The choir sang a rousing rendition of Battle Hymn of the Republic in church today, and my mind flashed to the Civil War where soldiers spilled blood on battlefields in this country. Hard to fathom. Even harder to fathom is the ever rising toll of our soldiers still fighting 'over there., War is hell, we are told. So is getting old, What's worse is wondering what life will be like for my great grandchildren. Probably our Civil War veterans wondered the same thing. And the cycle of life goes on. Maybe peace will be our legacy. Anything less is lunacy.
