HOORAH!

The first email that I read this morning was from my friend—Buck—expressing deep pride in our military. Since I had not yet read the news, I could only infer that it had something to do with the Somali pirate situation. (I am asleep when much of the news breaks Stateside.)

I immediately went to a news link and read:

Hostage captain rescued; Navy snipers kill 3 priates.
Cargo ship Capt. Richard Phillips, right, stands with U.S. Navy Cmdr. Frank Castellano after Phillips' rescue Sunday.
Like Buck, I am extremely proud of the UNITED STATES MILITARY—and especially our NAVY and MARINES…HOORAH!

(Gives new meaning to Easter Seals! :) HA!)

Once our eyes are opened, we cannot pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows what we know, and He holds us responsible to ACT.
