I know that we are all feeling the effects of some extreme weather. Whether it be high temps or high winds we are finding it difficult or dangerous to go about our daily lives in normal fashion. I was reminded to put things into perspective when I received this prayer request in an email this morning. lease take a look at the weather forecast for Baghdad for the past 7 days! These are normal weather conditions in that part of the world. I know that there are weather threads in the forums, but I felt that this was material for the main blog area. I know how much you all care about each other and how caring the folks here are and I was certain that your prayers would make a difference for our troops and the extreme conditions they face on a regular basis. Also I do not litter cyberspace with chain emails -EVER, but I have forwarded this email several times today and have also gotten it back a few times - it appears that everyone is relating to the weather aspect (no surprise). Please keep an extra breath on hand for this extra prayer tonight. Sincerely, Jo

Thats 122 Degrees!!!

Prayer request .

According to the weather reports, it is our understanding that it is 122 degrees in Iraq right now -- and the low will be 111! Our troops need our prayers for strength, endurance, and safety.. If it be God's will, give these men and women the strength they need to prevail.

'Lord, please hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.'

Prayer Request: When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our troops around the world.

Just send this to all the people in your address book. Do not let it stop with you, please.

Of all the gifts you could give a US Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine & others deployed in harm's way, Prayer is the very best one!

bsmitch	Jun 10, 2008 \| 4:20 PM PST I don't believe war is ever necessary. That's my opinion and I'm not trying to change anyone else's opinion. I pray every day for the world's love and understanding of all of us. Since that is slow in coming. I pray to end this particular war and bring our young men and women home and let that weather for the Iraqis who are used to it. You have a great day and happy gardening. Bill Mitchell
carolyncat353	Jun 10, 2008 \| 7:06 PM PST These Young, And I do mean YOUNG men and women are in the military on their own, not dictated that they have to be, they believe in what they are doing, and they believe in each other. They gave up all the comforts of home, and being able to come and go as they please, and many times be without items such as soap, deodorant and toothpaste, all for US to be able to come and go as WE please. I say prayers for our troops every day! That's not too much to ask. Last edited by carolyncat353 on June 10th at 7:07 PM.
