Have you ever wondered why the worst moments in humanity bring out both the best in people and the worst in people?
Is this Gods way of showing us the true fabric of our neighbors, our culture, our humanity?
Why is it that when the call is sent out for help some will readily stand and take up arms in defense of a cause or go to the scene of an emergency to aid those that were caught up in the disaster, while others will stand off on the sidelines and attempt to derail the cause or attempt to fix blame on the shortcomings of the response or look for some hidden meaning behind the disaster?
My friend in Iraq almost died the other day, but a person was in his path that could see the nobility of his cause. He set up a small barricade that caused my friend to stop and think for a moment. Infact the barricade was so small that his vehicle could have driven over it without a second thought. But something told him to stop. Was this the hand of God at work? I do not know. What I do know is that a noble man saw the need to act and he didn't stand back and do nothing, he stepped up and at great danger to himself he took action.
Are you so self centered that you can't see the truly honorable cause right before you?
Which group do you want leading you?

Amazing, isn't it?
Glad to hear that your friend is OK.
Deep thoughts and something to definately ponder. It amazes me how you can see the worst come out in people in a time of great need.
My brain is mush lately with as much as I have been dealing with. Add to it the struggle that so many down here are going through and to be quite honest all of my stuff seems small and petty compared to the families that have moved into my hometown with nothing to their name.
I am relieved to know one of our guys is still kicking becaus someone made an effort to help out.
HUGS to you dear.
