The census for Iraq in 1987 counted 1.4 million Christians. People began to leave in the 1990s when the sanctions imposed on Saddam Hussein by the United Nations began.  Today nearly all the Christians have had to leave the country or have been killed.  Did you know that when Jonah preached to the people in Nineveh they repented and worshipped God?  And Thomas the Disciple of Jesus stopped in Nineveh to share with them that their Messiah had come.  So they converted to Christianity. The ancient city of Nineveh  is  the modern-day  city of Mosul.


over 130,000 people have had to flee Syria this weekend.  Over 800,000 displaced people now crowd into camps in Turkey.  The situation is very bad.

I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
