I hope all you that are my fellow veterans had a good Veteran’s Day. It was nice to be in the U.S. for this occasion. I enjoyed being able to witness to veterans last month. As Christians, we should witness to everybody, but it is often easier to gain confidence of someone when we can personally relate to them.
