Into The Zone

I just found out that my baby brother who is married with two children is being sent to Bhagdad next week...
As I stare numbly at the screen, words assault my inner being. So many thoughts invade my mind I have to shut down for awhile. Emotions churning like butter being whipped, feeling pain and hearing cries for many miles. Teardrops falling quickly, frozen in time, a salty sea that evaporates unseen. Images flashing swiftly across eyelids crusted, tightly shut, seering pain... we were once innocent children like the many that have died, what a shame. Days harvested into years have changed our naive views. One fact, forever certain... part of me is part of you.

As someone who has served in the Armed Forces and a military brat, I know it can be difficult to send loved ones into harm's way. This is a wonderful show of support for all those in the military -- both abroad and holding down the fort stateside.

Beautifully expressed, Zenith. I had those same feelings when my brother served in Viet Nam on the front lines. He died this last July of cancer, probably caused by agent orange. No matter the outcome, your brother will be fine and he already is in my prayers. In fact, if you will send a prayer request to lighthouseofprayer.earthlink.net, I'll see that he is prayer for globally! Please read my poem, "Do You Not Know?" inspired by Isaiah 57:1-2. And, remember, "no matter the outcome." Love in Christ~~ Bonnie Q

This is so lovely
I am sorry that your brother has to go
I hate that all of these young people need to be in that hellish place
God Bless him and God bless you
