Just a bill..for now.

I'm not on my way to Oklahoma right now. But the good news? I don't need to be.

Turns out Senator Coburn lifted his hold on the LRA Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act yesterday morning! And today it was unanimously passed through Senate! This means it moves on to the House for a vote, then to Obama for a signature, at which point it becomes a law. He then has 180 days to come up with the strategy to apprehend Joseph Kony. There's no guarantee that the strategy will be legit, but with enough pressure from people like us, I think it will be. As long as our government knows that this bill is important to us and that we will not step down from seeing its passage, then I don't foresee any more major challenges.

Praise Jesus for softening Coburn's heart and letting it pass through Senate. Pray that it makes through the House with little trouble. Pray for the strength of those working tirelessly to see an end to this war. Pray for the millions affected in east and central Africa. Pray for the children forced to kill and torture. Pray for the families whose children have been abducted or murdered. Pray that somehow, someway, Joseph Kony and his commanders would cease their terrors in Africa.
