Yet what many believed happened, he failed, another life taken too soon, taken by the hands of the “enemy.” We are far but out of enemy territory, instead the President of ours considers sending 30,000 troops overseas a necessary increase. Lives of young football players, hearts broken wailing mother, when will it end?
A life now gone, taken away, filled by a church of his peers, family, confidants, not memorialized in the media, not honored by a mass show of support from our city, a simple good bye, military pall bears stood at attention while rain poured off their brims. Nothing spectacular, nothing but sorrow. As the preacher stands before the congregation of over a thousand family and friends, he asks a question that makes me ponder, “Our Lord is good, let me hear you clap if you think our Lord is good.”
The roar of claps echoed down the halls. The Lord is good. He took this solider home, he will seat him near him, share a meal by his side, the Lord that we all need, the phone call that will come to each of all bringing us to our knees, not a president of false hopes, not a senator claiming he has the answer but the Lord that saves us all. The Lord that first gave his only son for our precious lives.
