I know I have talked ad naseaum in the past about the situation in Darfur and slowed down during the past few months. However, the media is much more on top of the ball than it has been in the past. In fact, NPR has been doing a fine job keeping up with the situation Sudan (and Darfur in particular) the last few days (yes, this is how I spend my short commute time- I have had to find something else to listen to since Howard left celestial radio:).
So, if you are not familiar with what is happening, or would like to educate yourself a bit, here are a few reports worth listening to, so you can keep abreast to the situation and know how to pray and to respond individually.

Sorry for the brain lapse, I have been at work for 18 straight hours and just got home.
The ministry he is now serving in is .

How do you put a normal link into these comments without losing the inserted text????
The only html I know is what I copy from friends.
So, i have not idea. I have always wanted to do it right, but have never been able to. You have always been a bit more tech savvy than me.
Did you notice that Mohler blogged about Darfur this week? Thought you might be curious.
