Hi,
I'm pinging you to an article I wrote that I thought you might find interesting--it's on The Passion of the Christ and an idea for focused prayer for the situation in Iraq.

I hope you enjoy it.

and Happy Easter, btw. :)

I didn't see this thread before I went to church, but thought this was very interesting -- our pastor, whose son is in the 2/7 Marines in the Sunni Triangle, asked the entire congregation to join hands this morning in silent (and then led) prayer for our troops in harms way in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere in the world. There were probably 250 people there focusing in prayer for about 5 minutes together...and that was the early service. I'm sure it was repeated in the late service where there were probably over 600. This must be a God thing....
