This might be interesting


I thought you guys might find it interesting to see just how some of Beirut has been affected by this war. This is a before and after photo of a suburb in Beirut. You can see just how many of the buildings have been destroyed and this is just one area. The bombing that I spoke about today took out 8 more buildings with about 20 rockets. This has happened in many places all over Lebanon. This is war!

P.S. I am adding this a couple of hours after the original post as we have been regularly bombed all afternoon now. Every 1/2 hour or so there is another couple of explosions and it is hard to imagine that in a few hours, come morning, this will all be over. Talk about going out in a blaze of glory, Israel is certainly making the most the the last few hours before they are supposed to stop.!!!! I wonder how many more buildings will be gone come the dawn?

Thanks for the update Lindy.It is good to have your thoughts to share with those who ask. We are going to Port Pirie for a Pastors gathering so have printed out your report to share. It is hard to believe that the ceasefire will last but we can only pray. Good to hear that you are still getting good numbers at church even with so many leaving. Wondering if you still have access to a Western Union site?

Yes we can get to a Western Union nearby and although I am not sure if they are giving dollars out yet, they can pay in lebanese.
