That is a sad story and we're glad to hear from you (see Galveston's post).

The poor people of the various Indian nations must be thinking that God has been mad at them for the last 300 years! Their history, beliefs and customs are so beautiful and all revolve around their relationship with nature. It is so pure and basic and simple that it is truly heartbreaking to see how those customs have been bulldozed in a way by "progress". :(

You are exactly right Steph!!!

Dennis... I am glad all is well for you and I pray that the Apache tribe finds some way to get through all this recent tragedy. They have survived some tough times and I am positive they will continue to make it through this too.

I will be praying. Of course this is a dangerous fight but it is one that needs to be fought, as sad and as hard as it may be.
