It's been said that Love hurts, I would say that's an understatement. Love does hurt, but it also rewards, renews, rejuvenates, and grows. Love is a gift given to us by God. He has allowed us to be able to feel love and every other emotion associated with it; love, hate, anger, envy, jealousy, forgiveness, desire and lust. Wait a minute, hate, anger, envy, jealousy, and lust? Those aren't good things you might say. Why would God allow us to feel that? Simple put, God is Love. A life without God is a life without Love. To be absent from Love is to be absent from God and thus is Hell. God does not reside in Hell so by default if you are living in the absence of God you are living in Hell, a place void of Love. By being able to see and feel the absence of God here on Earth, if one chooses, gives you a glimpse into what an eternity without God might be like. It would not be fun, actually it would be Hell. Maybe God allows us to feel the bad emotions so that we get a glimpse of what Hell might be like.. As humans we have the choice of life with God or not. Some will say it is Satan that causes those bad emotions. I disagree with those opinions. Satan is only as powerful as you allow him to be and I for one choose not to give him that much power. He does however make attempts to gain a foothold from time to time. In those times I try to laugh and say 'I don't think so fella, go back from where you came'.

The Masters of War
Well it looks like we're engaging in another war, or excuse me a "Unified Multinational Coalition Response" with Libya. Whatever the politically correct buzzword is today we're doing that in three different Country's now,....four if you count our drone attacks in Pakistan. War is now an everyday part of our life and our children's lives. I have a good friend who brought to my attention the other day that his son who is nine years old has not lived a day in his life that his Country (The United States) was not at War. That really stuck with me. When I was that age I remember the nightly news broadcast's- ABC World News Tonight was the prefered at my house- showed nightly images of the War in Lebannon and the latest dispicable goings on of our mortal enemies the Soviets. But that was worlds away, that wasn't my Country. The movie "Red Dawn" was a rural 12 yearold boys dream, it made me think that I too could defeat the Soviet Empire with a rag tag band of my fellow classmates, and at the end we'd walk up onto a big stage and Princess Leah would place a medal around my neck and ....wait that was a different childhood dream altogether.
The point I guess is that War is not something unique to our society today. War has been around ever since there was enough people to engage in one and it will be around as long as people inhabit Earth. If we ever make it to other planets we'll have Wars there as well. I beleive War is an Evil force and Evil will follow humans where ever we venture. I'm no Biblical scholar, but I can't help but think that this is not the LOVE that Jesus Christ preached about. Lay down your weapons and follow in Christ's way, ....I know I was taught that as a child. What are we teaching our children?
