BERLIN, September 5 (Itar-Tass) -- Islamists, who took part in the taking of hostages in a secondary school of Beslan, North Ossetia, were citizens of Syria and Jordan, reports Bild am Sonntag with the reference to German secret services.

The newspaper said that terrorists from the Magomed Yevloyev group came to Beslan to order of Shamil Basayev. They were drilled in training camps of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan.

German secret services fear that Russian missions abroad may become targets of Chechen Islamists in the future. For instance, Russian embassies in EU member countries may be attacked, the newspaper said.

This horrible event along with 9/11 sure makes one wonder why
God is AWOl...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GOD is not AWOL and HE is sad. Man is inherently evil. From the beginning of time remember the tree of good and evil. If Adam and Eve had not eaten the apple, we would be flocking around watching the animals and eating fruit off of the trees without a care in the world. See below verse...

Genesis 6
5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.

Evil roams the earth looking for a chance to temp one and all. This is where your free will comes into play as the choices you make. In a very simplistic manner we could say we all chose everyday weather we are going to eat the apple or not. See below how the devil roams. This is his earth till Jesus comes back.

Job 1
7 The LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" Then Satan answered the LORD and said, "From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it."


1 Peter 5
8 Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

GODS Blessing to YOU

I feel sorry for you, if you ever take her shopping in Mexico. It's the ultimate gitzy store.

Every time my daughter visits from NYC, we have to make a run for the border, and I wind up sending a large UPS package. There's always to much to take on the plane. This has been going on over 20 years now.

Mexico? What Mexico? Oh, you mean that place down south that only has really old K-Marts, and you have to speak Spanish or you can't buy anything?:)

LOL, I've been to Mexican border towns, ate the food and learned Montezuma's Aztec Two-Step, all that stuff. And that's why there's no way I'd take my kitsch-loving kid shopping in Mexico, no matter what the exchange rate is. Some of that junk is really amazing, it's so bad!:)

Over 20 years? To Matamoras? (gulp) Nuevo Laredo? Not... Jaurez?

Well, you see what happened? You took her shopping in Mexico at a tender age and now you're really stuck.:)

Best regards

Hold it right there! Zell Miller is from Georgia!

Yeah, but so's Jimmy Carter! Blast 'em all and let God sort them out!:)

[JustPiper]

Oh My, you are upset.

All I know is God did not give anyone the right to take away someone else's child, that child can only be called home by Him!

[Quix]

Hmmmm.

Thought I was more concerned than upset!

Thanks for your kind response!

Agree about the time of our graduating being in His hands.

LUB,

I guess they don't want to remind Americans of the existence of terrorism

No - they don't want to admit that is-slime is the root from which terrorism grows.

[rrrod]

Ive been looking ...I believe we have run into some Chechens in Iraq. Anyone see anything on this?

[xJones]

Even though it was about ten years ago, as the Russians will, they blame themselves for any and all tragedies. It's a spiritual self-chastizement.

Yes, anyone who's ever struggled through the 1000+ pages of a classical Russian novel knows that. Dostoevsky's books are a prime example. It's not that profound truths aren't expressed, they are. And expressed, and expressed, and expressed.....

[MarMema]

LOL, this is true!

... fear that Russian missions abroad may become targets of Chechen Islamists in the future.

Not if the Russians kill all the Chechen Islamists first.

We lost a fine young man from our church in a fatal tractor accident this week. His parents went to the site of the accident, lifted their hands to heaven and dedicated the boy back to God. They realize that there is a time to live and a time to die, according to scripture. Our church family is devastated but we know without a doubt that this Christian teenager knew the Lord and we will see him again. God allows a lot of things we don't understand. We just have to trust Him, as hard as that can be at times, when your heart is broken.

[JustPiper]

Prayers for this young boy Mary!
My daughter just learned how to drive one this past weekend on a trip down to Alabama

I don't know what you mean by a "test of belief". I might be able to explain my position a bit better. Sorry I seem numb, I am not trying to be...

[Marysecretary]

Thanks. They had a terrific celebration of his life yesterday. About 800 people attended, filling the church. He was such a good kid. I hate to think of my grandchildren driving, too, but...it's part of life. I appreciate your note. Maryxxx
