By now probably most of you have seen the news of the hostages in Russia, most of whom are children.Just would like each of you to take a moment to offer up a prayer or thought for all those involved.I'm a great believer that no mater what your faith prayers, good thoughts and love can turn anything around.Thanks.

I've been praying all day for a resolution that saves every one of those children. I fear my prayers are tainted, however, and God will ignore them. I feel very pessimistic about the outcome of this situation. You can't reason with fanatics. These people have no conscience, no heart, and no compassion about taking hostage and threatening elementary school children. They're cowards and bullies. If I've started a controversy and any of you choose to disagree with me, feel free. But this is the beginning and the end of my comments about this subject. I won't apologize for my words or my beliefs.

BTW, Princess, you have mail.....

I'm both heartsick and angry about this, and praying for the safety of those being held. How again do these people think it will further their cause? 3000 people on 9/11, countless in Israel and Ireland, several hundred in Spain, the movie theater in Russia earlier this year, now jets exploding and this in Russia. Detractors say fighting terrorism is useless, yet this is what happens when we don't.

Yes, I'm praying for safety, but God, I wish You would let justice fall upon those messengers and doers of evil.

Amen, Princess! The terrorists/murderers who commit these murders, IMO, won't be swayed by anyone and wouldn't turn to God because they don't want to change from their evil deeds. I sincerely wish they'd be snuffed out before they kill any more children and other innocents.

My prayers are with the innocent people who have been killed, the ones who are going thru this, and their families. What horror to have to face!

Actually I haven't heard about it. I will definately say a prayer for them. I've been so busy at work and getting ready to go to Colorado City, CO tomorrow, I haven't had much time to watch TV or read these wonderful post.
