***THE HEAT IN IRAQ***

***The Heat In IRAQ***

Dedicated To All Our Troops In IRAQ

As I sit here in my nice comfortable room, I think

about the suffering and pain my son and the troops

are going through in IRAQ.

With the average temperature being about 130 degrees

it feels to them like a hot hair dryer constantly being on

them with no relief in sight.  It also feels as though they

are in the kitchen where their dinner is being prepared

and the oven door is opened to check on their dinner.

That blast of heat when they open the oven door is the

heat felt in IRAQ at all times of the day. 

Now maybe when they are blessed at night the temperature

will drop down to 100 degrees.  That is a slight relief for our

troops.  That drop in IRAQ is like 60 degrees here in the U.S.,

a welcome change in temperature.

Don’t dare leave your water bottle outside in the heat of the

day, if you do, be prepared to make hot tea because that is

how hot the water will be.  Who wants hot tea in the middle

of the dessert?

Let’s continue to pray for our troops everywhere.
