Hurting

Following in the "Children" theme (although not nearly as light hearted as the last post), I've decided to post some pictures and a link regarding the children of Iraq. I came across a web-site that had a bunch of pictures of the children in Iraq in the context of the war we are fighting over there.

They broke my heart.

Too often we let our hearts slide into this "war over there" mentality. We forget that there are real people being affected - People with brothers & sisters and sons & daughters - People who dream and love and hope.

We tend to think of our "War on Terror" as a war that pits us against the bad guys who are trying to terrorize us.

It affects many more than just those people. This war we are fighting affects people. People people. Let's remember to pray for those people.

Following are some pictures of children in Iraq. Here's a link to the full gallery (warning: graphic).
