Israel

It seems with all the turmoil in the Middle East the USA needs to strengthen our bonds with Israel and not try to make her sell out to her enemies with the road map to peace. Now with the Palestinian government combing Fatah and Hamas(a terrorist organtion), Israel needs to stand up since Hamas wants to take over Israel. A good website to check out Israeli issues is christianactionforisrael.org. I learn a lot from that website. I need to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Movies and bad language

I enjoy to watch movies however it is hard to find a clean movie to watch. I have only went to the theatre once in the last year and that was to see The Christmas Carol in 3-D. I would have liked to watch Avatar however I read that it has cussing in it. I have used the following website to get movies where they take out the cussing, sexual scenes, and violence. That website is www.cleanplaydvds.com. I have purchased Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan from them. I appreciate that I can watch the movie and not worry about seeing sex scene or hear cussing. Both movies happen about real life events so I have learned things from watching the movies. I lived in Godollo, Hungary in the Spring of 1996 and saw Schindler's apartment. I then went to Aushwitcz and will never forget the rooms of eyeglasses and suitcases.
I need to pray that Hollywood will produce movies that would glorify God.

Mandalyn

About 4 weeks ago on Wed. morning, Jan. 6th around 12:45am, we had a new daughter Mandalyn Joan Cook. She weighed in at 9 pounds, 4 ounces. Labor went well. Deana didn't use any drugs. I had to drive about 75 to 80 mph to get there. Here is a picture of the little dumpling. God was good to us. We are thankful.
