SOMETHING ABOVE, BELOW, BESIDE
Tonight’s post will be short. I just finished reading an article about Stalin’s systematic starvation of up to 10 million Ukrainians in the ‘30’s, stealing their grain and exporting it. The horrors of what millions of people suffered in the 20th century from Nazism, Communism, Socialism, and radical Islam is unimaginable. I cannot fathom the callous cruelty we humans often have towards one another. I am fortunate to have been born in a country that has been almost completely untouched by governments that turn on their own people, and hope this remains true for my children and grandchildren, although the prosperity and freedom we know are never guaranteed. That being said, tonight I am grateful for a roof above me, a bed beneath me, and my wife beside me. Were I to have nothing more than this, I would be a blessed man.
