Hooray! Summer is here! Summer is here! Ah, bring on the 100+ temperatures & sunburns. . . I hope you guys had an awesome Memorial Day weekend. Sunday I went with Mom, Dad & Chris to the National Cemetery in Dallas for a memorial service. In the presence of all those veterans I felt very proud and undeserving. For the sake of our freedom they watched their closest friends die before their very eyes, put their lives on hold and everyday live with those memories and the lingering pain from mental and physical injuries. My 'desk job' with the guard seems very insignificant. Thousands upon thousands of people have dedicated their lives to protecting our country, this causes me to pause and realize that I am lacking in the dedication department. God calls us all to relentless obedience and service: we must be willing to die for him without batting an eye, pack up and move to the ends of the Earth for his sake and have compassion for that really annoying person everyone likes to avoid. How willing am I to serve Christ? Is my life truly dedicated to the God of the Universe?
