My reviews are coming...but you need to read this...it's a post from a guy named Greg Boyd, whose thinking about Jesus has certainly influenced mine. Since I was at a beach on Memorial day I had some time to think, and I found my mind wandering to why we have this day off...which naturally led to some unpleasant thoughts. Typically when that happens it means those thoughts are important, and so my natural instinct is to discard them ASAP. Reading Greg's post solidified what I was thinking (MUCH more eloquently and succintly) so I include it below. Read and spend some time on it...

Memorial Day Reflections

I think this picture (also seen on Greg's blog) says it all...

    Having family that have participated in every armed conflict involving the United States since it's founding, I have two thoughts that come to mind about war...

    It is well that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it.
    Robert E. Lee
    US-Confederate general (1807 - 1870)

    and

    War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
    John Stuart Mill
    English economist & philosopher (1806 - 1873) top
