Images to Consider During Advent

The picture above is one of the tame ones, although the eyes of this child should shoot heart-wrenching pain into those who look on them, especially any parent with a little one about this age.

I am sure that this will be the most painful Christmas/Advent Season I have ever experienced, including the past two “unemployed” ones. The Prince of Peace looks down on the city of Fallujah, not far on a worldwide scale from the city of Jerusalem for which he wept. These are horrific (these pictures on this site). Christians and all others who believe that peace should and can happen should protest in mass. Come on American Christians. Have some balls, some conviction, and some faithfulness to this Jesus whose name you invoke.

Fallujah in Pictures

the intro to these pictures:

most americans have not seen images like these.

i do not doubt my countrymen’s decency, and neither should you. i don’t know what to do about this mess, but I know the answer is not more violence. if you look at these pictures and want more war you are not looking hard enough.
