Letters from Iraq

I've been reading the Letters from Baghdad weblog. The young man writing the letters was but a child when his family joined the church that I pastored in Houston.

This weblog came online a couple weeks ago. The letters being posted date from the beginning of the war in Iraq. The letters were sent to his mother. (She set up this weblog and has another weblog called On the Homefront where she posts her own thoughts and comments.)

I highly recommend these letters to anyone interested in unfiltered and honest first person perspective from the frontlines in Iraq. I suggest scrolling to the bottom and reading them in the order they were written (from bottom to top).

I will read these letters, I have been very interested in what is really going on.

On another note. Bruce, I received and e-mail from the "Christian Alliance for Progression" They seem to be trying to change politics.
Have you heard anything?

Penni,

They are one of a number of groups that are springing up on the left and middle to counter the influence of the Religious Right.
