Please go there, and click on the 'Light a Candle' link. Then click on 'Groups' and then scroll down until you find the Peace candle group. This site IS hosted by a Christian group-and welcomes ALL faiths without ANY attempts to change one's beliefs...
When I went offline the last day of July 2006, this candle group was down to a single digit number of candles burning. I lit one, and prayed for peace and lots more light bringers...
When I got back online exactly one week ago, I had some blogs to check, then I went to the candles, and almost fell off the chair-over 100 candles were burning! I forget how many countries were represented the first day I was back, but I can tell you that today, nearly 250-TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY!-CANDLES ARE SHINING-LIT BY SOME ONE FROM OVER 30 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES!
IMAGINE IT!
At least two hundred people from over 30 different countries came to light a candle and publically pray for peace amoung men!
France, Italy, Israel, Lebanon...Great Britain, Austria, Hungary;
the US, Canada, Egypt, Belgium! Hati, Malaysia, Germany, Poland, and Romania;
Brazil, Argentina, New Zealand, Sweden...
The testimony of over thirty different countries where some one person said in his or her native language, and in his or her homeland, "Today, I will be a light..."
'LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH,
LET IT BEGIN WITH ME...'
And thank-you, ML from Luxemburg, for finding the little 'group' I started for my son, and for lighting a candle there.
Please tour the site and if you wish to light a personal candle for a personal concern, I can tell you that you are welcome to do so-be prepared that someone may find your candle and add their voice by lighting one with you.

Regretfully I've had to update my blog to comment moderation to prevent spamming. LOL, if only the fools knew my blog is seen by a very small and select group-it might help them understand the waste of time it is to spam my blog! Oh well, it's not as though spammers are very bright, after all.
