One of the Brits kidnapped in Iraq this weekend is a family friend of a local blogger, Ben at Hammerswing75:

Mr. Kember is a good friend of my parents and a longtime member of my Granny's church, Harrow Baptist. I remember seeing him a few years ago when I was stopped by in England to visit my Gran. We were at the church and he came over for some conversation. "I remember when you were this tall", putting his hand down by his knees. He is an extremely nice man who went out of his way to be friendly. His wife Pat, who possesses an equally wonderful character, must be in absolute shock.

My parents have asked for my prayers. There will be many. I, in turn, am asking for yours. I hope that there will be many.

Let's take a moment and pray for the hostages, and pray for those who serve the people of Iraq that they remain safe tonight as well.
