and I'm feeling good

Welcome, folks, to Light of a New Day. This blog project was started back in 2010 by Jake and Sydnee. Over the years, several others have left their mark, by contributing articles, their time, and love for Christ. The blog has went through some dry spells, because - let's face it - we all have moments where posting happy thoughts isn't quite possible. For Jake and Syd both, someone shot the bird dead out of the sky. Unfortunately for them, that bird was a phoenix - and baby, it's back. What you can expect are posts. Maybe not regular, and maybe not all of them will be happy. This phoenix is an honest phoenix, life isn't perfect - and people need to stop acting and teaching like it is. This is Light of a New Day. a REAL day. If you have any thoughts or comments, would like to drop us a contribution, or would like to join our team - drop me a line at trun4rth@yahoo.com

God Bless,
Attractive Narrator Voice

War Stories

Today in Writing class, our teacher read us a short story out loud. It was about war and how this author sees warfare as a romance. I dont get it...I realize taht some people reading this may be military, or know someone who is military, or desire to serve the country as a soldier in the future. May God bless our soldiers for their sacrifice. And I realize that once many combatants go to war, it becomes their whole life.
This author said "you're never as alive as you are when you have almost died." This may be true, but I dont get the romance concept. How can something so grotesque and unexplainably tragic be so engraved into the nature of mankind? Why do some people thrive on war? I guess as long as we have war someone has to do it, but should we perpetuate it?
I am having a difficult time seeing the beauty and chivalry in modern physical warfare.
