Such, If!

Such intense sorrow
Such undeniable pain
If------------------if!
Vanity of vanities,
 Lives are lived... in vain.


Such depths of hopelessness
Such pits of despair
If------------------ if!
During our lifespan,
We have lived... without care.


Such utter desolation
Such conquering gloom
If------------------if!
We, projected onto others
Worthless fog... of doom.


BUT----------------------

Such immeasurable rejoicing!
Such a resonation in celebration!
If-------------------if!
We have, lived,
pouring out our being
And have, been used, as vessels for the freeing...
Of endless others.


Such are, twin soldiers recently lost
To brutal savages... in Iraq!


If!  you, truly value freedom,
give a shout!
Give thanks unto God,
for those who
are
... being poured out.

==========================================

And let us offer up prayers of thankfulness - and now, healing -  to their families and friends and loved ones.
    YOUR CHILDREN DID NOT DIE IN VAIN!


==========================================

I give a shout to You, Almighty God, on behalf of these three - and all the others, O LORD, whose lives are required to keep safe, the rest...as they continue to protect us ...and deliver the Oppressed.  Come, LORD Jesus - even so, come quickly!

EVER-true, once again, and again and once more.
You were able to open, a brave heart's, heart: door.
The pain we actually felt, cause He allows you, to:
feel it, too.
Him thru.
Holy Spirit ink, flowing from your quill,
With, beauty, and empathy,
you, capture, the wonder, the thrill!!!

Such sadness and badness that the power of the gun still exists in this century...
When will mankind grow up. We are only alotted 3 score and ten. Time to use our time with understanding and love...
Wars can only cease when men say no; to fighting...
May they RIP, brave souls..

Amen! I second every word you have so passionately and beautifully said! The Lord inspires you Rhonda!...I did an article this morning on the same subject. I'm so sad about this situation, that should not be called a war. It isn't it's a crime fight against terrorists, who hate us and they are all over the world, and the sooner our populace realizes the difference between these fiendish fanatics and true muslims who love theri Allah, we will be better off. The terrorists must be defeated they are diabolical, but foolish ignorant people try to make this a war against innocent muslims who have problems. It is deceitful and insidious work of evil to keep us as the enemy, while the heinous terrorists are pitied by ignorant "do gooders" God be with the families and may they know His peace as they mourn their sonsand all the other heroes who gave their lives for the betterment of the world!

Amen, Rhonda. This will be a long bloody war until we can get good intelligence as to where these people are and we can root them all out.The Democrats would have us cut and run, but they were defeated today on two counts. We have to be careful who we elect in these turbulent times for it's our lives that are at stake and our Country.

God Bless them and their families..
Their sacrifices have not been in vain..
And we will round their killers up, and smoke out the bad guys wherever they run and hide !
God Bless

AMEN!!!

Jerry Bolton wrote of this this morning too! Very good also!

A tragic, and horrid thing, the loss of these young men. I cannot even imagine what their parents are going through.

War is such a mindless and ferociously indiscriminate beast.
