As I close out the day, I am thinking of the sacrifice of one who died for his "boys." My hat is off and my prayers are with the surviving members of Jared Monte's troup and family. Jared Monte was awarded the medal of honor posthumously today. Over 100 members of his family attended the ceremony today as President Obama awarded the medal for Monte's heroism and loss of his own life as he tried three times to rescue one of his "boys" who was wounded and in the direct line of fire of a group of about 50 enemy troups in Afganistan in 2006.
I am reminded of the Great Sacrifice of God's only Begotten Son who gave His life for me. I need to share with you the short story of one of our church members who had a vision last night. He awoke and sat on the edge of his bed. He saw a blank page, then, suddenly the words "I am coming soon" appeared on the page. He was born, He died, He was resurrected and He is coming back. And all of this for me...and you. I love what Jared Monte did for his "boys," but nothing compares to what Jesus did for us!
