Good Morning, God
The international headlines asked the question "Will NATO bomb Roman ruins in Libya?" The sub-plot says "NATO refuses to rule out bombing Libyan Roman ruins." The ruins are beautiful; the ruins make a person stand in awe to think about how the Romans did it without the equipment that we moderns have.
For example, Lord, what would the Romans do about the ruins of the Jasper High School gym? How would they tear it down? Right now, a huge crane is sitting on the parking lot, taking aim at the fallen roof and leaning walls. One man controls the destiny of that gym.
Lord, it's almost the same when we consider who we bomb and what we destroy. It is often one man who puts his signature on the dotted line; Oh, we know that there is most often good discussion by any number of people before such a decision is made, but there is usually only one signature.
Lord, what if we could be the one voice who could stop destruction, stop wars, stop killings? Don't we wish our pen could be so strong to do so? Lord, may those who must make the tough decisions as to whether to destroy or let stand be given the wisdom of Solomon this and every day.
In Jesus name, Amen
