Loved one: Come home?

Tom Fox loved his enemies. He lost his life loving his enemies. Could you do what he did? I don't think I could. If you had a loved one voluntarily in the throes of danger, such as peace activists in the Middle East, what would be your advice? Come home?

Or should you try to dissuade someone who says he felt God's leading?

video games, basketball courts, Foosball

It used to be that churches/houses of worship sponsored skate night or a free movie to reach young people. Now there are family life centers and this. What do you think of DayStar's unique approach?

Friends:
The news overnight indicates that the remaining three CPT hostages, Harmeet, Norman, and James, have been freed. Details are sketchy, but evidently a plan had been in the works for some weeks, and the American and Iraqi military and police were involved, although reports say that no shots were fired.

A prayer vigil in celebration of the safe release of these colleagues of Tom Fox will be held at the usual time of the weekly vigil for the hostages: today, 1:00 pm, in the Hut.
