Who is this glorious king?
He is our LORD, a strong and mighty warrior.
Psalm 24:8

| I snapped this picture as my son left on his first deployment |
It was our son’s first deployment and we were on base to see
him off. Toward the end of our visit, God showed me things I’ll never forget.
The men were called in groups to the low, brick building
that held their rifles. When Jimmy came back with his gun, he took great
delight in explaining all about it to his brothers and his dad. I stood a few
steps away, just watching and praying. As I watched, I realized that he was so
comfortable with his weapon, it was like a part of his body. He knew every
piece of it by touch and handled it with a casualness that bespoke many hours
practice.
