Today, VJ and I were struck by how callous we can become. This morning, I read on bbc.com that US soldiers were killed in Afghanistan. I absorbed that piece of news with other factual data from the site without much thought beyond the notion that there still is a battle that we're fighting. Tonight, we received news that a man who lived behind us, in Lathrop, was killed in Afghanistan. Please don't forget those serving our country. It's real. You won't read about him in a textbook but he has a wife and a son and his wife is expecting their second child in December. He died for us. Please pr*y for his family.
Please also pr*y for those of us in a different battle. Please pr*y that we don't forget this is truly a battle, with life and death at stake.
