Please Take a Few Minutes and Watch This
July 7, 2009 /
I’m not breaking my hiatus, but you need to take the time to watch this, particularly on the week when a big to-do was made over the funeral of a pop singer. Sergeant First Class John C. Beale was killed in action the first week of June, and after arriving at Falcon Field in Peachtree City, Georgia, the body was escorted by the Henry County PD to the funeral home in McDonough, Georgia. The procession route was made known in advance. Please, please watch.
“a big to-do was made over the funeral of a pop singer.”
I hadn’t realised until today, when I bought a guide to next week’s TV programmes and looked at the letters in it, that one channel (ITV) had cancelled its coverage of Armed Forces Day (27 June) so it could do a Michael Jackson grief-a-thon (as I call the OTT mourning of celebrities).
A strange set of priorities indeed..
Do we need some real Heroes to set before our nation or what? I am kid’s church director and pre-teen Sunday school teacher at our local church. I am also retired special-ed. Our broken families with absent fathers leave our young turning to such “pop” stars that will fail them miserably as heroes. May God help us change the world or at the very least our part of the world. I enjoyed your blog. I’m rarely a serious person….I work with children!!! Have a blessed day.
I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. Have a wonderful day in the Lord!
