What will you stand for today?

History shows on October 16th wars have started and ended in dramatic ways,

Marie Antoinette lost her head
John Brow raided Harper’s Ferry
The Cubian Crises began
The ‘hapless expansion team the New York Mets beat the powerhouse Baltimore Orioles 4 games to one to win the World Series
Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho negotiated a cease fire in Vietnam
Desmond Tuti won the Nobel Peace Prize
Louis Farrakhan led the Million Man March
David Trimble and John Hume won the Nobel Peace Prize for brokering the peace accord in Northern Ireland
President George W. Bush sign the congressional resolution authorizing the war in Iraq

I’m listening to Casting Crowns sing Courageous. Fitting isn’t it on a day when men have stood in courage for things they believed would make the world a better place.
