*"NOT ON OUR WATCH"

I just finished this book, "Not On Our Watch". It is great for supplemental information to the other resources I have kept up with on the various situations of the Darfur/ Sudan genocide.
I read it since the actor Don Cheadle felt led to be a spokesman for Darfur after he learned so much from the making of "Hotel Rwanda"--one of my favorite movies with so many valuable lessons in it. It was such a horribly tragic event in history that should not have happened after what we had learned from the Holocaust. Don co-authored the book with John Prendergast. Though definitely not eloquent writers, that's okay. They had some great insight to be able to share their experiences in the field and in dealing with the political world. I respect them for standing tall in a situation that is so controversial; yet, is this really such a controversial issue? Shouldn't we all be standing firm? No matter who, what, or where, GENOCIDE is something atrocious that should not be tolerated. All people should be able to stand tall and stand firm for these victims.

"Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God! He gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. (Let nothing change you.) Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor is not in vain."
--1Corinthians 15.55-58

God's love and grace is more than enough to heal our lands.
