Brothers, too often time and space erode the bonds of brotherhood. People move. Mail gets lost. We forget to call. Emails go unanswered. In an effort to connect us together a bit, this blog is a place to share personal news updates, post photos, ponder out loud, muse on theology, share encouragement, and post news on upcoming gatherings.

Above is a letter from Staff Sergeant Daniel Clay, USMC. Daniel Clay was mentioned by the President in last night's State of the Union address and his family was in the viewing box with the First Lady. I encourage you to copy the letter, paste it in Word, enlarge it, and read the final words of a solider in his own handwriting. (Or, if you want, email me and I will send you a PDF version.) I was moved by this powerful, gripping account. As we think about our charge to keep and our calls to answer, let's remember the One who said: "Greater love has no man than this, than he lay down his life for his friend."
