Aung San Suu Kyi FREED, huzzah!

In other breaking news (although it's a few days old now), Aung San Suu Kyi, the recognised leader of the people of Burma (not the military junta), has been released (again) from her housearrest, after spending the 15 of the past 21 years jailed in her own home. Praise God!

This is such a pivotal moment in Burma's history - the country could swing either way.  Further into chaos, or upwards into democracy.  Especially, I think of my friends from Burma who would love nothing more than to be able to return to their homes.  I, myself, desire to see God's hand touch the hearts of this nation and draw these people to Himself, so that they won't go to a Godless eternity of suffering.

Please be praying, during this time of political upheaval, that:
-- Aung San Suu Kyi will be able to reunite her people, and negotiate a democracy with the military junta
-- The fighting and bloodshed will cease between the Burma Army and the rebel state armies
-- The villagers will be freed from persecution, slavery and fear
-- The love of God would be known, and would prevail
