Dear Greg…Thank you for your excellent reporting on Afghanistan & Hazeem’s concerns for his life his family. Please let him know that I am earnestly praying for them & his fellow translators.

I ask our Almighty God to give him dreams @ visions of angels unawares to protect them all. I pray that God will give him peace, knowing that we are praying for their protection & that the Lord will cover them from all harm, esp his wife & daughter. I have asked the Almighty to surround the entire perimeters of Kabul w/His mighty angels to thwart all wickedness & death.

I pray for you as well Greg, a fellow English major, for God’s inspiration through words…He being the Supreme Word. Please excuse my errors…I am 84 & my eyesight is compromised.
