And to think, I bet you complained about dinner last night. Try eating raw jellyfish. Quite an amazing read.

Oh! I heard about this. That's so scary.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

That's amazing! Sure shows the power of prayer! But wouldn't eating raw jellyfish be a slow way to die (after all they are poisionous).

those two boys are actually from around where i live, and the area where they went fishing is notorious for being a place where ppl drown in the water there, so my first thought when i heard about the boys' disappearance was that they'd drowned somehow, on the local news they showed the entirety of an interview that was done with the older boy, and you should have heard him praise God for bringing them back from that, i definitely say this qualifies as a miracle
