Last week, 10 Christians were summarily executed in Afghanistan after spending several weeks in remote Afghan villages providing medical care to the people there...
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack as international reaction ranged from disgust at the abject barbarism to anguish for these saints and their families.
One of the members of the team was Tom Little, an optometrist from New York who has lived in Afghanistan for 30 years... he raised his family there, and has been providing free eye care and organizing medical missions since he moved there in the late 70s...
As I think about these precious brothers and sisters who literally gave their life to serve others, I wonder if Jesus is standing now...
May God grant peace and comfort to the family members left behind... and may the angels welcome these 10 new residents with a grand bash worthy of royalty!

I came across your blog when it popped up as 'next blog' after mine today - I enjoyed reading your comments, particularly as they are short: great little snippets of your life and this one especially brought home to me the tragedy of lives lost. Thanks.
