[Qcwa] pearl harbor day

[Paul L. Schmidt]

As one who was not out of high school until after Viet Nam was already over,
I'll have to write a 'well said' to that.  Finding that perfect balance between
security and forgiveness is not an easy thing to do, even though we have the
perfect Example to follow.  The current political correctness would have us
overlook the minor detail that - in addition to the passage cited - our Lord
also gave the directions in Luke 22:35-38.  I've still never heard a sermon
on that passage.
