I got this in an email today. It was written by a housewife in New Jersey.
Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001? Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation's capital and in a field in Pennsylvania? Did nearly 3,000 men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?
And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was 'desecrated' when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?...Well, I don't. I don't care at all.
I'll start caring when Osama Bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11. I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia. I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for chopping off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat. I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in
mosques. I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide. I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.
In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave Marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care. When I see a fuzzy picture of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don't care. When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don't care. When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed 'special' food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don't care. And og, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quarn.' Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and you guessed it - I don't care.

My Personal Favorite:
There have been only 2 people willing to die for you. Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. One will die for your salvation and the other will die for your Freedom.
I have to say that both Sergio and I agree 100% with what this women write. God Bless America.!
This is a reflection in an indoor lake which is 18-24 inches deep.
On Saturday, Serg and I went to Luray Caverns. I had gone once while in elementary school for a field trip but Serg had never been before. He thought that the caves were awesome and it was definitely worth seeing! The whole tour takes about an hour, its 1.2 miles long and takes you 625 feet below the surface. The temperature stays at a constant 54 degrees. It takes 120 years for a single cubic inch of rock to form. The cavern is over 200 million years old. Seeing things like this just reinforce how amazing and perfect God made everything. God is so great!
