Greetings,
We have arrived safely and in good order back in Wichita Falls, Texas! Day is night and night is day for weary travellers. At this point, nothing has been sorted out. New lights are shining out in this world. So give me a few days to sort through soul boggling events and I will give an accounting of this glorious pilgrimage to the Holiest places in the Baha'i world.
Thanks,
KattPhillips
A personal account of a once in a lifetime pilgrimage of a Baha'i family to Haifa, Israel from North Texas. On the 7th of July 2007 (07/07/07) our family will depart from Texas on a journey of a lifetime. Local flooding, heightened travel security and violent conflict are par for the course. We will proceed, God willing!

Prayer for America
O Thou kind Lord! This gathering is turning to Thee. These hearts are radiant with Thy love. These minds and spirits are exhilerated by the message of Thy glad-tidings. O God! Let this American democracy become glorious in spiritual degrees even as it has aspired to material degrees, and render this just government victorious. Confirm this revered nation to upraise the standard of the oneness of humanity, to promulgate the Most Great Peace, to become thereby most glorious and praiseworthy among all the nations of the world. O God! This American nation is worthy of Thy favors and is deserving of Thy mercy. Make it precious and near to Thee through Thy bounty and bestwal.

Some Baha'i Faith Basics
The independent search after truth, unfettered by superstition or tradition; the oneness of the entire human race, the pivotal principle and fundamental doctrine of the Faith; the basic unity of all religions; the condemnation of all forms of prejudice, whether religious, racial, class or national; the harmony which must exist between religion and science; the equality of men and women, the two wings on which the bird of humankind is able to soar; the introduction of compulsory education; the adoption of a universal auxiliary language; the abolition of the extremes of wealth and poverty; the institution of a world tribunal for the adjudication of disputes between nations; the exaltation of work, performed in the spirit of service, to the rank of worship; the glorification of justice as the ruling principle in human society, and of religion as a bulwark for the protection of all peoples and nations; and the establishment of a permanent and universal peace as the supreme goal of all mankind—these stand out as the essential elements [which Bahá'u'lláh proclaimed]*
