I recently received this chain mail from a relative of mine :
At a prayer meeting held in Akron, Ohio on February 11, 2003 one of the prayer warriors mentioned that the Lord woke him in the middle of the night and told him that if one million people would pray for Sadaam Hussein to abdicate the presidency of Iraq, we would avoid war. At the meeting we agreed to contact 10 believers and ask that each one contact 10 more belieivers. Please pass this on and with God's mercy we will avoid such a conflict.
Yours in Christ,
This made me chuckle a little bit. Now God is taking votes for his actions. It is nice to know that the workings of the universe are now a democracy, instead of the dictatorship they have been for the past few thousand years.
I also like the phrase "prayer warriors". The word "jihad" comes to mind, but I cannot think of anything funny to put with that to make it sound futile and foolishly optimistic at the same time.
