Stop Kony!

One hundred twenty-three years ago, on April 20, a man who would change the world was born: Adolf Hitler. He mobilized an army that committed atrocities that were rarely ever paralleled in history and was responsible for the deaths of millions of people including over 6 million Jews. As a result of this, an army rose up to suppress this international threat. Those that stopped Hitler were called "the greatest generation."
Now another man shakes the nations: Joseph Kony. So far, he has forced an army of children to fight for him against their own families. His army has captured young boys to add to their numbers and raped the girls they once cared for. The army itself is a victim of its own "cause."
Will this generation rise up to stop Kony? Will they work to send troops to help the African nations to stop this man whose actions demand justice? Or have we lost ourselves in our conquest for comfort? Does it not matter that these children are being forced to kill their own parents? Does it not matter that these young girls are being raped by young men that never wanted to fight?

I, Propitiator: "Chapter 20"

Chapter 20

Love came to my rescue, wrapped me in his grace and carried me to a place of beauty profound.

Camryn sat Cassandra down. Then with a soft and serious tone, she spoke, “Listen to me, you can’t protect her from everything that will happen to her, but you can give her to someone who will be able to.”

Cassandra looked at Mom unsure of what to say so she continued, “The love of the Prime I is strong enough to defend her, yet if you can’t accept this, your own worry could hinder his efforts. How can he rescue her if you do not allow it? Let him save her, stop trying to resist what you know to be true and ask him to come to her rescue. He will listen to the honest plead of a mother on behalf of her child.”

Cassandra sat there, biting her lip, uncertain of what to do or say. She loved her daughter so much, but she didn’t know how she could believe this was really happening, she weakly said, “If he can save her, let him.”
