Who writes this stuff?

I try to keep my priorities in order: Jesus, my Andy, our children, everything else. I homeschool our boys, love to read almost all written words and have been challenged by the military life for 18 years. Right now my faulty human body is demanding a lot of attention. One day at a time, learning as much as possible every day and remembering to look for JOY when other things threaten to overwhelm.

My Blog Title Verse

"For the Lord gives wisdom. From His mouth come knowledge and understanding." Proverbs 2:6 NKJV
The Message translation puts it this way "God gives out Wisdom free, is plainspoken in Knowledge and Understanding."

A different side of Andy

 Through my Crosshairs

by Andrew Freeman

 

Through my crosshairs, then I see,

the need for more humanity.

He is my brother, and I am his,

we fight, I’m not sure why this is.

 

He has his thing and I have mine,

where we derailed I cannot find.

I wish we could stop this war we wage,

and end with all this useless rage.

 

He has his faults, as do I,

but this is not an alibi.

I hope someday, we’ll find an end,

to all the suffering and learn to bend.

 

Through my crosshairs I hope to discover,

peace from a war, and solution uncover.

I read this last night and was totally blown away by the deep insight from the simple words. This is something that needs to be passed around for all to read.
