Important Information About Bergen, Norway Gas prices are way up compared to what they used to be even a year ago here in the United States, and everyone who drives a vehicle is outraged to say the least. I totally understand their plight. From the "old farm" we head to the next small North Dakota town I lived for the next 4 years, which was about 50 miles away. Along the way we make stops at some small cemeteries where many of my ancestors are buried. The most heartwretching stop we made was at a small cemetery near a country church where my mother breathed her last breath. She was attending the funeral of a relative when she sustained a massive heart attack and died. My husband and I were at her side when that happened. She was within a few miles of where she was born and raised when the good Lord called her to her permanent home. In addition, since Hamas' charter contains its explicit goal of eliminating the Jewish nation, signing this unity agreement meant there would never be a Palestinian treaty with Israel; that is a given. It also means that Israel and the international community would eventually become impatient with the Palestinians and pursue another path for a regional treaty. In fact, based on Bible prophecy, this is exactly what will occur. oslo is the gateway to Norway, and offers many cultural attractions, nightclubs, cafes and boutiques. The best season to visit the place is between June and August when the sun shines at its peak. Even winters are a good time to visit Oslo, when the city is coated with snow. It is important to plan ahead as there are numerous places to visit and it is humanly impossible to fit them all in a short visit. A few months ago, Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas proclaimed that he would bypass negotiations with Israel and go to the U.N. Security Council for a resolution. The resolution for which he and other Palestinian leaders hope is the U.N. declaration of a Palestinian state. Michael Phelps has of course had setbacks. He was arrested for driving under the influence (and under legal drinking age) after his first Olympic bid in 2004 (significantly decreasing his earnings potential in the athletic marketing world). He broke his wrist last October and had to have surgery, interrupting his training regime. It appears God is using this U.N. bid to permanently move the Palestinians away from any possibility of negotiating a Middle East treaty with Israel. Since Israel is at the center of His prophetic plan, and since the Palestinians are absent from the prophetic picture given in Scripture, it appears that God is using this U.N. bid to move the Palestinians out of the prophetic picture. Gay, who finished second in New York, marveled at Usain's stride and size. Track fans started buzzing about an Olympic showdown between the two sprinters, but it was not to be. Gay injured his hamstring during the Olympic trials and did not race in Beijing. Abbas could have had a Palestinian state already had he simply been willing to acknowledge the right of Israel to exist and accept the offer of 98% of the West Bank and East Jerusalem as the capital of the new Palestinian state. (This is the offer made to Abbas by Ehud Barak while he was serving as prime minister of Israel.) Yet he preferred to take the risk of a U.N. declaration; and what a risk it is, as we will see by examining how that has turned out thus far. The performance is rare for the city of Rockford, and one that you won't want to miss. Call (815) 964
