Norman Rockwell, The Peacecorps, JFK's bold legacy
Psalm 133:1King James Version (KJV)
133 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
Hebrews 13:1English Standard Version (ESV)
13 Let brotherly love continue.
For the Fourth of July I uploaded a Peter, Paul & Mary song to Youtube, "Because All Men Are Brothers," and found myself thinking of my brother-in-law who served in The Peace Corp in the 1960's. Because he left us too soon, I'm wishing that I had asked him about his service, what he did and why. Was we driven to do good or was it a means to escape the draft? If I had asked, he likely would have answered truthfully. Regardless of his reasons, he served others as well as his country.
I cherish an evening spent in his home, when this very quiet man pulled out his guitar and began play and sing. He had a lovely voice and he honored us by sharing his gift. I could almost see the young man that he had been as he sang. In his honor, here's a song for all those who dream of peace.
