The conflict in the middle east

Friends--pray for the situation in the middle east...obviously things are getting harder & harder in Israel & Labanon. I've been emailing w/a friend from Butler who a lot of you know (Shaden Dowiatt) who's over there right now w/her Israeli mom. Her mother's family is from Haifa, the Northern Israeli town that was bombed by Hezbollah the last few days. I got an email from her last night...see below:

"sup bro. im safe now, and mentally feel safer here in Nazareth. 2 mornings ago i woke up to the sirens and explosions, that lasted throughout the day.... sooo scary. you look at the sea and see all these war ships.. i felt like im in a movie. 007 style. but i insisted on coming to nazareth which is all arab. so that night we took a taxi here and are staying w/family. here life continues, haifa is a different story. i dont want to go back to haifa till its over because the noise of the sirens is something i cant handle. the people in lebanon break my heart. anyways, pray for these sad people."

So let's take her advice & start praying! Our power rests in it. Shalom & peace my friends.
