Jenerally Speaking

Meghan’s (my daughter) father is stationed in Mosul, Iraq and they lost a soldier the other day when a rocket-propelled grenade hit the vehicle he was in.  This is the first time I am actually struck with a bit of fear about the safety of her dad.

She has grown up hardly knowing him.  We were never married (I was only 19 when I had Meghan….even good Christian girls make questionable choices sometimes!) and he has spent the past 12 years being sent from city to city and country to country for the Army.  He is married now to his second wife and has recently begun to put a lot of effort into getting to know Meghan better.  I really don’t think she will be able to handle it if her father were hurt while he was over there.

All we can do is pray and count the days until they are all home again….God bless our troops.
