Let's join these brave Christian Soldiers in prayer. They are ours. May God bless you as you join the prayer force giving continued support to our troops.

Even if you don't believe in the reason, you have to believe in our troops. God bless them and keep them.
Sometimes in my strong desire to get the troops home, I do lose sight and any hope in the reason for all this chapter in the dreadful circumstances that our precious men and women are facing, not just every day, but every moment. They are daily in some of the most horrific encounters that you can possibly imagine. When I think of it, I cannot possibly see how it is worth their effort. Then I see pictures like the ones in this article, or hear an interview with someone who has been there, done that, and I am in awe of what is truly happening. Even though it is their life that is constantly on the line, it is these brave souls who do not lose their faith or the courage to stand true to the cause that they willing serve and remain loyal to. Only a short while ago, some areas of Iraq were not allowing Holy Bibles in their midst. Other areas allowed the Bible, but no public displays of it or its' truths. Now, largely because of the presence of our efforts, Bibles are not only allowed, they can be freely purchased by our military there. It is a treasure that many of our soldiers are taking advantage of, as they realize they are part of a piece of history that is helping to change lives that might never have been reached otherwise. We are in their prayers when they group together as in this final picture. Shouldn't we be doing this for them? Seek out a former or current member of our military today and personally thank them for their service!
