As you know, we are currently engaged in events in Libya. You also probably know that I was not in support of intervention. But now that we seem to be part of the ongoing mess there, I would like to say this. Please pray for our servicemen. They serve as volunteers, are paid less than peanuts, and put up with a lot of junk to defend us. In the end they risk their lives to defend us. So please, pray for them and if you know a soldier personally, say thanks.
I also would ask for prayers for those in leadership of the coalition military forces as well as the political leaders involved. We are indeed called to pray for those in authority anyway, but I would express a special call to do so in times of conflict. (Which seems to be everyday these days.)
There also has been a bombing in Jerusalem's main bus station. Last I heard there were many injured, at least one critically. Please lift them up in prayer. Israel catches a lot of flak in the news that it mostly does not deserve. Frankly, they are the friendliest nation in the region and they deserve our respect and sympathy.
Lastly, Japan needs prayer as well. Radioactivity continues to spread and the death toll still is not completely determined. Pray for wisdom on the part of the leaders, patience and protection for those who aid and comfort to those who are grieving and suffering.
Thank you and GOD Bless,
Freedom's Scribe
