Today was an amazing day!! I had the opportunity to fly to ancient Mesepotomia and visit the Ziggurat of Ur and the birthplace of Abraham. I actually toured the ruins of Abraham's birth home and walked the ground that Abraham walked!! I met with an Iraqi man who's grandfather helped excavate the ancient city of Ur. Since Sadam had such content for southern Iraq, he did not allow much work to be done, so there is still alot that needs to be uncovered. To learn more about the City of Ur read the following scriptures: Genesis 11:28 & 31, Genesis 15:7 and Nehemiah 9:7.
Scroll down to the very bottom of my blog to see some amazing pictures of Ur and Abraham's Birthplace! So few people have ever had this opportunity!

What an amazing trip and a lifetime opportunity. Like you said, not many people can say they have stood in Abraham's house. I sure would love to have seen a picture of you flying the U of U flag over Iraq. I'm sure Roger Cook would have, too, except for the red part ;) Keep writing-I love reading about what you're doing.
