Into Death Valley
We journeyed down from the southern Sierra Nevada Mountains and through Death Valley. The lowest point in the US in Death Valley is about 290 feet below sea level, and the highest point in the lower 48, Mt. Whitney, is only about 100 miles away. America is an amazing place. When we went through the valley, there was a cold front moving through and the temperature was just 85 degrees. It is a beautiful place in its own way. 
The stars and stripes flies in Death Valley and reminds us to think about and pray for the men and women serving in "death valleys" abroad. I want to give a shout out to an old friend, Rex Padgett who is serving in Iraq with the Indiana National Guard. We know that he and his fellow comrades are doing their very best.

Jess,
It is awesome to see the many places your path takes you, I do greatly appreciate the "shout", my soldiers are doing great things here in Iraq, an experience that I believe will pay great dividends the rest of their lives. Until our paths cross again, may God light your way! And know that I pray for you and your "family", prayers do come true.
Your Friend,
Rex (Q-West, Iraq)
