Bagels and bombs for breakfast

Today’s breakfast menu includes: bagels and bombs? Part of this morning was spent running to the concrete bunkers when the warning sirens went off. I can’t go into details of why, but we did get to spend some of the day wearing our IBA and on lockdown in our area. I can’t imagine the Infantry guys that wear all that gear all day, every day. My heart truly goes out to them.

Surprisingly, I can’t say that I was particularly fearful or nervous while in the bunker. If it is your time, it is simply that- your time- and I refuse to live in a constant state of anxiety for the next 16 months. This isn’t to say that I am not aware of the danger, but I refuse to let that awareness overwhelm me.

I just want to say Thank You for being there so that I can be here. Thank you for fighting such a big fight so that I can tackle littler ones here. Thank you for sacrificing so much, so that I can take so freely. I am humbled by your sacrifice and I will be praying for safety, peace and strength. May God Bless you immensely as you seek Him.
