"Almighty God; We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection; that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government; and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large. And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation.  Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."   ~ George Washington

   As America faces one of the most devestating periods in history, I am amazed to hear that people continue to walk away from the only one that will be able to save them.  God please help America, and every other country and people that continue to turn their face from You. 

   During my time here in Israel, and away from America, I always realize what a blessed country we have because of the foundation that was set for us by our founding Fathers. 

    Last week I was able to talk with a Jewish man that came into the office to sell me some insurance, we all got along really well, and were just talking and sharing.  At the end of the time, he gave me a calendar (In Israel the New Year starts in October) so I asked him if I could give him a gift, he said sure, the gift that I gave him was the greatest one that I have which is the New Testament.  I think that he was very surprised that I gave this to him,  he didn't really want to keep it, but because it  was a gift, he took it and said that he would read it, but he said that I needed to remember that he is Jewish and that He goes to Synogoge.  I said that was fine Jesus was Jewish and went to Synogoge as well. 

     Please pray for this man His name is Shimon.  My hearts desire is to share the gospel to everyone that I meet.  I know that the Lord has a great plan for bringing me back to His Holy City. 

    Thank you so much for your love and prayers, God bless you  ~ Grace
