Soldiering On

"Keep me safe, LORD, from the hands of the wicked; protect me from the violent, who devise ways to trip my feet." Psalm 140:4

My baby brother leaves tomorrow morning for a year term in Afghanistan.

He will celebrate 20 years old at weeks end.

Not fashion, food critics, or the city's fanfare matter one bit.

Oh God on High, bring him home.

And Heaven, help my heart.
