I can’t stay silent, even though I want to keep this blog (not much of a blog lately, I guess) local. Still, I have to say it: BRING ‘EM HOME. Admit that we played into the hands of wicked but canny Islamists and stop giving them what they wanted in the first place, a war  meant to galvanize anti-American response in the Muslim world.

OK, I have that out of my system. Now, what should we as Christ-followers be and do in a world that is giving itself over to violence, greed and selfishness? Responding in kind is not an option, so how should ambassadors for the Prince of Peace conduct themselves in this corner of the world?
