Why Does My Soul & Heart Feel So Bad?
We are all consumed here at home with national politics, right versus left, conservative versus liberal, and even Christians versus Secularists. But, I think it is terribly, terribly important to stop once in awhile and get our heads and hearts out of such mundane and often frivolous matters and remember that many of our finest children have died to offer a chance at liberty to the people of Iraq and Afghanistan and we have still more that will yet give their lives in this most noble cause.
I also want us to remember that many families at home are still mourning their loss, they too have paid a price to defend this nation and bring freedom to the Iraqi and Afghanistan people; and these loved ones at home are still crying out, “Why does my soul feel so bad?”
I also pray that what these fine people paid so high a price to give to others will not drop by drop be taken away from those they left at home.
Lastly, what a terrible shame it will be if after so many have died, so many more had their bodies broken, when we are so close to victory, if the remaining troops will be ordered out because a temporary new occupant of the White House and a new Congress will be fulfilling damnable campaign promises and not out of true conviction.
