Praise God for the brave Navy men who brought an end to the hostage crisis of merchant Capt. Richard Phillips. Sadly, we can be pretty sure these pirates were immediately plunged into the terrors of hell, however, when they put themselves in harms way, that was the wage of their sin.
How sweet the reunion will be back home. An AP article noted:
Back home in Burlington, Vt., Andrea Phillips sent the message to her husband that "your family is saving a chocolate Easter egg for you, unless your son eats it first."

Praise the Lord for his safe return home. So often these things don't end well and sadly as you said, those pirates are now paying for their sin

I was so relieved that they got him back alive, his wife and family must be rejoicing! I know he is glad it is all over. That must have been scary, extremely.
Can you imagine what he flt like when he jumped in the water and tried to escape and they fired machine guns at him and he swam back to the boat and got back in. Yikes! I'm glad he didn't get hurt.
I feel bad for the 16 year old boy, I'm glad he is safe and alive and in America.
Chocolate Easter Egg! .... I would have made him a Texas ''Chocolate'' Sheet Cake! Yum. Or a Mississippi Mud Cake (it is chocolate too) Now thats worth your Calories. ;D

Amen to the cheers for the SEALS! They are the most elite fighting force that exists in the world. A testimony to their abilities is the fact they only used three shots to kill all three pirates and it was at night.
I am so pleased the Lord heeded the prayers of His children in bringing the captain and the entire crew to safety.
In Christ, George
