Memorial Day

Hello, dear readers.  I had thought I'd taken a week off or so from posting, but I see it's only been 4 days.  Oh well.

I wanted to address Memorial Day.  I can't put into words how grateful I am for all those men and women who have sacrificed, and are sacrificing, for our country.  My brother-in-law is an Airman, my granddad was an MP in WW2, I have the privilege of knowing a NAVY Ensign, an ARMY Sergeant, and a Marine Lieutenant along with many other servicemen.

I've been raised to honor military personnel as heroes, and I do.  I also get teary-eyed when I see commercials and movies about war and veterans, etc.  My favorite war movie is possibly We Were Soldiers.  I tear up every time I see the montage where the wives get the letters from Vietnam that their husbands have died...I can't even imagine.  I don't want to try.  I am not qualified to comment on war.  As long as US Troops are in the field, I will support them.

I look forward to more blog posts as the days come, but in order to post, I must delve into Scripture so that the Holy Spirit can teach me.  I feel the loss when I don't read.  I love God, and I need to commune with Him.

For the Kingdom,
Stuart
