Territorial Bloggings

Props & Prayers go out to the courageous people of Iran who are standing up & fighting for their rights.

It’s not often that we can discern that we’re living in a moment that History will record and note as significant, but this, I think, is one of them.

And, for all the silliness that happens on cell phones & on social networks like Twitter, it’s during times like this that we see how important they are. Without the web/Twitter/Youtube/cell-phones we wouldn’t be getting the real story from the ground in Tehran, as palpably ugly as it is. Instantaneous communication matters now, just like the printing press, radio, & tv did back in previous communication revolutions.

Now, I just wish our President would come out and strongly condemn the corrupt autocratic regime that is abusing the rights of the Iranian citizenry, and stop dragging his feet & playing it cool.

May the Triune God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — protect and preserve us all, especially those folks in Iran.
