It was early Easter Morning and my son was waiting for his mom to get up before gathering Easter Eggs... oops, Spring Spheres. A quick glance at the headlines could have made one wonder about the very existence of a God, much less a God who would come to earth in the form of man and die for mankind. But this is the miracle of Easter. "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come."

| "But Woodrow Wilson said..." 30 x 40 inch Mixed Media on Panel |
In 1917, President Woodrow Wilson addressed Congress to tell them that World War One was, "...the war to end all wars." I think he was wrong. World War One cost France and entire generation of young men. As with our Civil War, we fought one war with the tactics of the last and the weapons of the next. Trench warfare with the advent of the machine gun was insane, yet generals continued to send waves of men to slaughter. In our recent conflicts, we have attempted to fight clean video game type wars at great cost of American Blood.
My father used to warn me, "fight only those battles worth winning." Sound advice for both a son and a leader.
