Just one request I bring:
I do not pray for happiness,

The thing that pleaseth Thee.
I want to know Thy guiding voice,
To walk

WILL YOU PRAY FOR THE TALIBAN?
I am all too ready to say that the TALIBAN deserve God's judgment without really thinking twice. I tend to think of them in the same way that I think about SODOM AND GOMORRAH. But did Sodom and Gomorrah really deserve to be judged? Does the Taliban? If I knew that a
