Thank God, Captain Phillips is Safe!
On this past Saturday night at Reconciliation, a worship gathering at the church I serve, a mentally challenged member requested that we pray for Captain Phillips. None of the rest of us had thought to do so. We prayed for his safety and release, awaking on Easter Sunday morning to hear the good news that he had been rescued from his captors! Now we are praying for the people of Somalia. As you may know, Islam has been kinder to them than any other entity, providing for their basic and social needs. Of course, the church of the Lord Jesus Christ, hasn’t been given the chance in recent years to express love for these people. If Somalians are immigrating to your city, then seize the opportunity to show to them the love of Christ.

Nathan, this is a rather turning event.
It was rather stupid for the pirates to attack a US flag vessel. Keep in mind that flag of convienence nations like Liberia and Panama are not sending their navies to defend their ships.
While I believe piracy as a whole is not cool, it will continue to occur provided merchant ships are not able to directly (armed) to fight back. Most nation terratorial waters do not allow armed merchant ships and it is a huge liability for the commercial company.
Looking forward to our summer trip to Oregona nd Washington, Chad.
Your website is amazing. Is it possible for you to contact me directly regarding a previous blog post. Thank you.
