July 22

So sorry I have not written anything in a while.  Things have been the same for me and I didn't really feel I had anything new to write about.  Things have continued on with Operation Protective Edge, but since I am not acquainted with anyone who has been sent into Gaza, I would only be repeating what I've read in the news here, which you can all see for yourselves.  There have been several more Israeli deaths in the Gaza Strip offensive.  In Bible study last night our leader pointed out how before the ground offensive began everyone was talking about how good the IDF is and about Israeli intelligence and know-how, but it took the deaths in the ground defensive for people to start calling on God.  Of course they lack a true understanding of who He is, but at least now they recognize they cannot do things on their own.
