Explosions close at hand
As is my habit, I’m an early riser so I can get a jump on my day while things are quiet.
In the past 10 minutes, I’ve heard three major explosions - all coming from the RZ - but large enough to be signficantly heard from where I’m sitting.
This just makes my heart ache. This is the busiest time of the morning here - about 0600 - people are up and about going to the market - making their way to work - lining up at checkpoints all over the city to come into the IZ. They can often spend hours at the checkpoints as everyone is searched coming into the IZ.
I know that in the past 20 minutes people have been killed and lives have been forever changed.
Please pray for the people of Iraq. Most just want peace and are pushed and pulled between a number of different groups none of which have the ordinary people of Iraq’s best interest at heart.
This is such a desparate situation. Another large explosion just as I’ve been sitting here writing this. This one close enough to shake the villa a little.
Your prayers are appreciated.
Blessings to all
My heart aches for the people of Iraq. Remember look for the GOD winks they are there. Stay safe.
Regards
Jim
Until the people there learn to exist in peace within their separate religious structures it will never work. It is very difficult to argue with the retort “God told me.”
