Don’t ask my why I have never thought of this, but as I think about today as Veteran’s Day and the soldiers who have fought with their lives for my freedom, I’m pretty certain I’ve never thought of the own who gave His life for my sins. While I know that was and is not the intended purpose of this day of reflection, it is a thought that needs to be with me today, and every day.

May God bless you and all of those who gave up their personal freedoms to protect mine.

“Freedom is thrust upon us, and we must take it whether we
will or not. Happiest is he who takes it most completely and
most joyfully, but also most seriously and with the deepest
sense of its dangers.”
– Phillips Brooks (1835-1893)
