Editorial by John Kostura
If I am right and this is a spiritual battle, then we are all soldiers in this conflict. We must keep ourselves from holding revenge, hatred and fear in our hearts. To do so would give victory to those that would destroy us. In particular we must guard the hearts of our children. Pray for all the children on all sides of this conflict. Especially pray for those who would destroy us. It is our best weapon and our best defense.
From Brighteyes*~*
I am also going to do some serious soul searching about certain so called Friendships I do have. Time to do some housecleaning. If I am not growing corn with them, then.........................................chou and all that.
I am in the time of my life where I am looking for more meaning with people now, not so much quantity. As they say, less is more *S* Been doing a lot of thinking in that regard lately. I know lots of people, but few I can really call "Friend".
Could not resist sharing this. I was amazed at number of definitions!
