"A Dream"


 Dear Doves:
 
  I had a dream last night  that I want to share with you to see if God will reveal anything through any of you:
 
  I was on my property (though in the dream it was in another place that was high above the land below).  I saw some people and went to see who it was on my land, and they had Army tanks, vehicles,  and military personnel there.  Suddenly, I looked to my left and saw a BIG tank that was pulling another large dozer or a kind of road building equipment.  They were joined together. In Iraq today, it is the military that must go ahead of the re-builders to protect them.  But the soldier driving the tank decided he could drive down a very steep road below, pulling the earth moving equipment behind him.   I knew he couldn't possibly make it as the drop off was too steep, even for a tank, so I yelled at him.  Another soldier was standing nearby and he saw what was taking place and he too yelled.  When the tank operator started down the road, he was not aware that it was so steep--but it was too late.  Both the tank and the dozer cascaded off the cliff and crashed below.  It was horrible.  We could do nothing to help this poor soldier.
 
  My thoughts are that this has to do with Iraq (because of all the military).  The three main items are (1) a tank and (2) a piece of road building equipment) and (3) the soldier driving the tank.  All three will perish because what looks to be an easy thing to do will end up in disaster.
 
  The tank is used in warfare.  The road building equipment is being used to re-build Iraq.  And the soldier is just doing his job. In Iraq today, these are the main components.  But there is to be a sudden wrong turn of events, and the driver of the tank will fall victim to it, as will his tank and the equipment he pulls.  We might see it about to happen,(discern it spiritually)  but too late...there is nothing we can do except to yell and warn, and we will be yelling as it is happening right before our eyes.   Our thoughts were for the soldier who would die, as I remember now how the other soldier reacted when he saw his friend perish.  He was crying and sobbing at the loss of his friend.  Especially knowing he was helpless to keep it from happening.
 
  If Kerry were to be elected, it would be just as if the ground underneath all we are doing in Iraq will give way and it will all end up in disaster too...especially for our soldiers.  In the dream the event was on my left where it happened and Kerry is definitely on the left of everything Bush is trying to accomplish in Iraq.  You and I, sitting in a safe place above all of this, might see it about to happen, but be helpless to do anything about it, nor able to console the valiant soldiers who feel such loss.
 
  I hope and pray I am wrong about this interpretation, but in any case, we can and must pray.
