Don't Forget Kenya

There are many tragedies in our world - Darfur and Iraq come to mind easily. And then we can't forget Burma and Pakistan. The list can actually go on and on.

In amongst your busy day, please spare a thought, prayer or white light moment for the people of Kenya.

The disputed presidential elections has resulted in the death of over 300 people in the last few days. Overnight the news broke that 50 people who were seeking shelter in a church were burned to death.

And that doesn't take into account the looting and other forms of violence in the country. It is too dangerous for some people to leave their houses and they are beginning to run out of food - what a horrible choice, starve or be shot.

Part of the violence is between different ethnic groups and then the police are also opening fire on groups of protesters. Whatever the 'reason', it doesn't justify the action.

All in all it is making my heart ache.
