Election Day Minus One

This is just a public service announcement...

The elections in Afghanistan occur tomorrow - October 9th. For those of you who don't know, there are 12 people running for "prime minister," including one woman, Karzi, and half a dozen regional rulers (known more popularly as "warlords" - where's the PC police on that one?!).

If you pray, or even if you don't, consider praying for this one. I can't think of anything more effective to do - particularly because I'm stuck over here on this side of the world.

I really hope that good things happen for these people. Please protect the voters - particularly the women. Your Kingdom come. Your will be done in Afghanistan as it is in the place where you've made all things right. Give them what they need to sustain them and help them learn to forgive each other in light of your true forgiveness. Lead them in your good way and deliver them from evil because...

I believe...

I believe...

I believe...

That you have a Kingdom

And that you are Good

And that you are bringing to end these days of death.

Even so, come Lord Jesus.
