35-4

Today, after finishing an episode of 30 Rock with my husband, I had extra Chai to drink before bed and settled on catching up on the blogs that I read. Justin Taylor has a post about a man who may be put to death very soon in Afghanistan for his Christian faith. My light heart turned heavy. 


I read about people such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer who lost their lives because they believed that they were following God's call. This man refuses to denounce his faith, even with his body beaten and his life threatened. My heart and prayers go out to him.


Post on your twitter:

Mr. President, speak wisely and boldly, in private if necessary, for Said Musa, imprisoned in Kabul. http://dsr.gd/ezR3jW @BarackObama

Mr. President, please persuade the Afghan govt. not to execute our brother Said Musa. http://bit.ly/bQ5RLQ @BarackObama Prov. 24:10-12

 If you falter in a time of trouble, 

   how small is your strength! 

Rescue those being led away to death; 

   hold back those staggering toward slaughter. 

If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” 

   does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? 

Does not he who guards your life know it? 

   Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?

-Proverbs 24:10-12
