I never want to go to sleep,
it’s not a restful place.
There are no pastures filled with sheep,
there is no quiet grace.
I see the places I have been,
and relive the bloody toil.
Whaddaya feel, shootin’ a man?
yeah, the old joke…recoil.
I’d like to put it all behind
but it seems that I must learn
to reconcile this in my mind
to obviate its return.
To be sure, I’m not feeling guilt,
but must pay homage to the faces killed.
Reconciliation is a God-thing, Andrew: “God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:19)
Look for posts on a subject, Bible verse or quotation.
I KEEP IT SHORT & SIMPLE.
Why?
Almost half of American adults read below high school level. God looks at your heart, not your reading skills. Big faith can be built on simple words.

Yes. You’re right.
