I just got an email from a friend who has moved on from my church. He has had an abiding interest in the problems of Sudan and was spearheading a move to relocate a group of refugees to our area, a move which sadly was pre-empted when our gov't in its wisdom decided that refugees were some sort of threat to our national security (never mind that these are people who have had no concept of security of any kind in their lives).

The current situation over there has really become horrible beyond words. Do your own news search on Sudan or Darfur or Chad to see what I'm talking about. Here's the most recent Yahoo news story.

I'm not really even capable of knowing how to process things like this. Reminds me of Judges 19:29-30.
