I really didn't want to address certain issues in this blog but with the recent events I just have to say something. On Saturday 8/7 10 medical missionaries returning from some remote Afghanistan village were gunned down...no they were murdered...and the Taliban is taking credit for this atrocity claiming that "they were American spies".
The leader of the group of missionaries comes from an area in upstate New York where most of my mother's family members resided and still reside i.e. Schnectady. As an eye doctor he gave 35 years of his life to the service of the poor in that country and he will be buried there in a Christian cemetery in Kabul.
To all who read this post, please whatever faith you belong to, pray for the 10 martyrs and their families. One young doctor was engaged to be married.
