Rejoice! Norman Kember, James Loney and Harmeet Singh have been freed. Checkout BBC website at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4836218.stm
Checks and balances - the next BBC headline is that 15 were killed by a suicide bomb in Baghdad.
For the joys and for the sorrows, for the best and worst of times, for this we have Jesus. (Kendrick)
We rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn. We remember the family of Tom Fox and the former captors of the men now freed: all God's children needing our prayers.

I feel just the same: a mix of emotions. A glimmer in a dark place doesn't always herald the dawn.
I wonder whether Norman Kember will be able to use his celebrity to speak to some advantage? There will be interviews when he returns to the UK. Perhaps he can find something good to say.
