(Image property of Reuters) I am saddened by the situation in Iran.  One of my friends is from the country and recently lived in Tehran.  Such a relationship makes international affairs so much more real and alive.  What we see (or, in the case of Iran, don’t see) is happening to real people, and that pains me.  So next time you sit down to pray, or think that you have nothing to pray for, remember the 70 million souls living in Iran right now. I have learned a small amount about the people, culture and beautiful lands and have developed a deep sense of appreciation for the country.
