So this weekend the US passed 4,000 deaths in Iraq, no matter what your belief is about the war on terrorism and the war in Iraq..I hope that we can unite in saying that 4,000 lives lost, is a sad day. It is a sad day for the world when we send our family, our […]

Offering reconciliation

As many of you know - and also feel - the wars around the world cause me such pain. It is the loss of life, the futility of losing loved ones. After losing someone close to you, you value life..you don’t want anyone to suffer the pain of bereavement. The stories of the war tend […]

A Thought for the Day

I saws this quote from Anne Frank
“Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.”

Do we support the families of military deaths enough?

Thoughts on the loss of a soldiers life…

I wish, as a world that we could find peace, find a way of living together rather than dying together. Death is always painful but for me, death through war seems wrong. My heart aches when I read about the widows of soldiers and cannot imagine their feelings. As civilians that benefit from others giving […]
