Goats for sale along road side stands mark the fact that Idul Adhah is very near.

     The goats that are sold will be taken to mosques this Friday, October 26th, killed in the name of "Allah the most merciful" and the meat distributed to the poor.  Everyone will have their fill of meat Friday and Saturday. (Most people don't have refrigerators and wouldn't think of freezing meat even if they did have one.)
    This holiday is supposed to remember God providing a ram to sacrifice in place of his son.  Pray that our friends will understand that God also provided the sacrifice for their sins.  Amen.
