Dear Editor, Prayers for the devastated people in the Middle East.  Prayers for the families who have had loved ones murdered before their very eyes.  Prayers for the families who have loved ones held as hostages. We pray for their safety and release.  Prayers that hate filled terrorists may be overcome. Why do we have such evil on this planet? Why is there so much hate tied to a religion?
