I also remember a couple years back where they came into a pastors house, beat him severely, arrested him, and then when Americans got involved, they released him from prison. BUT days later went back into the man's house, beat them again and took all their blankets and heaters so that they would freeze to death. I think other people came to their aid by supplying new heaters and such but just becasue these people get released, it doesn't mean they are left alone. The way things work in other countries is not how it works here. It's so sad. I wish I could do more than just pray for them.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079989571191266715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979718059516665913.post-40046185265725909902008-08-29T05:57:00.000-05:002008-08-29T05:57:00.000-05:00I don't see China keeping these folks imprisoned f...I don't see China keeping these folks imprisoned for long because the world is watching and will hold them accountable.

We live in such cooshy coosh here in America, we forget what struggles other people have, at least I do. I personally struggle with whether living in America is a blessing or a curse. While I have such freedom, it's so easy to get sucked into the ease and pleasure that comes with it. <BR/><BR/>I used to think that people <I>used</I> to be persucuted, like in the Dark Ages, "but hey, we are, like, SO over that barbarism!" when in reality it never ended...Most people today think of it for a moment, for a mere breath and then go on to talking about the latest football game or a favorite episode of Seinfeld whereas these Christians live as if that one breath was their last...Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079989571191266715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979718059516665913.post-75958237653345567142008-08-28T20:16:00.000-05:002008-08-28T20:16:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.MelanieJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11678136709252939843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979718059516665913.post-11311785157564605002008-08-28T17:33:00.000-05:002008-08-28T17:33:00.000-05:00Thanks for sharing, I will be praying.Thanks for sharing, I will be praying.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275456448997619944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979718059516665913.post-15676865669412193312008-08-28T17:11:00.000-05:002008-08-28T17:11:00.000-05:00Wow.
