He was carrying them back when he had to stop because ISIS had taken the city. He is hoping that someday he can get back there with the Bibles, and that the imam will still be alive.messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-244468163880320692016-11-15T07:29:59.737-05:002016-11-15T07:29:59.737-05:00you threw us a curve by putting in a harsh perspec...you threw us a curve by putting in a harsh perspective check...TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-63994361596914342702016-11-15T07:15:30.291-05:002016-11-15T07:15:30.291-05:00Funny yet powerful stuff Joeh.

I can't imagine living in Mosul; I am glad I do not. I don't like being inconvenienced and a bus more than a few minutes late definitely in my books was an inconvenience. I think I live too sheltered and privileged sort of life. I guess I'll call it a blessing.<br /><br />Glad all worked out in the end!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
