Prayer Alert!

Batavia should be considered a suburb to the east of Cincy. It is a hotbed of patriotism and conservatism. Our soldiers and veterans are honored area-wide so we can expect an entire region of this state to be consistently praying for this young man, PFC Maupin.

Lord God, we pray for this young soldier and his safety. Give him wisdom and clarity as he relates to his captors. Help him to see that exaggerated words spoken to keep himself alive will be understood by his commanders, his comrades, and his country. Give him the opening he needs while being filmed or recorded to send that clandestine message imperceptible to an enemy but recognized by our intelligence analysts. Above all, Lord, we pray for his spiritual condition. Draw him into a closer relationship with You. In Jesus' name we pray; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

They showed our Soldier's face - a violation of the Geneva Convention, isn't it? Does that now make Al Jazeera a fair enemy target?

Thank you Happy, xzins. Joining you in prayer for PFC Maupin!
