Just got a letter today from a friend - I am now one in a million of others who can say that they know someone personally, who is over in Iraq. It feels so surreal actually - I'm sure others have felt this way too - and I can only imagine the feelings of those who are actually there. Scary? - yes, definitely. Maybe unnerving is an even better word. My prayers and thoughts are with this friend - they will be there for fifteen months.
