I'm not sure if I will be praying that someone else commits murder even if the man deserves it. Seems wrong somehow to pray for someone to violate the Lord's laws.

Prayers for the children and prayers for the government or military to stop this man is definitely do-able.

I can pray for the kids..but I just can't pray that someone gets killed.

Try this one.

Sorry about the link. I didn't check it regularly.

And Pam, you're right, that outburst was uncalled for.

There are horrible things happening to children all over the world. I wish I had the means to help support numerous agencies that are attempting to fight some of these battles for them.

Gretchen, it's a big assumption that people don't care. Just because I don't shout to the world all the stuff I've supported with money doesn't mean I don't care.

Like Pam said, tell us what we can do....besides prayer.

Most of these links talk about the women, but let's be honest. You can't protect your kids if you can't protect yourself.
