This a rather bizarre incident. The IRA declaring that they would end their armed campaign. Last Sunday I was in church. During prayer time somebody suggest that God protect us from terrorism. I shot my hand up and the minister asked me what my prayer request was. In reply to the previous prayer request I said, “I want to up the anti. Let’s pray that God would move the hearts of the terrorists to repent.” An “Amen.” came from the previous requester.
Sure enough the IRA repents of their armed struggle. I hope that will include the Islamic terrorists who ruin it for the rest of us and their fellow Muslims who want to live, work, and pray in Western countries in peace.
