Fourth of July this year finds two of my grandsons enrolled in military service and of course my cousin's son in Iraq. So while we here, stateside, sing patriotic songs, set off fireworks, and gather together to celebrate the nation's birthday, many of our young sons, grandsons, cousins, husbands and fathers are away in less comforting situations.
I pray for all our citizens and our boys overseas. I pray for an end to war and hate and pray for more understanding among people around the world.
Increasingly the need for peace grows greater. In this blog, I hope to cull readings and activities which may lead to peace. First and foremost, knowing and understanding people from different backgrounds, in my opinion, will lead us to a willingness to avoid war and work for peace in this world.
