"Islamic State militants seized a string of Christian villages in northeastern Syria and kidnapped scores of civilians, according to human-rights groups and local residents....
Fifty-five families were missing, he said. Priests, women and children were among the hostages seized, the Assyrian Network for Human Rights said on Tuesday....
The radical fighters raised Islamic State’s black flag over the villages after seizing them on Monday, the rights group said. The captured villages have large concentrations of Assyrian Christians, an ancient minority in the region."
Lest we think this is in a land far, far, away, consider that reports say the US has allowed more Muslim immigrants in the country the last few years than those from Mexico and Central America, we should sit up and take note. Imagine this is your neighborhood, your friends, your family... because it very well could be as long as Americans remain agnostic to the growing threats.
Please pray for the missing families, for the children and the parents trying to remain faithful and strong, for protection, rescue, and justice. Pray for our nation, that it will wake up out of its stupor. Pray against the one who sustains this evil, for he will not rest until his demise.
Please, God, bless!

Inspired by "365: A Daily Creativity Journal: Make Something Every Day and Change Your Life!" I decided I should be more conscientious of my creative side. I chose to modify this one year challenge (9/23/14-9/24/15) to create something each day that would also force me to focus my perspective on a Godly world-view.
