… and fighting Jesus would be too easy … as he’d just keep turning the other cheek like glass Joe in Mike Tyson’s punch out

… Dan loves me you heathern!

… that was my point ol dad … glass just stand in front of you and let you hit him

Who gets to choose what parents they are born to, their birth nation, ethnicity, religion they are taught by their parents, skin, eye and hair color, political biases? What would your life be like if you were born in Africa, Colombia or China or Haiti or Gaza or ---?

Do you think our national can wipe out illegal drugs if it was a national priority? I do

How will Christ judge all of us fairly when we are all born and raised in such different circumstances, with different advantages or disadvantages?

I believe all of us on earth are children of a loving God, brothers and sisters. And Christ teaches us we should love one another, even our enemies.

I believe as a nation we must defend our interests around the world, control our borders, and deport illegal aliens, and guard against muslim terrorists and sedition from within.

It's easy to hate an entire class of people that have harmed us or our ancestors and that mean to destroy us. But how does God view it all?

I remember watching a youtube video during Desert Storm. It was taken from the air at night with night vision. Two men in a big truck stopped, got out and retrieved a big shoulder fired rocket launcher from the side of the road. When the tracers from our shells came in from the side totally obliterating the men and the truck, I remember feeling totally thrilled by the efficiency our enemies were killed with.

A few seconds later, I remembered a recent talk in church about us all being children of God, brothers and sisters, and that we should love one another, even our enemies. But it's not easy to love our enemies that want to kill our troops and us. And I thought about it for a long time. What were those two men's childhoods like? How were they taught? If I were born in their shoes would i do any different? I know it was wrong for me to be exhilarated with watching them die. But I know it was the right thing for our military to kill them.

I think we should all step back and think about "There but for the Grace of God go I" once in a while. How would you be any different if you grew up in their shoes?
