This is a "pass along" note from Bob and Nancy Hall. I don't know who Mary and Bill are. And it wasn't me who checked to see whether it is a hoax or not.....

Our church is currently studying together a topic titled "Daring to Dream again.." and one of the things we are asked to do is check for "God Sightings" as we "hunt for evidence of God and God's hand in our lives on a daily basis.

This certainly would be a God Sightings..

From the Halls:

I got this article from a friend and checked it to make sure it wasn't a hoax.

Sandstorms

I am sure that all of you heard about the sandstorm in Iraq (the worst in 100 years some say) and the drenching rain that followed the next day. Our troops were bogged down and couldn't move effectively.

The media was already wondering if the troops were in a "quagmire" and dire predictions of gloom and doom came from the left wing media.

What they didn't report was that, after the weather had cleared, the Marine group that was mired the worst looked out at the plain they were just about to cross. What did they see? Hundreds if not thousands of anti-tank and anti-personnel mines had been uncovered by the wind and then washed off by the rain. If they had proceeded as planned, many lives would have undoubtedly been lost.

As it was, they simply drove around them and let the demolition teams destroy them.

Thanks be to God! Thank you God, for protecting our young men and women!

One person once asked George Washington if he thought God was on his side. His reply is reported to be, "It is not that God should be on our side, but that we be on His."

I thought you might like this answer to prayer! We see God's provision and protection through wind, sand and rain! (Must have been a mighty army of angels stirring things up!)

Blessings, Mary & Bill
