Today is Sunday, June 01, 2014, the Ascension Sunday, the day that our Lord left this Earth to go back to His heavenly abode, and the 48th. day of captivity for our girls. Did they know it is Sunday? Would they know it is Sunday? Who will tell them? Do their captors even know? …

Could anyone imagine what it will be like to be thrown into a hole, dark, humid, no light, tight, no space for movement, no lavatory, only standing space, girls stepping on top of one another, possibly no food, no water, waiting, hoping, morning comes, the day breaks, and it is night. Nothing happened today, the 48th. day of their captivity.

Tomorrow will be another day, and again, hope rises.
