Every morning I walk my dog Bette and I think of a subject that keeps my mind occupied for a large block as I limp along and she pushes me most of the time.
Of course today being Memorial Day, I could not miss the flags especially the POW ones. They are black and morbid as they should be! They represent some of the best we as a country have and some that leave us way too early for a justified cause!
That is my discussion this morning, THE JUSTIFIED CAUSE! Do we make these up as we go along as a nation, a country a world? And why since we are all so religious do we find war as a way of life?
I don’t have the answer, but maybe, just maybe if people think on the subject and as the world connects more through online social networks we will see we have more of a reason for living than dying!
I can’t get out of my mind the 48 hour NBC special last night on the loss of 9 of our soldiers for absolutely nothing. Nothing was gained and no responsibility was taken for the mistakes made. Two days after losing 9 and injuring 27 our leaders decided to leave that area. Nothing gained lots lost.
I have never lost a son or daughter to war. But today I find it interesting that religion would attack a song by Lady Gaga that defines the worst in us, the best is always there. The Apostle John said it well "that the good I desire to do, but the bad I am constantly resting with"!
After centuries we find reason for losing those at the prime of their life! We did it for our civil war! We did it for World War 1 and 2 and today to stop them from coming here and killing us!
I strongly believe the trillions spend overseas should be spent watching our borders and taking care of our citizens. But then again who am I to decide what to do! Maybe someone should ask those that have lost loved ones as we remember them today. Do we find reasons for war instead of reasons to avoid war?
As a nation and as individuals we remember and love those we lost though we may never have known them. But as a nation and a people we should not only make Jesus a virtue but maybe just maybe someone we should cling to!
