thank you, vets

this memorial day weekend, i just wanna say a big ol' thank you to everyone who either serves or has served in the u.s. military or has family members doing so. i have lived with a determination to remember our military for several years now (check out this post from way back when i first started blogging.)

you should know that all the stuff i write about africa and other places around the world i write because they are special to me, but none of them are special to me like the u.s.a. God has blessed our country to be a blessing - and because of the sacrifice of so many of you in our military, we have a place to live where we are free to worship God and to serve him. say what you want to about whatever adversity our nation is facing from those who hate the Gospel, we still are by far the easiest place in the world to live, and the free-est place to worship. that comes with a big "to whom much is given much will be required" message, for sure.

i just wanna say thanks. y'all are very much appreciated.
