Itchybum,
what do you have against someone praying for another when there is a time of crisis?
To answer your question: Yes, I am and yes, I did.
I agree with you that my comments here on this forum are unlikely to matter much to the families involved. Nevertheless, while I am unable to make much of a difference in the personal situation of any hostages, I believe that God can.
I'll bet those same hostages (if it is in fact confirmed that they are hostages as that appears to be unclear at the moment) and their families would find some comfort if they knew there was people upholding them in prayer in a situation like that, regardless of whether they give a hoot about church or not.
Woomera, I will endeavour to not make any further remarks on this matter but I was challenged with a direct question which I won't hide from.
Apologies to all other readers - no intent was on my behalf to make a religious debate out of this situation or this forum.
TJ
