Discerning God's Work In The World: Tips From The Times For PreachersMonday, April 11, 2005What's wrong with this picture?From The New York Times April 11, 2005: Insurgent attacks on Allied forces have dropped to 30 or 40 a day, down from an average daily peak of 140 before the Jan. 30 elections. 36 American troops died in Iraq in March, the lowest monthly toll since 21 died in Feb. 2004.
