The Return of a Warrior

I am at best ambivalent about the war and ongoing operation in Iraq. I have friends who, while otherwise agreeing on most things political, are deeply divided over it. I see both sides. Many of you know this is a rare thing for me.

Nonetheless, I wanted to share a link to an article written by the Dean of the Liberty University School of Law, Bruce Green, about the homecoming of his son Caleb, an 18-year-old Marine with the 2nd Light Armored Recon Battalion, 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade.

Because I was once acquainted with another member of the Green family, and they are friends of several different friends of mine, we prayed for Caleb during the intense days of the conflict. I'm glad to learn that a merciful God brought him safely home.

When I think of my little boy, I'm sure I would be very proud of him if he were called to serve one of his countries, but I pray -- I pray often -- that he will never have to go to war.
